Hi, i am a Biology student taking some early steps with programming. I'm currently trying to write a Python script to do some simple processing of a gene sequence file.
A line in the file looks like: SCER ATCGATCGTAGCTAGCTATGCTCAGCTCGATCagctagtcgatagcgat Ther are many lines like this. What I want to do is read the file and remove the trailing lowercase letters and create a new file containing the remaining information. I have some ideas of how to do this (using the isLower() method of the string module. I was hoping someone could help me with the file handling. I was thinking I'd us .readlines() to get a list of the lines, I'm not sure how to delete the right letters or write to a new file. Sorry if this is trivially easy.
