check_identifiers() checks for differences between identifiers in metadata and DNA sequence files.

Usage

check_identifiers(data, identifier, dna)

an object of class tbl_df containing sequence metadata.

column in data which contains sequence identifiers.

a DNAbin object.

Details

check_identifiers() is a helper function to check for inconsistencies between identifiers in metadata and DNA sequences files, such as absence, mistyping, duplicated entries, or differences in size lengths. If any of these problems are found, warnings will appear in Console and corrections should be made to prevent unintended consequences later. A list containing erroneous identifiers is returned invisibly.
