Description¶

readIgFasta reads a fasta-formatted file of immunoglobulin (Ig) sequences and returns a named vector of those sequences.

Usage¶

readIgFasta(fasta_file, strip_down_name = TRUE, force_caps = TRUE)

Arguments¶

fasta_file

fasta-formatted file of immunoglobuling sequences.

strip_down_name

if TRUE, will extract only the allele name from the strings fasta file’s sequence names.

force_caps

if TRUE, will force nucleotides to uppercase.

Value¶

Named vector of strings respresenting Ig alleles.

### Not run:
# germlines <- readIgFasta("ighv.fasta")
