FASTA Formatter

About

How often have you looked at the FASTA file with lines of 70 bp, and thought "Why can't they use 100 bp"? Now you can reformat it to use any line length with this simple script.

This tool was made by Kirill Kryukov in Saitou lab, NIG. I share it with the hope that it can be useful, but without any warranties.
