isValidAASeq - Validate amino acid sequences

Description¶

isValidAASeq checks that a set of sequences are valid non-ambiguous amino acid sequences. A sequence is considered valid if it contains only characters in the the non-ambiguous IUPAC character set or any characters in c("X", ".", "-", "*").

Usage¶

isValidAASeq(seq)

Arguments¶

seq

character vector of sequences to check.

Value¶

A logical vector with TRUE for each valid amino acid sequences and FALSE for each invalid sequence.

Examples¶

seq <- c("CARDRSTPWRRGIASTTVRTSW", "XXTQMYVR--XX", "CARJ", "10") 
isValidAASeq(seq)

[1]  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE
