Retrieves an aligned sequence via the Fish Tree of Life API. If neither 'species' nor 'rank' are specified, returns the entire sequence matrix.

Usage

fishtree_alignment(species, rank, split = FALSE)

Arguments

species	(Optionally) subset the results based on a vector of species names.
rank	(Optionally) subset the results based on the supplied taxonomic rank.
split	Splits the output into a list by gene locus.
