Step 7: Combine (using UNIX cat) three fasta files into one file

Next, we have combined three files:

Lycopersicon_esculentum.with_hits.fasta

Lycopersicon_hirsutum.fasta

Lycopersicon_pennellii.fasta

into one file with name: tomato_ABC.fasta

UNIX command cat has been used:

$ cat Lycopersicon_esculentum.with_hits.fasta Lycopersicon_hirsutum.fasta Lycopersicon_pennellii.fasta > tomato_ABC.fasta

Total number of ESTs in tomato_ABC.fasta file is 43737.


Congratulation!

We are almost ready to start CAP3 assembly.
