NAME

       fasta2DB - create a Dazzler database from fasta files

SYNOPSIS

       fasta2DB [-v] path:db {-ffile | input:fasta ...}

DESCRIPTION

       Builds  an  initial  database,  or  adds to an existing database, the list of .fasta files
       following the database name argument, or if the -f option is  used,  the  list  of  .fasta
       files  in  file.  A given .fasta file can only be added once to the DB (this is checked by
       the command).  The .fasta headers must be in the "Pacbio" format (i.e.  the output of  the
       Pacbio  tools  or  our dextract(1) program) and the well, pulse interval, and read quality
       are extracted from the header and kept with each read record.   If  the  files  are  being
       added  to an existing database, and the partition settings of the DB have already been set
       (see DBsplit(1)), then the partitioning of the database is  updated  to  include  the  new
       data.
