Hi guys

I need to extract the read names composition of all contigs from an ace file of an assembly. I know tablet and other tools do this but only browsing the file contig by contig by my ace has 65000 contigs (UGG). Doe anyone knows
a tool capable to let to edit the ace and extract this particular info from all
contigs simultanously?? perhaps converting the ace to bam??

Thanks in advance

And what was your solution?

I would try parsing the ACE file with Biopython to get the read names - but you could probably do it with a regular expression at the Unix command line too.

Yes, i will make a small perl or php script to parse the file.
I wrote the question so fastly i guess because i wrongly though that .ace cannot be edit as a plane file. So there is no problem to parse it with any script.
