muscle: Multiple Sequence Alignment

In muscle: Multiple Sequence Alignment with MUSCLE

Description

MUSCLE performs multiple sequence alignments of nucleotide or amino acid sequences.

Usage

muscle(stringset, quiet = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

stringset	An object of class XStringSet: DNAStringSet, RNAStringSet, or AAStringSet.
quiet	Logical, whether to prevent printing of the progress of the algorithm to the screen. Defaults to FALSE.
...	Arguments (options and flags) for the MUSCLE algorithm (see Details).

Details

Arguments for the MUSCLE algorithm are either options or flags. Options take a variety of values, but flags are always logicals (TRUE or FALSE). All options and flags are explained in detail on the MUSCLE website: http://www.drive5.com/muscle/muscle_userguide3.8.html

Value

Output is an object of class MultipleAlignment: DNAMultipleAlignment, RNAMultipleAlignment, or AAMultipleAlignment.
