Common manipulations of FASTA/Q file include +converting, searching, filtering, deduplication, splitting, shuffling, +and sampling. Existing tools only implement some of these manipulations, +and not particularly efficiently, and some are only available for +certain operating systems. Furthermore, the complicated installation +process of required packages and running environments can render these +programs less user friendly. + +This project describes a cross-platform ultrafast comprehensive toolkit +for FASTA/Q processing. SeqKit provides executable binary files for all +major operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, and can +be directly used without any dependencies or pre-configurations. SeqKit +demonstrates competitive performance in execution time and memory usage +compared to similar tools. The efficiency and usability of SeqKit enable +researchers to rapidly accomplish common FASTA/Q file manipulations. + +Note: This just repackages the binaries provided from upstream. + +Please cite: +Wei Shen,Shuai Le,Yan Li ,Fuquan Hu.
