I'm new to biopython and I'm just having trouble converting a .txt file into a .fasta file using biopython.
I'm new to biopython and I'm just having trouble converting a .txt file into a .fasta file using biopython.
If possible try converting this .txt file to .fasta file using UNIX command line
Use awk command
eg. awk '{ print ">"NR"\n"$0 }' yourfile.txt > yourfasta.fas
check this link for more help https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_to_convert_a_Text_File_to_a_Fasta_Format_File
You may try this or other similar methods in UNIX command line (since you r new to biopython)
FASTA files are plain text files - they simply don't end in .txt
for reasons of naming convention. It is likely that renaming a file or copying it into something that ends in .fas
would do the trick.
If your text file is in some sequence format other than FASTA - it could be, because most of them are plain text files as well - it would help if you show the first few lines of the file and tell us what is it that you tried in BioPython that didn't work.
