# RSeqAn SeqAn Headers for R [](https://travis-ci.org/compbiocore/RSeqAn) [](https://codecov.io/gh/compbiocore/RSeqAn) [](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause) ## Overview This package provides R with access to [SeqAn v2.4](http://www.seqan.de/) header files. SeqAn is an open source C++ library of efficient algorithms and data structures for the analysis of sequences with the focus on biological data. ## Usage RSeqAn can be used via the `LinkingTo:` field in the `DESCRIPTION` field of an R package. Note that the compiler will need to compile as C++14. This can be done in R as `Sys.setenv("PKG_CXXFLAGS"="-std=c++14")`. ## Installation We recommend installing the release version [through Bioconductor](https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/RSeqAn.html). Instructions are provided on their page. If you have `devtools`, then the development version can be installed from here by running: ```r devtools::install_github("compbiocore/RSeqAn") ``` This version contains `Rcpp::as` and `Rcpp::wrap` functions for `CharString`. ## Author August Guang ## Release history See [`NEWS`](/inst/NEWS) for release history. ## Citation To cite this package from within R, enter `citation("RSeqAn")`.
