Hello,

It seems like it would be a simple task, but I was wondering if there is any easy way to search for a particular contig that I know the name of in an assembly. The assembly file is too large to use a text editor to do a search and find. I also tried using the linux command nano to find contigs, and this works but it takes a very long time.

The reason I need the actual dna sequence for a contig is because I want to align this with the sequence from a blast sequence hit.

Thank you,
Zach
