Tr "()\n" "()*" /Desktop/masters_repeats/anolis_repeatfamily_3way_total_oneline. Fasta¶ The fasta format is based on a simple text. Alternatively we can use the sffextract tool to obtain a fasta file. Roche provides one executable able to do it with the 454 machine. Skipping earlier records is often useful because the first sequences in a fastq file may have lower than average read quality. #i have to make all the entries one line, so i replaced the newline with a * There are several tools to extract the sequences and to convert them to a more usable format. this will export 10 results after skipping the first 1000 records, then place the results into the file test.txt. The transcripts.txt file contains the list transcripts IDs that I want to export (both the IDs and the sequences) from assembly.fasta to selectedtranscripts.fasta. #concatenate all the files from all 3 species into one sub-subfamily specific fileĬat species1.fasta species2.fasta species3.fasta > /Desktop/masters_repeats/anolis_repeatfamily_3way_total.fasta I want to extract specific fasta sequences from a big fasta file using the following script, but the output is empty. I had to do some Googling to find the appropriate bash commands, to process the fasta files from the terminal command line.ġ) cat - concatenated all the files into 1 large fileĢ) I want to sort by line size, but if you do it with a normal fasta file, the header is read as a different line than the sequence body (so it'll delete all the sequences under 250 INCLUDING the fasta headers, which have all the information I need!) Therefore, I had to remove all newlines \n and put in a * so the header and sequence all are read as one long line.ģ) Next I used awk to sort based on size and I removed all sequences that are less than 250 base pairs.Ĥ) Put the fasta format back the way it was before I sorted based on size. One challenge I face is moving the data around and formatting it properly.
All 3 of these genomes are Illumina Next-Gen.
I am doing a 3 way comparison of repeat elements in 3 species of anole lizards.
