[Bioperl-l] How to read in the whole fasta file in the memory?

[Chris Fields]

Jean-Marc,

You can do that, yes.  Just curious, but have you looked at the various flat file indexing modules for FASTA?  Bio::DB::Fasta and Bio::Index::Fasta are commonly used and allow lookups by primary ID (and I think in some cases secondary IDs).
