import_proteome: Import protein sequences from a 'fasta' file
In drostlab/homologr: Homology inference across multiple species

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

This function reads an organism specific proteome stored in a defined file format.

1	import_proteome(file, format, ...)

`file`	a character string specifying the path to the file storing the proteome.
`format`	a character string specifying the file format used to store the proteome, e.g. "fasta", "fastq".
`...`	additional arguments that are used by the `readAAStringSet` function.

The read.proteome function takes a string specifying the path to the proteome file of interest as first argument.

It is possible to read in different proteome file standards such as fasta or fastq.

Proteomes stored in fasta files can be downloaded from http://www.ebi.ac.uk/reference_proteomes.

A data.table storing the gene id in the first column and the corresponding sequence as string in the second column.
