I have a fasta file with a thousand sequences with a distribution of lengths between 100 and 150bp. I would like to add Ns to all sequences whose length is <150. I know it is possible but thus far I have yet to find anything to easily do this. Please help. Thanks!

Not fast, but something like:
Code:perl -e 'while(<>) {if (/^>/) {print;next}; chomp; print $_,"N" x (150-length($_)),"\n"}' in.fastaComment

That looks like it should be plenty fast enough, more likely to be limited by the read speed of the hard drive than the speed of the code.Comment

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing... -
The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
This convergence of genetics, immunology, and computation...09-01-2026, 05:41 AM
