Read a fasta file into a list and assign to the environment

This function reads a fasta file and creates a list with two columns: Header and Sequence. The list is then assigned to the environment with the name same as the fasta file name but without the .fasta extension.

Usage

read.fasta_to_list(fasta_file)

Arguments

fasta_file: The path to the fasta file to be read.

Value

This function does not return anything. It assigns the resulting list to the environment.

Examples


sample_file_path <- system.file("extdata", "sample_fa.fasta", package = "baseq")

read.fasta_to_list(sample_file_path)
#> File C:/Users/BSL CTCRI/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpYlDm86/temp_libpath49301e5117b7/baseq/extdata/sample_fa.fasta assigned as a list with name sample_fa

# Access a specific sequence by name
sample_fa[["sample_seq.1"]]
#> [1] "TGATTGAGGTGACAGTTTCTGAGTTAAACTGCAGATCGGAAGAGCACAC"
