Fastascan is a program that looks for fasta files in a given directory and gives you the following information:
- file directory
- whether the file is a symlink
- how many sequences it has
- the length of those sequences
- the type of file (nucleotide or protein)
In case it is a symlink, the number of sequences and length are not shown to avoid possible duplicates.
This small programme was developed as part of a project for the Introduction to Algorithmics course of the Master in Bioinformatics for Health Science at Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
