Shell script for adding .fsa (GeneMapper) extension to ABI fragment sizing/sequence files from Macintosh computers running GeneScan. Allows files to be analyzed using GeneMapper on Windows 2K or XP. Script adds .fsa to all files when run in their directory. Also removes the stupid dot character in the original sequencer file for which Windows does not care. Two options are available, the script alone (.txt file) or a tar file with a readme containing instructions.
A script to convert a folder of text-only DNA sequence files (1 sequence per file) to a larger, fasta file containing all the sequences formerly in their own files. May be useful with msatCommand.py and/or the use of Sequin () to prepare DNA sequence files for submission.
A little outline on how you might script the movement of files from OS X to a shared folder on a windows machine. You could combine this with the above to convert files to the .fsa extension and automatically move them on a hourly/daily/weekly basis using something like CRON.
