Program gto_fasta_info

The gto_fasta_info shows the readed information of a FASTA or Multi-FASTA file format.

For help type:

./gto_fasta_info -h


In the following subsections, we explain the input and output paramters.

Input parameters

The gto_fasta_info program needs two streams for the computation, namely the input and output standard. The input stream is a FASTA or Multi-FASTA file.

The attribution is given according to:

Usage: ./gto_fasta_info [options] [[--] args]
or: ./gto_fasta_info [options]

It shows read information of a FASTA or Multi-FASTA file format.

-h, --help show this help message and exit

Basic options
< input.fasta Input FASTA or Multi-FASTA file format (stdin)
> output Output read information (stdout)

Example: ./gto_fasta_info < input.mfasta > output

Output example :
Number of reads : value
Number of bases : value
MIN of bases in read : value
MAX of bases in read : value
AVG of bases in read : value


An example of such an input file is:

Output

The output of the gto_fasta_info program is a set of information related to the file read.

Using the input above, an output example for this is the following:

Number of reads : 2
Number of bases : 736
MIN of bases in read : 368
MAX of bases in read : 368
AVG of bases in read : 368.0000
