Here is a sample session with skipseq This does not skip any sequences. It is exactly equivalent to seqret: % skipseq Reads and writes (returns) sequences, skipping first few Input (gapped) sequence(s): tembl:eclac* Number of sequences to skip at start [0]: output sequence(s) [eclac.fasta]: Go to the input files for this exampleGo to the output files for this example Example 2 This skips the first input sequence, writing out the others: % skipseq -skip 1 Reads and writes (returns) sequences, skipping first few Input (gapped) sequence(s): tembl:eclac* output sequence(s) [eclac.fasta]: Go to the output files for this example
