clone.Sequence: Clone a Sequence object

In phylosim: Flexible Simulations of Biological Sequence Evolution

Description

Clone a Sequence object.

The cloning of Sequence objects involves the cloning of all aggregated Site objects. Because of that the cloning of long sequences is quite expensive. The cloned Site objects have the orginal Site objects as ancestral. The new Sequence objects has the original object as ancestral.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'Sequence'
clone(this, ...)

Arguments

this	A Sequence object.
...	Not used.

Value

A Sequence object.

Examples

	# cretate a nucleotide sequence
	s<-NucleotideSequence(string="ATG")
	# clone the sequence
	cs<-clone(s)
	# get some properties
	equals(s,s)
	equals(s,cs)
	cs$ancestral
	cs$sites[[1]]$ancestral
