BP_DBSPLIT(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the BP_DBSPLIT(1) manual page — yes, the User Contributed Perl Documentation one. This is all about bp_dbsplit, the script to split an input set of database(s) into smaller pieces. iconic behavior, no cap. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

  bp_dbsplit.PLS --size 50 [-i inputfile] [-if inputformat] [-of outputformat]
              [--prefix outputprefix] [ < file1 file 2  OR file1 file2]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Bestie, here's the whole vibe: the script grabs a list of filenames, or a single file, or a sequence database from STDIN, and splits that database into separate files of X numbers of sequences. You specify X with the --size/-s parameter. 🔥

The input and output sequence format is any that is supported by bioperl (fasta,embl,genbank,gcg, swissprot, etc). slay, format freedom. ✨

You can specify the input data either as a single file with -i filename, or as a single file as an argument like

% bp_dbsplit file1 file2

or as a list of sequence data with

% cat file1 file2 file3 | bp_dbsplit

You'll want to use the --prefix to specify what the output prefix will be. 🎀

Quick flag roll call from the synopsis, because we keep every single one:

• --size / -s — the X number of sequences per split file (the synopsis example uses 50).
• -i — the inputfile slot.
• -if — the inputformat slot.
• -of — the outputformat slot.
• --prefix — the outputprefix slot, aka the output prefix you'll want to set.
