\title{Delete Alignment Gaps in DNA or AA Sequences}
\description{
These functions remove gaps (\code{"-"}) in a sample of DNA sequences.
}
\usage{
del.gaps(x)
del.colgapsonly(x, threshold = 1, freq.only = FALSE)
del.rowgapsonly(x, threshold = 1, freq.only = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a matrix, a list, or a vector containing the DNA or AA
sequences; only matrices for \code{del.colgapsonly} and for
\code{del.rowgapsonly}.}
\item{threshold}{the largest gap proportion to delete the column or row.}
\item{freq.only}{if \code{TRUE}, returns only the numbers of gaps for
each column or row.}
}
\details{
\code{del.gaps} remove all gaps, so the returned sequences may not
have all the same lengths and are therefore returned in a list.
\code{del.colgapsonly} removes the columns with a proportion at least
\code{threshold} of gaps. Thus by default, only the columns with gaps
only are removed (useful when a small matrix is extracted from a large
alignment). \code{del.rowgapsonly} does the same for the rows.
The class of the input sequences is respected and kept unchanged,
unless it contains neither \code{"DNAbin"} nor \code{"AAbin"} in which
case the object is first converted into the class \code{"DNAbin"}.
}
\value{
\code{del.gaps} returns a vector (if there is only one input sequence)
or a list of sequences; \code{del.colgapsonly} and
\code{del.rowgapsonly} return a matrix of sequences or a numeric
vector (with names for the second function) if \code{freq.only =
TRUE}.
