bioseq: A Toolbox for Manipulating Biological Sequences in R

The purpose of bioseq is to provide a collection of classes and functions for biological sequence manipulation in R. The package provides simple S3 classes for sequences that are suitable for inclusion in a data frame and that can be analysed using the dplyr grammar and other tidyverse tools.

Installation

You can install the development version of bioseq from GitHub with:

remotes::install_github("fkeck/bioseq")

Tutorials

There are two vignettes available to get started with the package:

• Introduction to the bioseq package
• Cleaning and exploring NCBI data with the bioseq package
