bioinformatics Linearizing a FASTA sequence. Linearize FASTA sequences from Uniprot

Example

download and linearize the 10 first FASTA sequences from UniProt:

$ curl -s  "ftp://ftp.uniprot.org/pub/databases/uniprot/current_release/knowledgebase/complete/uniprot_sprot.fasta.gz" |\
  gunzip -c |\
  awk '/^>/ {printf("%s%s\t",(N>0?"\n":""),$0);N++;next;} {printf("%s",$0);} END {printf("\n");}'  |\
  head
