Hi Folks,
Just wondering if anyone can give me a quick solution to a pretty
straightforward problem. I have a text file of DNA sequences. Each sequence
has at the top a header
>Unique Identifier blah blah blah
sequence
The unique identifier is 4 letters and 3 numbers. Basically i want to parse
the file and append it with some extra info ie
>Unique Identifier NEW TEXT blah blah blah
sequence
the new text i want to insert is one number and 5 letters and is exactly the
same in each. I am assuming that i can use something straightforward on the
command line to do this but, possibly due to it being early in the morning
and not having had enough coffee, I cant seem to figure anything out. If
anyone has any ideas they would be hugely appreciated as I need to try and
sort this problem out asap.
Thanks a lot guys
