This function reads an organism specific RNA stored in a defined file format.
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) orformat = "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 asobj.type = "data.table"
.- ...
additional arguments that are used by
read.fasta
.
Value
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.
