read_rna: Import RNA as Biostrings or data.table object
Description
This function reads an organism specific RNA stored in a
defined file format.
Usage
read_rna(file, format = "fasta", obj.type = "Biostrings", ...)
Arguments
file
a character string specifying the path to the file
storing the RNA.
format
a character string specifying the file format used to store the
genome, e.g. format = "fasta" (default) or format = "gbk".
obj.type
a character string specifying the object stype in which the
genomic sequence shall be represented.
Either as obj.type = "Biostrings" (default) or
as obj.type = "data.table".
A data.table storing the gene id in the first column and the
corresponding sequence as string in the second column.
Details
This function takes a string specifying the path to the RNA file
of interest as first argument. It is possible to read in different proteome
file standards such as fasta or genebank.
