In mhahsler/rMSA: Interface for Popular Multiple Sequence Alignment Tools

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

Executes Clustal on a set of sequences to obtain a multiple sequence alignment.

1 2	clustal(x, param) clustal_help()

`x`	an object of class XStringSet (e.g., DNAStringSet) with the sequences to be aligned.
`param`	character string with the command line parameters for clustal (see output of `clustal_help()`).

The clustalw software has to be installed (see rMSA_INSTALL).

An object of class DNAMultipleAlignment (see BioStrings).
