man fastatool (1): Provides a set of tools useful when working with FASTA files.

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of the MIRA assembler package. Fastatool provides a set of tools useful when working with FASTA trace files.

Please check out the documentation below for more detailed information.

fastatool <toolname> <tool parameters>

clip: Clips bases on the left and right of a FASTA sequence, writes result to STDOUT.
: Usage:
clipFASTA -l leftclip -r rightclip fastainfile
sanitize: Deletes sequences with non-IUPAC bases or empty sequences from a FASTA file, writes the 'surviving' sequences to a new file. If a quality file is given, a cleaned version of that is also written. The sequences in the quality files (if given) MUST be in the same order than in the fasta file.
: Usage:
sanitizeFASTA fastainfile fastaoutfile [fastaqualin fastaqualoutfile]
