Script to rename the headers of a multifasta file or files. A consecutive number will be added to each sequence header (>header_1, >header_2, etc.). Renamed files will be saved in a new subdirectory named renamed_files and the original files will not be modififed.
Please consider using the enhances script fasta_cleaner.
Although the coding needs some polishing, it works.
The script has tree options:
1 Rename one file, the fasta header will be the same as the filename
2 Rename one file and change the original header name with another
3 Rename all fasta files in this directory, the fasta header will be the same as the filename
Just download fasta_renamer.sh to any directory and make it executable: chmod +x fasta_renamer.sh
$ fasta_renamer.sh
