    Split long fasta seq into smaller seqs by removing 'n'

    Hello,

    My fasta file has a long consensus sequence (gigabases long) that is padded with 'n' between the actual sequences. Like this:

    actgggacnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnactgacgtggattgc
    aatnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnaccaattggatagagaccnnn

    I've searched rather intensively to see if the internet can solve my problem. Not really, though they were close. For example, people report splitting the long sequence into smaller files but I do not want that. I want the n removed and have all sequences in the same file. Better yet, with the start and end of the sequences.

    Desired output (>seqname_start_end) :
    >seq1_1_8
    actgggac

    >seq2_35_52
    actgacgtggattgcaat

    >seq3_68_85
    accaattggatagagacc

    If anyone could point me towards a right tool (bioperl, etc) or give me a pseudo-code in perl, I would appreciate it.

    Thanks.

      Great! Thanks a lot! Worked flawlessly.

      It doesn't get me the start/end of the base positions but that I can live with.

        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
