62 **What it does**
63
64 This tool converts FASTA formatted sequences to TAB-delimited format.
65
66 Many tools consider the first word of the FASTA "&gt;" title line to be an identifier, and any remaining text to be a free form description.
67 It is therefore useful to split this text into two columns in Galaxy (identifier and any description) by setting **How many columns to divide title string into?** to **2**.
68 In some cases the description can be usefully broken up into more columns -- see the examples .
69
70 The option *How many characters to keep?* allows to select a specified number of letters from the beginning of each FASTA entry.
71 With the introduction of the **How many columns to divide title string into?** option this setting is of limited use, but does still allow you to truncate the identifier.
72

75 **Example**
76
77 Suppose you have the following FASTA formatted sequences from a Roche (454) FLX sequencing run::
78
79 &gt;EYKX4VC02EQLO5 length=108 xy=1826_0455 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_
80 TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGCGCGATGACCATCGCCCGCTCCACCACG
81 TTCGGCCGGCCCTTCTCGTCGAGGAATGACACCAGCGCTTCGCCCACG
82 &gt;EYKX4VC02D4GS2 length=60 xy=1573_3972 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_
83 AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATACTCACAGGCTTATACAATACAAATGTAA
84
85 Running this tool with the default settings will produce this (2 column output):
86
87 ========================================================================== =======================================
88 EYKX4VC02EQLO5 length=108 xy=1826_0455 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGC...ACG
89 EYKX4VC02D4GS2 length=60 xy=1573_3972 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATAC...TAA
90 ========================================================================== =======================================
91
92 Having the full title line (the FASTA "&gt;" line text) as a column is not always ideal.
93
94 The **How many characters to keep?** option is useful if your identifiers are all the same length.
95 In this example the identifier is 14 characters, so setting **How many characters to keep?** to **14** (and leaving **How many columns to divide title string into?** as the default, **1**) will produce this (2 column output):
96
97 ============== =======================================
98 EYKX4VC02EQLO5 TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGC...ACG
99 EYKX4VC02D4GS2 AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATAC...TAA
100 ============== =======================================
101
102 If however your FASTA file has identifiers of variable length, it is better to split the text into at least two columns.
103 Running this tool with **How many columns to divide title string into?** to **2** will produce this (3 column output):
104
105 ============== =========================================================== =======================================
106 EYKX4VC02EQLO5 length=108 xy=1826_0455 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGC...ACG
107 EYKX4VC02D4GS2 length=60 xy=1573_3972 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATAC...TAA
108 ============== =========================================================== =======================================
109
110 Running this tool with **How many columns to divide title string into?** to **5** will produce this (5 column output):
111
112 ============== ========== ============ ======== ========================== =======================================
113 EYKX4VC02EQLO5 length=108 xy=1826_0455 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGC...ACG
114 EYKX4VC02D4GS2 length=60 xy=1573_3972 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATAC...TAA
115 ============== ========== ============ ======== ========================== =======================================
116
117 Running this tool with **How many columns to divide title string into?** to **5** and **How many characters to keep?** to **10** will produce this (5 column output).
118 Notice that only the first column is truncated to 10 characters -- and be careful not to trim your sequence names too much (generally they should be unique):
119
120 ========== ========== ============ ======== ========================== =======================================
