fakit - FASTA kit

Documents : http://shenwei356.github.io/fakit

Source code: https://github.com/shenwei356/fakit

Features

• Cross-platform (Linux/Windows/Mac OS X/OpenBSD/FreeBSD, see download)
• Out-of-the-box, no dependencies, without compilation, light weight see download)
• Fast (see benchmark)
• Practical functions (see subcommands and examples )
• Support STDIN and gziped input/output file, could be used in pipe
• Support custom sequence ID regular expression (especially useful for quering with ID list)
• Reproducible results (configurable rand seed in sample and shuffle)

Subcommands

Basic

• seq transform sequence (revserse, complement, extract ID...)
• subseq get subsequence by region
• stat simple statistics of FASTA files

Format convert

• fa2tab covert FASTA to tabular format, and provide various information
• tab2fa covert tabular format to FASTA format

More

• extract extract sequences by pattern(s) of name or sequence motifs
• common find common sequences of multiple files by id/name/sequence
• rmdup remove duplicated sequences by id/name/sequence
• split split sequences into files by id/seq region/size/parts
• sample sample sequences by number or proportion
• shuffle shuffle sequences
• locate locate subsequences/motifs
• sliding sliding sequences, circle genome supported

Global Flags

-c, --chunk-size int     chunk size (attention: unit is FASTA records not lines) (default 1000)
    --id-regexp string   regular expression for parsing ID (default "^([^\\s]+)\\s?")
-w, --line-width int     line width (0 for no wrap) (default 60)
-o, --out-file string    out file ("-" for stdout, suffix .gz for gzipped out) (default "-")
    --quiet              be quiet and do not show extra information
-t, --seq-type string    sequence type (dna|rna|protein|unlimit|auto) (for auto, it automatically detect by the first sequence) (default "auto")
-j, --threads int        number of CPUs (default value depends on your device) (default 4)
