splitmasked 0.1.1

Separate masked and unmasked parts of sequences in FASTX files.

splitmasked

splitmasked splits sequence records in FAST(A/Q) files based on their masking status. What constitutes masking can be defined with the --maskchar option (eg. N or lowercase). Both masked and unmasked parts can be retained and written to separate output files.
