    convert a text file in fasta with decollpasing

    Hi all,

    I have this file:

    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTT 424866
    TAGCTTATCAGACTGATGTTGA 359141
    TAGCTTATCAGACTGATGTTGAC 276052
    TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTATAGTT 268735
    ACAGTAGTCTGCACATTGGTT 209280
    ACAGTAGTCTGCACATTGGTTA 178652
    TAGCTTATCAGACTGATGTTG 166159
    TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTGTGGTT 105275
    TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTATGGTT 102447
    AGCAGCATTGTACAGGGCTATGA 91296
    TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTGTGGTTT 63300
    TGAGGTAGTAGTTTGTACAGTT 61604
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGT 61492
    TAGCACCATCTGAAATCGGTTA 60637
    TTCAAGTAATCCAGGATAGGCT 52300
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTTA 50905
    TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTATAGT 48150
    TACAGTAGTCTGCACATTGGTT 47534
    TCTACAGTCCGACGATC 45803
    ................

    They are sequences and the numbers are the respective occurrences. I would like to convert that file in a fasta format, decollapsing the sequences and giving a name like that:

    >Sample1_0
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTT
    >Sample1_1
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTT
    >Sample1_2
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTT
    .....
    for 424866 times.
    >Sample1_424666
    TGAGGTAGTAGATTGTATAGTT

    then
    >Sample1_424667
    TAGCTTATCAGACTGATGTTGA (the second sequences)

    The same for the other sequences in series. Is there any scripts for that purpose?

    Thanks in advance,
    Giorgio

    Code:
    awk '{for(i=0;i<=($2-1);i++) print ">Sample"NR"_"i"\n"$1}' file.txt
    This might work!

        This can also be done with Biopieces (www.biopieces.org):

        Code:
        read_tab -i in.tab -k SEQ,COUNT | duplicate_record -k COUNT | add_ident -k SEQ_NAME -p Sample1_ | write_fasta -x

          Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
          by SEQadmin2



          CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

          Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

          Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
          by SEQadmin2


          Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

          Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
          by SEQadmin2



          Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
