BP_DBSPLIT(1p)

💖 BP_DBSPLIT(1p) — bestie's guide to splitting ur databases 💖

okay so. this is bp_dbsplit, a lil script from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world, and it's literally here to help u take one big ol' pile of sequences and chop it into cute lil baby files. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

bp_dbsplit — a script to split an input set of database(s) into smaller pieces 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea, bestie ☕ — this script takes as input a list of filenames, or a single file, or data coming in from STDIN (a sequence database, obvi), and it splits that database into separate files of X numbers of sequences. u tell it what X is with the --size/-s parameter. iconic behavior honestly.

the input and output sequence format can be any that is supported by bioperl — think fasta, embl, genbank, gcg, swissprot, etc. so many vibes. 🌈

u 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

and bestie, u are absolutely going to want to use the --prefix to specify what the output prefix will be. don't skip that part fr fr. 🎀
