Basic package used to parse a file in the Fasta format
It provides basic functionality such as:
- Quick sequence retrieval
- Get number of sequences in the file
- Print out the sequence ids
In the future, I plan to add new features to this package
'cd' to the directory containing the package's source and type:
make
You will see the differenct executable files in the ./bin directory
Before using getseq with a Fasta file you need to index it by doing:
makeix <input.fa>
Then, you can use getseq to fetch a particular sequence:
getseq <input.fa> <seqid>
Program to print out the ids in <input.fa>
Program to print out the number of sequences in <input.fa>
