NAME¶
fasta_formatter - changes the width of sequences line in a FASTA file
DESCRIPTION¶
usage: fasta_formatter [-h] [-i INFILE] [-o OUTFILE] [-w N] [-t] [-e] Part of
FASTX Toolkit 0.0.13.2 by gordon@cshl.edu
- [-h]
- = This helpful help screen.
- [-i INFILE]
- = FASTA/Q input file. default is STDIN.
- [-o OUTFILE] = FASTA/Q output file. default is STDOUT. [-w
N] = max. sequence line width for output FASTA file.
- When ZERO (the default), sequence lines will NOT be wrapped
- all nucleotides of each sequences will appear on a single line (good for
scripting).
- [-t]
- = Output tabulated format (instead of FASTA format).
- Sequence-Identifiers will be on first column, Nucleotides
will appear on second column (as single line).
- [-e]
- = Output empty sequences (default is to discard them).
- Empty sequences are ones who have only a sequence
identifier, but not actual nucleotides.
- >MY-ID AAAAAGGGGG CCCCCTTTTT AGCTN
Output example with unlimited line width [-w 0]:¶
- >MY-ID AAAAAGGGGGCCCCCTTTTTAGCTN
Output example with max. line width=7 [-w 7]:¶
- >MY-ID AAAAAGG GGGTTTT TCCCCCA GCTN
Output example with tabular output [-t]:¶
- MY-ID
- AAAAAGGGGGCCCCCTTTTAGCTN
example of empty sequence: (will be discarded unless [-e] is used)
- >REGULAR-SEQUENCE-1 AAAGGGTTTCCC >EMPTY-SEQUENCE
>REGULAR-SEQUENCE-2 AAGTAGTAGTAGTAGT GTATTTTATAT
