# bp\_seqretsplit(1p)

split a sequence (or stream) into a single file per sequence

## NAME

bp\_seqretsplit - split a sequence (or stream) into a single file per sequence

## SYNOPSIS

```
  bp_seqretsplit file1 file2 ..
  # or
  bp_seqretsplit < file1
```

## DESCRIPTION

The script will split all sequences from fasta file(s) (or stdin) to individual files. The filename is the sequence ID (everything before the 1st whitespace in a FASTA header).  Currently it doesn't check to see that it isn't overwriting an existing file so IDs should be unique

This is inspired by EMBOSS seqretsplit tool.
