Reading one FASTA record
Parsing a single record.
Parsing a record
To parse a FASTA record, you split it into lines, take the first line as the header, and join the rest as the sequence.
Python
fasta = ">Tv01\nATGCGT\nAATGC"
lines = fasta.split("\n")
header = lines[0]
sequence = "".join(lines[1:])
print(header)
print(sequence)→ >Tv01
ATGCGTAATGC
