Examples

## define two cds sequences
cds1 <- Biostrings::DNAString("ATGCAACATTGC")
cds2 <- Biostrings::DNAString("ATG---CATTGC")
cds1.cds2.aln <- c(Biostrings::DNAStringSet(cds1),
    Biostrings::DNAStringSet(cds2))
## convert into alignment
#dnastring2aln(cds1.cds2.aln)
cds1.cds2.aln |> dnastring2aln()
#> $nb
#> [1] 2
#> 
#> $nam
#> NULL
#> 
#> $seq
#> [1] "atgcaacattgc" "atg---cattgc"
#> 
#> $com
#> [1] NA
