\name{rDNAbin}
\alias{rDNAbin}
\title{Random DNA Sequences}
\description{
This function generates random sets of DNA sequences.
}
\usage{
rDNAbin(n, nrow, ncol, base.freq = rep(0.25, 4), prefix = "Ind_")
}
\arguments{
\item{n}{a vector of integers giving the lengths of the sequences. Can
be missing in which case \code{nrow} and \code{ncol} must be given.}
\item{nrow, ncol}{two single integer values giving the number of
sequences and the number of sites, respectively (ignored if \code{n}
is given).}
\item{base.freq}{the base frequencies.}
\item{prefix}{the prefix used to give labels to the sequences; by
default these are Ind_1, \dots Ind_n (or Ind_nrow).}
}
\details{
If \code{n} is used, this function generates a list with sequence lengths given by the values in \code{n}. If \code{n} is missing, a matrix is
generated.
The purpose of this function is to generate a set of sequences of a
specific size. To simulate sequences on a phylogenetic tree, see
\code{\link[phangorn]{simSeq}} in \pkg{phangorn} (very efficient), and
the package \pkg{phylosim} (more for pedagogy).
}
\value{
an object of class \code{"DNAbin"}.
}
\note{
It is not recommended to use this function to generate objects larger
than two billion bases (2 Gb).
