Quick gene is utility, which allows for DNA/RNA sequence similarity searches using BLASTN Api.

Dependencies:

• Python 3.0 or higher
• Argparse, available at: https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html
• Biopython, avilable at: https://biopython.org/

Input file needs to be in '.fasta' format, it is preferred for sequence to start and finish in 2nd line.

Script needs to be made executable: chmod +x quick_gene.py

In order to run: ./quick_gene.py -in input_file.fasta

my_blast.xml file with raw data will be created in execution folder, parsed output will be displayed in terminal, however can be saved to file by: ./quick_gene.py -in input_file.fasta > output_file.txt
