SEQSPLIT(1)

💖 SEQSPLIT — the manual page, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie, so this is the seqsplit(1) page from the General Commands Manual and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

seqsplit — split seqs into chunks of defined size and overlap 💅

like, it takes your seqs and cuts them into lil pieces. that's the whole vibe.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

seqsplit [-options] <seqfile>

that's it. that's the whole thing. one seqfile, some options, we go 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this manual page documents briefly the seqsplit command. yes, briefly, they said it, not me 😭

seqsplit is a program that splits sequences into smaller chunks of defined size and overlap; output a FASTA file. that's the assignment and it ate 💅✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h — Help; display usage and version. the "bestie what do I do" button 🫶
• -o <file> — Output the new FASTA file to <file>. this is where your glowed-up chunks go 💖
• --fragfile <f> — Save one-line-per-frag coord summary file to <f>. one line per frag. coord summary. very organized of you 👑
• --informat <s> — Specify sequence file format <s>. tell it what format you're feeding it so it doesn't have to guess 🌸
• --length <n> — Set max length of each unique seq frag to <n>. the max, bestie. the ceiling. 📏
• --overlap <n> — Set overlap length to <n> (total frag size = length+overlap). okay so heads up, the total frag size is literally length+overlap, do the math or don't, but it's there 🧮✨
• --shortnames — Use short "frag1" names, not "<src>/<from>-<to>". pick your naming aesthetic, both are valid 💅

😭 LIMITATIONS 😭

Still working in 32 bits -- no sequence can be more than 2 GB in size.

fr fr, this is the real one: it's still 32 bits, so no sequence can be more than 2 GB in size. don't come for me, come for the bits 💀
