\<short\_description\>

## NAME

pullseq - \<short\_description\>

## DESCRIPTION

pullseq - a bioinformatics tool for manipulating fasta and fastq files

Version: 1.0.2              Name lookup method: UTHASH (Written by bct - copyright 2012-2015)

### Usage:

-

  pullseq **-i** \<input fasta/fastq file\> **-n** \<header names to select\>

-

  pullseq **-i** \<input fasta/fastq file\> **-m** \<minimum sequence length\>

-

  pullseq **-i** \<input fasta/fastq file\> **-g** \<regex name to match\>

-

  pullseq **-i** \<input fasta/fastq file\> **-m** \<minimum sequence length\> **-a** \<max sequence length\>

-

  pullseq **-i** \<input fasta/fastq file\> **-t**

-

  cat \<names to select from STDIN\> \| pullseq **-i** \<input fasta/fastq file\> **-N**

-

  Options:

- **-i**, **--input**,

  Input fasta/fastq file (required)

- **-n**, **--names**,

  File of header id names to search for

**-N**, **--names\_stdin**, Use STDIN for header id names

- **-g**, **--regex**,

  Regular expression to match (PERL compatible; always case-insensitive)

- **-m**, **--min**,

  Minimum sequence length

- **-a**, **--max**,

  Maximum sequence length

- **-l**, **--length**,

  Sequence characters per line (default 50)

- **-c**, **--convert**,

  Convert input to fastq/fasta (e.g. if input is fastq, output will be fasta)

- **-q**, **--quality**,

  ASCII code to use for fasta-\>fastq quality conversions

- **-e**, **--excluded**,

  Exclude the header id names in the list (**-n**)

- **-t**, **--count**,

  Just count the possible output, but don't write it

- **-h**, **--help**,

  Display this help and exit

- **-v**, **--verbose**,

  Print extra details during the run

- **--version**,

  Output version information and exit
