  • How to add characters to start of fasta header

    Hi Everyone,

    I have small question. How do we add characters to a start of a fasta header?

    I know we can add it to the end of Fasta header using this.

    Code:
    perl -p -e 's/^(>.*)$/$1-New_Header_info/g' input.fasta > output.fasta
    Although I could use Galaxy, but I am trying to avoid it for this and learn a bit of perl at the same time.

    Thank you in advance.

    You're almost all the way there: just move the $1 to the end of the replacement string. Also, it'll be a little easier if you take the greater than (>) out of the match.

    Code:
    perl -p -e 's/^>(.*)/>New_Header_Info $1/' input.fasta > output.fasta
    For this, you really don't need the /g at the end since you're matching the whole line and, because the .* is greedy, the $ at the end of the match string is unnecessary as well.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
