Converting MultiFASTA to Phylip and back¶
Data Types: FASTA, Phylip
Converting a MultiFASTA file to a Phylip file - all sequences must be the same length:
genozip mydata.fa.gz
genocat mydata.fa.genozip --phylip --output mydata.phy
Converting a Phylip file to a MultiFASTA file:
genozip mydata.phy
genocat mydata.phy.genozip --fasta --output mydata.fa.gz
Note: the input files can be plain files, or compressed with .gz .bz2 or .xz. The output files may be plain files or .gz.
Note: if the Phylip input file doesn’t have a .phy (or .phy.gz / .phy.bz2 / .phy.xz) file name extenion, you can tell genozip that this is a Phylip file with --input phy
