obidistribute - description of obidistribute

obidistribute distributes equitably a set of sequence records over several files (No sequence records are printed on standard output).

The number of files is set using the -n option (required). File names are build with a prefix if provided (-p``option) and the file number (1 to ``n).

Example:

> obidistribute -n 10 -p 'part' seq.fastq


Distribute the sequence records contained in the seq.fastq file and distributes them over files part_1.fastq to part_10.fastq.



Number of files to distribute over.

Prefix added at each file name.

The N first sequence records of the file are discarded from the analysis and not reported to the output file

Only the N next sequence records of the file are analyzed. The following sequences in the file are neither analyzed, neither reported to the output file. This option can be used conjointly with the –skip option.

Input file is in genbank format.

Input file is in embl format.

Input file is in fasta format (including OBITools fasta extensions).

Input file is in Sanger fastq format (standard fastq used by HiSeq/MiSeq sequencers).

Input file is in fastq format produced by Solexa (Ga IIx) sequencers.

Input file is in ecoPCR format.

Input is an ecoPCR database.

Input file contains nucleic sequences.

Input file contains protein sequences.

--fasta-output
Output sequences in OBITools fasta format

Output sequences in Sanger fastq format

--ecopcrdb-output=<PREFIX_FILENAME>
Creates an ecoPCR database from sequence records results

Print sequences in upper case (default is lower case)

Shows this help message and exits.

Sets logging in debug mode.
