    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.

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

          Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
