**What it does**

This tool converts FASTA formatted sequences to TAB-delimited format.

Many tools consider the first word of the FASTA "&gt;" title line to be an identifier, and any remaining text to be a free form description.
It is therefore useful to split this text into two columns in Galaxy (identifier and any description) by setting **How many columns to divide title string into?** to **2**.
In some cases the description can be usefully broken up into more columns -- see the examples .

The option *How many characters to keep?* allows to select a specified number of letters from the beginning of each FASTA entry.
With the introduction of the **How many columns to divide title string into?** option this setting is of limited use, but does still allow you to truncate the identifier.

-----

**Example**

Suppose you have the following FASTA formatted sequences from a Roche (454) FLX sequencing run::

    >EYKX4VC02EQLO5 length=108 xy=1826_0455 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_
    TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGCGCGATGACCATCGCCCGCTCCACCACG
    TTCGGCCGGCCCTTCTCGTCGAGGAATGACACCAGCGCTTCGCCCACG
    >EYKX4VC02D4GS2 length=60 xy=1573_3972 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_
    AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATACTCACAGGCTTATACAATACAAATGTAA

Running this tool with the default settings will produce this (2 column output):

========================================================================== =======================================
EYKX4VC02EQLO5 length=108 xy=1826_0455 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGC...ACG
EYKX4VC02D4GS2 length=60 xy=1573_3972 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_  AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATAC...TAA
========================================================================== =======================================

Having the full title line (the FASTA "&gt;" line text) as a column is not always ideal.

The **How many characters to keep?** option is useful if your identifiers are all the same length.
In this example the identifier is 14 characters, so setting **How many characters to keep?** to **14** (and leaving **How many columns to divide title string into?** as the default, **1**) will produce this (2 column output):

============== =======================================
EYKX4VC02EQLO5 TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGC...ACG
EYKX4VC02D4GS2 AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATAC...TAA
============== =======================================

If however your FASTA file has identifiers of variable length, it is better to split the text into at least two columns.
Running this tool with **How many columns to divide title string into?** to **2** will produce this (3 column output):

============== =========================================================== =======================================
EYKX4VC02EQLO5 length=108 xy=1826_0455 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGC...ACG
EYKX4VC02D4GS2 length=60 xy=1573_3972 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_  AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATAC...TAA
============== =========================================================== =======================================

Running this tool with **How many columns to divide title string into?** to **5** will produce this (5 column output):

============== ========== ============ ======== ========================== =======================================
EYKX4VC02EQLO5 length=108 xy=1826_0455 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGC...ACG
EYKX4VC02D4GS2 length=60  xy=1573_3972 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATAC...TAA
============== ========== ============ ======== ========================== =======================================

Running this tool with **How many columns to divide title string into?** to **5** and **How many characters to keep?** to **10** will produce this (5 column output).
Notice that only the first column is truncated to 10 characters -- and be careful not to trim your sequence names too much (generally they should be unique):

========== ========== ============ ======== ========================== =======================================
EYKX4VC02E length=108 xy=1826_0455 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGC...ACG
EYKX4VC02D length=60  xy=1573_3972 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_ AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATAC...TAA
========== ========== ============ ======== ========================== =======================================

Note the sequences have been truncated for display purposes in the above tables.
