[Bioc-sig-seq] making target from fasta file

[Joseph Dhahbi, P.h.D.]

Hi
I downloaded the drosophila RepeatMasker from UCSC GB as a 
text file which is in fasta format and looks like this:
>dm3_rmsk_NINJA_I range=chr4:2-434 5'pad=0 3'pad=0 strand=+ repeatMasking=none
AATTCGCGTCCGCTTA......
>dm3_rmsk_NINJA_LTR range=chr4:435-611 5'pad=0 3'pad=0 strand=+ repeatMasking=none
TGTCGCGGATC....
>dm3_rmsk_Baggins1 range=chr4:638-1723 5'pad=0 3'pad=0 strand=- repeatMasking=none
ATACGATGG......

I made the input dictionary and I would like to make the 
RepeatMasker sequences as the target.  When I used 
‘read.DNAStringSet’ it recognized only the first sequence 
of the fasts file.  Ho do I merge all of the sequences in 
and make them as a target.
Thank you for your help


Regards,
Joseph
