msaR is a an htmlwidgets wrapper of the BioJS MSA viewer javascript library. msa will pass alignments to the BioJS MSA and has a convenience function that will handle the following formats:
- A character string which is interpreted to be a fasta file (opened by
ape::read.dna) - A DNAbin class object (ape)
- An XStringSet (Biostrings) including "DNAStringSet", "RNAStringSet", "AAStringSet", and "BStringSet"
- An XMultiple Alignment (Biostings) including "DNAMultipleAlignment","RNAMultipleAlignment", and"AAMultipleAlignment"
Any of these types of objects can be passed to msaR to create an html widget. See the online docs for an interactive version of this widget.
You can install msaR from github with:
install.packages("msaR")This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
library(msaR)
# read some sequences from a multiple sequence alignment file and display
seqfile <- system.file("sequences","AHBA.aln", package="msaR")
msaR(seqfile)
