NAME
fastahack - fastahack - indexing and extracting sequences and subsequences from FASTA files
DESCRIPTION
usage: fastahack [options] <fasta reference>
options:
-i , --index
generate fasta index <fasta reference>.fai
-r , --region REGION
print the specified region
-c , --stdin
read a stream of line-delimited region specifiers on stdin and print the corresponding sequence for each on stdout
-e , --entropy
print the shannon entropy of the specified region
-d , --dump
print the fasta file in the form โseq_name <tab> sequenceโ
REGION is of the form <seq>, <seq>:<start>[sep]<end>, <seq1>:<start>[sep]<seq2>:<end> where start and end are 1-based, and the region includes the end position. [sep] is "-" or ".."
Specifying a sequence name alone will return the entire sequence, specifying range will return that range, and specifying a single coordinate pair, e.g. <seq>:<start> will return just that base.
