readFASTA: Read DNA/RNA Sequences in FASTA Format

In wind22zhu/rDNAse: R package for generating various numerical representation schemes of DNA sequences.

Description

Read DNA/RNA Sequences in FASTA Format

Usage

readFASTA(file, legacy.mode = TRUE, seqonly = FALSE)

Arguments

file	The name of the file which the sequences in fasta format are to be read from. If it does not contain an absolute or relative path, the file name is relative to the current working directory, getwd. The default here is to read the example.fasta file which is present in the protseq directory of the protr package.
legacy.mode	If set to TRUE, lines starting with a semicolon ';' are ignored. Default value is TRUE.
seqonly	If set to TRUE, only sequences as returned without attempt to modify them or to get their names and annotations (execution time is divided approximately by a factor 3). Default value is FALSE.

Details
