‘R’ = dna.translate("AGG") . A custom C function for R, My notebook.
In the following post, I will show how I've implemented a custom C function for R. This C function will translate a DNA to a protein. I'm very new to 'R' so feel free to make any comment about the code.C codeThe data in 'R' are stored in an opaque stru...
