RE: What strategy for random accession of records in massive FASTA file? "Batista, Facundo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [If you want to keep the memory usage low, you can parse the file once and store in a list the byte position where the record starts and ends. Then access the list randomly and read each record with seek() and read(). ---------- Or if you want to access by sequence name rather than number, use a dict instead.
