NAME

       bp_dbsplit - script to split an input set of database(s) into smaller pieces

SYNOPSIS

         bp_dbsplit.PLS --size 50 [-i inputfile] [-if inputformat] [-of outputformat]
                     [--prefix outputprefix] [ < file1 file 2  OR file1 file2]

DESCRIPTION

       This script will take as input a list of filenames or a single file or from STDIN a
       sequence database and split the database into separate files of X numbers of sequences.
       You specify X with the "--size/-s" parameter.  The input and output sequence format is any
       that is supported by bioperl (fasta,embl,genbank,gcg, swissprot, etc).

       You can specify the input data either as a single file with -i filename, or as a single
       file as an argument like

         % bp_dbsplit file1 file2

       or as a list of sequence data with

         % cat file1 file2 file3 | bp_dbsplit

       You'll want to use the "--prefix" to specify what the output prefix will be.
