Fasta Max length variants
This software selects the gene variants with larger Fasta sequences. The result is a Fasta file with the larger sequence/gene. To increase speed the fasta file is loaded into RAM, do not use this software with large fasta file on low memory computers.
Manual :
1- install Perl free programming language and GNU parallel.
2- unzip the software
3- copy your Fasta files in the “fasta” directory.
4- copy the genes list in the "list" directory
- one column : gene names
example :
The Fasta file should contains the gene name in parenthesis in the header :
example :
>gnl|UG|Hs#S26153450 Homo sapiens small nucleolar RNA, H/ACA box 6 (SNORA6), small nucleolar RNA /gb=NR_002325 /gi=68510025 /ug=Hs.745521 /len=149
5- edit config.txt to set the number of CPUs for parallel processing.
6- execute the software by the command : perl Max_synonym_FASTA.pl
7- processed files are in the “results” directory.
8- log files are in the “log” directory.
