NAME
fastaq_chunker
DESCRIPTION
fastaq_chunker [options] <fasta/q in> <prefix of output files> <chunk size> <tolerance>
Splits a multi fasta/q file into separate files. Splits sequences into chunks of a fixed size. Aims for chunk_size chunks in each file, but allows a little extra, so chunk can be up to (chunk_size + tolerance), to prevent tiny chunks made from the ends of sequences
positional arguments:
- infile
-
Name of input fasta/q file to be split
- outprefix
-
Name of output fasta/q file
- chunk_size
-
Size of each chunk
- tolerance
-
Tolerance allowed in chunk size
optional arguments:
- -h, --help
-
show this help message and exit
- --skip_all_Ns
-
Do not output any sequence that consists of all Ns
