* Package name : libfastahack Version : 0.0+20160309 Upstream Author : Erik Garrison <erik.garri...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/ekg/fastahack * License : GPL Programming Lang: C++ Description : library for indexing and sequence extraction from FASTA files fastahack is a small application for indexing and extracting sequences and subsequences from FASTA files. The included Fasta.cpp library provides a FASTA reader and indexer that can be embedded into applications which would benefit from directly reading subsequences from FASTA files. The library automatically handles index file generation and use. . Features: * FASTA index (.fai) generation for FASTA files * Sequence extraction * Subsequence extraction * Sequence statistics (currently only entropy is provided) . Sequence and subsequence extraction use fseek64 to provide fastest-possible extraction without RAM-intensive file loading operations. This makes fastahack a useful tool for bioinformaticists who need to quickly extract many subsequences from a reference FASTA sequence. Remark: This package is a (pre-)pre-condition for some Debian Med target software (freebayes). It will be maintained at https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-med/libfastahack.git
