  Usage:

    seqkit [command]

  Available Commands:

amplicon
    retrieve amplicon (or specific region around it) via primer(s)

bam monitoring and online histograms of BAM record features

common
    find common sequences of multiple files by id/name/sequence

concat
    concatenate sequences with same ID from multiple files

convert
    convert FASTQ quality encoding between Sanger, Solexa and Illumina

duplicate
    duplicate sequences N times

faidx
    create FASTA index file and extract subsequence

fish
    look for short sequences in larger sequences using local alignment

fq2fa
    convert FASTQ to FASTA

fx2tab
    convert FASTA/Q to tabular format (with length/GC content/GC skew)

    genautocomplete generate shell autocompletion script grep search sequences by ID/name/sequence/sequence motifs, mismatch allowed head print first N FASTA/Q records help Help about any command locate locate subsequences/motifs, mismatch allowed mutate edit sequence (point mutation, insertion, deletion) pair match up paired-end reads from two fastq files range print FASTA/Q records in a range (start:end) rename rename duplicated IDs replace replace name/sequence by regular expression restart reset start position for circular genome rmdup remove duplicated sequences by id/name/sequence sample sample sequences by number or proportion sana sanitize broken single line fastq files scat real time recursive concatenation and streaming of fastx files seq transform sequences (revserse, complement, extract ID...) shuffle shuffle sequences sliding sliding sequences, circular genome supported sort sort sequences by id/name/sequence/length split split sequences into files by id/seq region/size/parts (mainly for FASTA) split2 split sequences into files by size/parts (FASTA, PE/SE FASTQ) stats simple statistics of FASTA/Q files subseq get subsequences by region/gtf/bed, including flanking sequences tab2fx convert tabular format to FASTA/Q format translate translate DNA/RNA to protein sequence (supporting ambiguous bases) version print version information and check for update watch monitoring and online histograms of sequence features

  Flags:

--alphabet-guess-seq-length int
    length of sequence prefix of the first FASTA record based on which seqkit guesses the sequence type (0 for whole seq) (default 10000)

-h, --help
    help for seqkit

--id-ncbi
    FASTA head is NCBI-style, e.g. >gi|110645304|ref|NC_002516.2| Pseud...

--id-regexp string
    regular expression for parsing ID (default "^(\\S+)\\s?")

--infile-list string
    file of input files list (one file per line), if given, they are appended to files from cli arguments

-w, --line-width int
    line width when outputting FASTA format (0 for no wrap) (default 60)

-o, --out-file string
    out file ("-" for stdout, suffix .gz for gzipped out) (default "-")

--quiet
    be quiet and do not show extra information

-t, --seq-type string
    sequence type (dna|rna|protein|unlimit|auto) (for auto, it automatically detect by the first sequence) (default "auto")

-j, --threads int
    number of CPUs. (default value: 1 for single-CPU PC, 2 for others. can also set with environment variable SEQKIT_THREADS) (default 2)

Use "seqkit [command] --help" for more information about a command.
