BP_SEQPART(1)         User Contributed Perl Documentation        BP_SEQPART(1)


NAME

       bp_seqpart.pl - Takes one or more sequence files and splits them into a
       number of load balanced files.


USAGE

        bp_seqpart.pl -n <NUM_PARTS> [-h, -p <PREFIX>, -f <FORMAT>, -o <OUT_DIR>] <FILES...>

          -n number of files to create through partitioning
          -h this help message
          -p prefix for all FASTA file names output, files are of the form <outdir>/<prefix>#.<format>
          -f format of the files, defaults to FASTA but you can specify anything supported by SeqIO from BioPerl
          -o output directory where to dump the split sequence files


DESCRIPTION

       Script wrapping SeqIO that allows partitioning of multiple sequence
       files into near equal sized parts for later parallel processing. Even
       if you have 10 input files outputting to 10 files will balance the
       files to contain similar total length of sequence. ID's are ignored
       when deciding on how to balance each sequence.
