    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.

        The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2





        NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
