Going through the notes seems insane to me because like...in my experience the average ecologist nowadays is at least a mid-range coder. Geneticists as well, you can't do bioinformatics/genomics without coding.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE DOING IT ALL BY HAND??? LIKE BACKSPACING OUT EVERY LETTER BEFORE YOU SEARCH THE STRING???

String identified: AT A ' G T A A??? ACACG T TT AC T TG???

Closest match: Crassostrea gigas strain QD chromosome 2 Common name: Pacific oyster

#I'm a field ecologist and geneticist by training now #and that means I'm capable of using several programming languages and would rather die than manually do something if I can script it #I could literally write a R script to convert the text there in about two minutes I think?#hell give me a little longer and I could probably integrate the nucleotide blast into the whole thing #you just identify all symbols you want to keep #ask for their positions and then subset the string at those positions #now to be fair I'd have to do a couple things to the initial string I think #or just write a horrible loop because I'm a monster
