 \title{Base frequencies from DNA Sequences}
+\description{
+  \code{base.freq} computes the frequencies (absolute or relative) of
+  the four DNA bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymidine) from a
+  sample of sequences.
+
+  \code{Ftab} computes the contingency table with the absolute
+  frequencies of the DNA bases from a pair of sequences.
+}
 \usage{
 base.freq(x, freq = FALSE)
+Ftab(x, y = NULL)
 }
 \arguments{
   \item{x}{a vector, a matrix, or a list which contains the DNA
     sequences.}
+  \item{y}{a vector with a single DNA sequence.}
   \item{freq}{a logical specifying whether to return the proportions
     (the default) or the absolute frequencies (counts).}
 }
-\description{
-  This function computes the relative frequencies (i.e. proportions) of
-  the four DNA bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymidine) from a
-  sample of sequences.
-}
 \details{
   The base frequencies are computed over all sequences in the
   sample. All missing or unknown sites are discarded from the
   computations.
+
+  For \code{Ftab}, if the argument \code{y} is given then both \code{x}
+  and \code{y} are coerced as vectors and must be of equal length. If
+  \code{y} is not given, \code{x} must be a matrix or a list and only
+  the two first sequences are used.
 }
 \value{
-  A numeric vector storing the relative frequencies with names
-  \code{c("a", "c", "g", "t")}.
+  A numeric vector with names \code{c("a", "c", "g", "t")}, or a four by
+  four matrix with similar dimnames.
