RDP-READSEQ(1)

💖 RDP-READSEQ 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to rdp-readseq from the User Commands corner of your manual — this is the one that reads and writes sequences for the Ribosomal Database Project (RDP). yes, that RDP. the sequence girlies. 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

rdp-readseq — Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) sequence reading and writing 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

rdp-readseq <subcommand> <subcommand args ...>

like, subcommand first, then whatever that subcommand wants. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so rdp-readseq is literally just a simple user interface sitting on top of the sequence reading library that the Ribosomal Database Project built. no cap.

it can handle all these formats, and when we say handle we mean it:

• genbank
• embl
• fasta
• fastq
• sff
• sto

and it can read them from files or from streams — both ways, she's flexible like that — and it can also handle indexing files. iconic behaviour tbh. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's the list of subcommands, aka the whole menu, aka your main characters. 🎀

• random-sample — random select a subset or subregion of sequences. yes, just grab a lil random slice of the sequence pile. 🍓
• reverse-comp — reverse complement sequences. flip it and complement it, that's the whole job. 🔄
• rm-dupseq — remove identical or substring of sequences. duplicates and substrings, consider yourselves evicted. 💀
• select-seqs — select or deselect sequences from a file. picking your faves (or un-picking them). ✅
• split — split sequences. one becomes many. 💫
• to-fasta — convert to fasta format. glow-up into fasta. 🌱
• to-fastq — convert to fastq format. glow-up into fastq. 💖
• to-stk — convert to stk format. glow-up into stk. 🧚

lowkey a reminder bestie: every one of these subcommands has its own args, and they show up after the subcommand name. don't @ me, that's just the synopsis. 🙈

and that's the whole page, fr fr. this was the RDP Library edition, dated March 2015 — so if you're reading this in the future, hi, she's vintage, she's still slaying. 💜 bye bestie, go read some sequences 🦋
