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.
