    Adding count number at the end of header in a fasta file

    Hi there. I would like to add count number at the end of the head, from this:

    >ECOLI
    ACTGCGTAGTCGTACTATGCAACACACGTGTGTATGCT
    >ECOLI
    ACGTTAGTTTCGCGTAGTCGTATGCTACGATCGTAGCA
    >ECOLI
    ACGTGTGCAACCTGCACTGTGCTAGCACGACACAACGTG
    .
    .
    .
    >ECOLI
    ATGTGTACGTAGCTAGCTAGCATCGATCTGCTAGCATGC
    >ECOLI
    GTCGATGCTGCTCGATCGATCGATCGTACGATCGATGATC
    become this:

    >ECOLI|00000001
    ACTGCGTAGTCGTACTATGCAACACACGTGTGTATGCT
    >ECOLI|00000002
    ACGTTAGTTTCGCGTAGTCGTATGCTACGATCGTAGCA
    >ECOLI|00000003
    ACGTGTGCAACCTGCACTGTGCTAGCACGACACAACGTG
    .
    .
    .
    >ECOLI|00000099
    ATGTGTACGTAGCTAGCTAGCATCGATCTGCTAGCATGC
    >ECOLI|00000199
    GTCGATGCTGCTCGATCGATCGATCGTACGATCGATGATC

    Can anyone guide me how to add the count number like the above?

    Thank you very much.

    You could use bioawk for this:

    Code:
    bioawk -c fastx '{print ">" $name sprintf("|%05d", NR) "\n" $seq}' test.fa
    
    >ECOLI|00001
    ACTGCGTAGTCGTACTATGCAACACACGTGTGTATGCT
    >ECOLI|00002
    ACGTTAGTTTCGCGTAGTCGTATGCTACGATCGTAGCA
    >ECOLI|00003
    ACGTGTGCAACCTGCACTGTGCTAGCACGACACAACGTG
    ...

      Code:
      perl -i.bak -pe 'BEGIN{$N="00000001"}next unless /^>/;s/(>\S+)/$1|$N/;$N++' t.fa
      Changes the sequences in t.fa from:

      >ECOLI
      ACTGCGTAGTCGTACTATGCAACACACGTGTGTATGCT
      >ECOLI
      ACGTTAGTTTCGCGTAGTCGTATGCTACGATCGTAGCA
      >ECOLI
      ACGTGTGCAACCTGCACTGTGCTAGCACGACACAACGTG


      to

      >ECOLI|00000001
      ACTGCGTAGTCGTACTATGCAACACACGTGTGTATGCT
      >ECOLI|00000002
      ACGTTAGTTTCGCGTAGTCGTATGCTACGATCGTAGCA
      >ECOLI|00000003
      ACGTGTGCAACCTGCACTGTGCTAGCACGACACAACGTG


      It also makes a handy back up file saved as "t.fa.bak" just in case you regret the modifications you've made to the original file.

          Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
          by SEQadmin2


          Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

          The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

          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...
