Extracting sequences from any .FASTA file using any TEXT file

Patrick Douglas edited this page Oct 14, 2017 · 1 revision

This option allows you to extract sequences from any .FASTA file just using a text file containing a list with the IDs of the target sequences. The ID of each sequence must be in a different line and begin with a > simbol.

Example:

>name_of_the_sequence01
>name_of_the_sequence02
>name_of_the_sequence03

1. Type the name of the .FASTA file that you want to use. Here is your query sequences.

Example:

todos_um.fasta

2. Enter the name of the text file containing the IDs of the sequences that you want to extract.

Example:

list_of_ids.txt

The .FASTA file with only the sequences indicated by the text file will be stored in the same directory you are working. It will be named as bellow:

name_of_text_file.name_of_the_input_fasta_file.extracted_seqs.fasta
