SeqFu: a suite of utilities to manipulate sequence files
Bioengineering
Sequence files formats (FASTA and FASTQ) are commonly used in bioinformatics, molecular biology and biochemistry. With the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the number of FASTQ datasets produced and analyzed, has grown exponentially, urging the development of dedicated software to handle, parse, and manipulate such files efficiently. Several bioinformatics packages are available to filter and manipulate FASTA and FASTQ files, yet some commonly performed operation tasks remain poorly supported. Here we present a suite of tools, called SeqFu (Sequence Fastx utilities), that provides a set of commands to perform such common operations with ease. SeqFu is freely available at https://github.com/telatin/seqfu2, and can be installed with the popular package manager Miniconda.
