OBITools is a set of Python scripts created to simplify manipulation of sequence files in our labs. They was mainly design to help us during analyze of Next Generation Sequencer outputs (454 or solexa). These scripts relies on a Python library of the same name ''obitools''
The library and the scripts evolved with our needs. They mainly provide facilities to manipulate sequence files in Fasta format. Other formats are supported as genbank or embl.
The '''OBITools''' scripts
The OBITools scripts aims to help you to manipulate various data and sequence files in a convenient way using the Unix command line interface. They follow the standard Unix interface for command line program, allowing to chain a set of scripts using the pipe mecanism.
All these scripts have a -h option printing a small online help to describe the different options accepted by the script.
If an option is shared by several scripts, this option is named by the same letter in all these scripts. This is done to facilitate the usage of OBITools scripts. In the same way, usualy the name of a script begins with a prefix indicating the format of the input file.
The '''obitools''' Python library
OBItools is a set of scripts but also a Python library. You can use this library freely to create your own scripts.
