| read_assembly {bioseq.fasta} | R Documentation |
read_assembly(file);unlike the read.fasta api, this function reads the whole genome sequence in a chunked manner: the sequence data of each chromosome is stored as a ChunkedNtFasta object, so that we can slice a sequence region from a huge chromosome sequence in a memory efficient manner via the slicer api.
a named list of the ChunkedNtFasta chunk sequence object, the name of the list element is the fasta title of the corresponding chromosome or contigs sequence.
this function returns a R# error message object if the given file can not be opened for read.
