This function reads an organism specific genome stored in a defined file format.
read_genome(file, format = "fasta", obj.type = "Biostrings", ...)a character string specifying the path to the file storing the genome.
a character string specifying the file format used to store
the genome, e.g. format = "fasta" (default) or format = "gbk".
a character string specifying the object stype in which
the genomic sequence shall be represented. Either as
obj.type = "Biostrings" (default) or
as obj.type = "data.table".
additional arguments that are used by the
read.fasta function.
Either a Biostrings or data.table object.
This function takes a string specifying the path to the genome file
of interest as first argument (e.g. the path returned by
getGenome).
