readGeneInput {GeneRegionScan} | R Documentation

## Standardize reading of gene inputs

### Description

Internal function that will standardise the input of the many different form of sequences that can be used in Bioconductor.

### Usage

        readGeneInput(gene, genename=NULL)

### Arguments

`gene` |
`genename` |

### Details

This function is not meant to be run directly by the user. It will take a number of genes either as a vector of characters, a path to a FASTA format file, as a vector of DNAstrings or as a readFASTA format. It will then output them in FASTA format for use with other functions. Optional variable genename forces a new name.

The primary objective of this function is to make the sequence input simpler for other functions.

### Value

A list of all sequences and their names, in exactly the same format as obtained with the readFASTA function of the Biostrings package.
