About:
any2fasta is a lightweight Perl script that converts biological sequence files from various common formats (like FASTQ, GenBank, EMBL) into the standard FASTA format. It simplifies data preprocessing by providing a single, consistent interface for format standardization, which is essential for many downstream bioinformatics analyses and tools.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple input formats (FASTQ, GenBank, EMBL, etc.)
  • Simple command-line interface with minimal dependencies
  • Fast and efficient conversion for large sequence files
Use Cases:
  • Preprocessing sequence data for bioinformatics pipelines
  • Standardizing file formats for analysis tools requiring FASTA input
Alternatives:
  • seqret – Part of the EMBOSS suite, more complex with many additional features beyond conversion
  • seqtk – A broader toolkit for sequence processing, includes format conversion among many other functions
