    convert a text file in fasta with decollpasing

    Hi all,

    I have this file:

    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTT 424866
    TAGCTTATCAGACTGATGTTGA 359141
    TAGCTTATCAGACTGATGTTGAC 276052
    TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTATAGTT 268735
    ACAGTAGTCTGCACATTGGTT 209280
    ACAGTAGTCTGCACATTGGTTA 178652
    TAGCTTATCAGACTGATGTTG 166159
    TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTGTGGTT 105275
    TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTATGGTT 102447
    AGCAGCATTGTACAGGGCTATGA 91296
    TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTGTGGTTT 63300
    TGAGGTAGTAGTTTGTACAGTT 61604
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGT 61492
    TAGCACCATCTGAAATCGGTTA 60637
    TTCAAGTAATCCAGGATAGGCT 52300
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTTA 50905
    TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTATAGT 48150
    TACAGTAGTCTGCACATTGGTT 47534
    TCTACAGTCCGACGATC 45803
    ................

    They are sequences and the numbers are the respective occurrences. I would like to convert that file in a fasta format, decollapsing the sequences and giving a name like that:

    >Sample1_0
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTT
    >Sample1_1
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTT
    >Sample1_2
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTT
    .....
    for 424866 times.
    >Sample1_424666
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTT

    then
    >Sample1_424667
    TAGCTTATCAGACTGATGTTGA (the second sequences)

    The same for the other sequences in series. Is there any scripts for that purpose?

    Thanks in advance,
    Giorgio

    Code:
    awk '{for(i=0;i<=($2-1);i++) print ">Sample"NR"_"i"\n"$1}' file.txt
    This might work!

        This can also be done with Biopieces (www.biopieces.org):

        Code:
        read_tab -i in.tab -k SEQ,COUNT | duplicate_record -k COUNT | add_ident -k SEQ_NAME -p Sample1_ | write_fasta -x

          Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
          by SEQadmin2



          Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

          Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
          by SEQadmin2



          Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

          There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

          Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by GATTACAT
          Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
