Hi

Please help me to convert the DNA sequences of a "DNAStrinset" object to the list of DNA sequences.

Here is the description below:

Input:

> s1
  A DNAStringSet instance of length 5
    width seq
[1]     7 AGGCTCT
[2]     6 AGGTCT
[3]     7 AGGGTGT
[4]     7 AGGCTCT
[5]     7 TTCGGTA

I need following output in the form of list of sequences:

[[1]]
[1] "AGGCTCT"

[[2]]
[1] "AGGTCT"

[[3]]
[1] "AGGGTGT"

[[4]]
[1] "AGGCTCT"

[[5]]
[1] "TTCGGTA"

Thanks

as.list(as.character(s1)), but a very important question is why would you want to move from an efficient and compact representation to an inefficient one?

Try:

lapply(1:length(s1), function(i) data.frame(s1)[i,1] )
