make the defline of FASTA output more consistent

gpertea opened this issue · comments

Currently the output is as follows:
>transcriptID CDS=value feature1=value;feature1=value;

However, this is problematic for parsing since space is used to separate CDS whereas semicolon is used to separate the other features. It would be great to be consistent and only use ; for all the features. Only one space is needed to separate the recordID and the description:
>transcriptID CDS=value;feature1=value;feature1=value;
