write.df_to_fasta: Write a data frame to a fasta file

In baseq: Basic Sequence Processing Tool for Biological Data

Write a data frame to a fasta file

Description

This function writes a data frame to a fasta file with the same name as the data frame. The data frame is assumed to have two columns, "Header" and "Sequence", which represent the header and sequence lines of each fasta record, respectively.

Usage

write.df_to_fasta(df, output_dir = getwd())

Arguments

df	A data frame containing fasta records with "Header" and "Sequence" columns.
output_dir	The directory path where the output file should be written. If not provided, the working directory will be used.

Value

This function does not return a value, but writes a fasta file to the specified output directory or the working directory.

Examples

#sample_file_path <- system.file("extdata", "sample_fa.fasta", package = "baseq")
#tempdir <- tempdir()
#temp_file_path <- file.path(tempdir, basename(sample_file_path))
#file.copy(sample_file_path, temp_file_path, overwrite = TRUE)
#read.fasta_to_df(sample_file_path)
#write.df_to_fasta(sample_fa, output_dir = tempdir)

# Write to working directory
# write.df_to_fasta(sample_fa)

# Write to custom directory
# write.df_to_fasta(sample_fa, output_dir = "/path/to/directory/")
