split_dat {phylotools}

grouping the data frame containing sequences and names and generate fasta file

Description

Splite the data frame of sequences based on the reference table of grouping.

Usage

split_dat(dat, ref_table)

Arguments

dat

data frame generated by read.phylip or read.fasta

ref_table

data frame with first column for the name of the sequence, second column for the group the sequence belongs to.

Details

Each group of sequences will be saved to a fasta file. Sequences not included in the ref_table will be saved in "Ungrouped.fasta"

Value

This is a subroutine, there is no return value.
