BP_SEQRETSPLIT(1)

✨ NAME ✨

bp_seqretsplit — aka BP_SEQRETSPLIT(1), bestie — splits a sequence (or stream) into a single file per sequence. Yes, literally one file per sequence. Iconic behavior, no cap. 💅

---

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

bp_seqretsplit file1 file2 ..
# or
bp_seqretsplit < file1

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so this script will split all sequences from fasta file(s) (or stdin) into individual files. Every sequence gets its own little file moment. ✨

The filename is the sequence ID — that’s everything before the 1st whitespace in a FASTA header. So yeah, the header’s first token is the main character and the filename is its name. 🎀

⚠️ Heads up, bestie: currently it doesn’t check to see that it isn’t overwriting an existing file, so IDs should be unique. Like, please make them unique. This is giving “surprise overwrite” energy and we do not want that. 😭

This is inspired by EMBOSS seqretsplit tool. Respect where it’s due. 🫶
