How to get basic info about the individual fastas

infoseq p2.fasta -length -only Display basic information about sequences Length 25 54 32 32 25

if you want to save the information -outfile name_of_file
can just do infoseq p2.fasta

How to split a multifasta into individual fastas I like to make a separate directory to hold the individual fastas but it is not necessary. mkdir -m 777 SPLIT_GENOME mv genome SPLIT_GENOME cd SPLIT_GENOME/ grep “>” genome -c 68

Fastest way is seqretsplit genome -auto

auto will turn off prompting for file names
.fasta will be added to the name of each individual fasta file

which is derived from the header

will make the name of the file lower case
1. the header remains the same
will make the lines 60 characters wide
little control over names of individual files

How to do an amino acid translation of a multifasta

transeq
	-will simply translate the sequences and insert * for stops
	-can change *s to Xs
		-clean
	-can translate different frames
		-frame 1 is default
			-frame 1
			-frame 2
			-frame 3
			-frame F
			-frame -1
			-frame -2
			-frame -3
			-frame R
			-frame 6 
	-can use different genetic codes
		-table 0 (standard and default)
		-table  2 (Vertebrate mitochondrial)
		-table 11 (Bacterial)
	-can designate a range or region otherwise entire thing
		-regions 24-100

output is sequence-name_frame-number

How to do multiple fastas? mkdir -m 777 SPLIT cp p11 SPLIT cd SPLIT seqretsplit p11 -auto

generates individual fastas

ls *fasta > list

if necessary remove the multifasta file name from list

for i in `cat list`; do sixpack -sequence $i -outfile $i.stuff -outseq $i.prot; done

can collect all the outputs together if you want cat *prot >alloutputs

Want to extract just myfav2 and sequence47

Make a list with the sequences you want like this Name_of_multifastafile:name_of_individual_file1 Name_of_multifastafile:name_of_individual_file1

SO, more filestoget p2.fasta:myfav2 p2.fasta:sequence47

Then seqret @filestoget -outseq myfavouritefiles -auto

more myfavouritefiles

>myfav2
AGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAG
>sequence47 bluhbluhbluh

If there is a common and unique string to the header ids you can use that

seqret p2.fasta:my* -outseq yup -auto
