    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.

        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

        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.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
