rfamCovarianceModel {rfaRm} | R Documentation |
Gets the covariance model generated with the Infernal software of the Rfam family. Covariance models can be used in Infernal to search through a list of sequences for high-scoring hits to the models. If a filename is provided, the covariance model will be saved to the specified path.
rfamCovarianceModel(rfamFamily, filename=NULL)
rfamFamily |
string with an Rfam family accession or ID for which the covariance model should be retrieved. |
filename |
string indicating a path to which the covariance model should be written. In the default behaviour, filename=NULL, the covariance model will not be saved into any file, and instead will only be returned as a string. |
A string with the covariance model of the Rfam family in the Infernal format. If a filename is provided, the covariance model file will also be written to the specified path.
