tidysq
contains tools for analysis and manipulation of biological sequences (including amino acid and nucleic acid – e.g. RNA, DNA – sequences). Two major features of this package are:
effective compression of sequence data, allowing to fit larger datasets in R,
compatibility with most of tidyverse
universe, especially dplyr
and vctrs
packages, making analyses tidier.

The easiest way to install tidysq
package is to download its latest version from CRAN repository:
install.packages("tidysq")
Alternatively, it is possible to download the development version directly from GitHub repository:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("BioGenies/tidysq")
file <- system.file("examples", "example_aa.fasta", package = "tidysq")
sqibble <- read_fasta(file)

An example of dplyr
integration:
library(dplyr)
# tidysq integrates well with dplyr verbs
sqibble %>%
filter(sq %has% "VFF") %>%
mutate(length = get_sq_lengths(sq))
