\title{Create metadata table for sequences}
\usage{
create_meta(fastafile, N_filter)
}
\arguments{
\item{fastafile}{List. A list of DNA sequences read by seqinr::read.fasta()}

\item{N_filter}{Integer. N filter threshold (for reference in output)}
}
\value{
data.frame. A data frame with columns: name, length, GC_content,
  N_content
}
\description{
Extracts and compiles metadata including sequence length, GC content, and
N content from FASTA sequences.
}
\details{
This function provides useful summary statistics for quality control and
understanding sequence characteristics before phylogenetic analysis.

\examples{
# Create test sequences
test_seqs <- list(
    seq1 = "ATCGATCGATCG",
    seq2 = "GCTAGCTAGCTA",
    seq3 = "AAAATTTTCCCCGGGG"
)

# Get metadata
meta <- create_meta(test_seqs, N_filter = 50)
print(meta)
