About fastahack
From Debian's package description
fastahack is a small application for indexing and extracting sequences and subsequences from FASTA files. The included Fasta.cpp library provides a FASTA reader and indexer that can be embedded into applications which would benefit from directly reading subsequences from FASTA files. The library automatically handles index file generation and use.
Features:
- FASTA index (.fai) generation for FASTA files
- Sequence extraction
- Subsequence extraction
- Sequence statistics (currently only entropy is provided)
Sequence and subsequence extraction use fseek64 to provide fastest-possible extraction without RAM-intensive file loading operations. This makes fastahack a useful tool for bioinformaticists who need to quickly extract many subsequences from a reference FASTA sequence.
