Suggestions/ basic commands for begginers

[KGee]

Hello!
I'm looking to start learning R to manipulate fasta files. Unfortunately, I have zero experience in any other programming language, but I have some in Linux commands instead. Does anyone know any website/book that can help me to start learning? Initially, I would like to start practicing on how to open/edit/save fasta files and afterward to going deeper in R programming.

Hi @KGee and welcome to Rstudio community,

I never use fasta files before but there this package, I think, can help u to use fasta files: seqinR.

The doc about this package:

http://seqinr.r-forge.r-project.org/

specifically for fasta files : http://seqinr.r-forge.r-project.org/src/mainmatter/getseqflat.pdf

If u want to go deeper in R programming, I advice u to read this book:

R for Data Science

Hope it help,
Rodrigue

Happy to know. Can u well mark the solution like say here:

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] :information_s…

Have fun with R , it's a great language.
