## Validate amino acid sequences

### Description

`isValidAASeq` checks that a set of sequences are valid non-ambiguous amino acid sequences. A sequence is considered valid if it contains only characters in the the non-ambiguous IUPAC character set or any characters in `c("X", ".", "-", "*")`.

### Usage

    isValidAASeq(seq)

### Arguments

`seq` | character vector of sequences to check.

### Value

A logical vector with `TRUE` for each valid amino acid sequences and `FALSE` for each invalid sequence.

### See Also

See ABBREV_AA for the set of non-ambiguous amino acid characters. See IUPAC_AA for the full set of ambiguous amino acid characters.

### Examples

    seq <- c("CARDRSTPWRRGIASTTVRTSW", "XXTQMYVR--XX", "CARJ", "10")
