Paste sequences in string-like fashion

Source: R/paste.R

Joins multiple vectors of sequences into one vector.

# S3 method for sq
paste(..., NA_letter = getOption("tidysq_NA_letter"))

Arguments

...

[sq]
Sequences to paste together.

NA_letter

[character(1)]
A string that is used to interpret and display NA value in the context of sq class. Default value equals to "!".

Value

sq object of common type of input objects. Common type is determined in the same process as for c.sq().

Details

paste() joins sequences in the same way as it does with strings. All sq objects must have the same length, that is, contain the same number of sequences. An exception is made for scalar (length 1) sq objects, which are replicated instead.

Examples

# Creating objects to work on:
sq_dna_1 <- sq(c("TTCAGGGCTAG", "CGATTGC", "CAGTTTA"),
               alphabet = "dna_bsc")
sq_dna_2 <- sq(c("ATCTTGAAG", "CATATGCGCTA", "ACGTGTCGA"),
               alphabet = "dna_bsc")
sq_unt_1 <- sq(c("ATGCAGGA?", "TGACGAGCTTA", "", "TIAALGNIIYRAIE"))
sq_unt_2 <- sq(c("OVNU!!OK!!J", "GOK!MI!N!BB!", "DPOFIN!!", "??!?"))
