Map fasta headers based on sequence match
Hello,
I am looking for a tool to do the following: I have two fasta files with same sequence content, but the headers have been named differently by different sources.
File1:
>head1
examplesequence
>head2
anothersequence
File2: >seq1
examplesequence
>seq2
anothersequence
I need to match the sequence and map the header names. Is there a way other than BLAST ?
Thanks,
AP

If the strings are exactly the same as you say, you can do it with simple string matching.
is it the very same sequence ? if so, similar questions have been asked a gazillion of times on biostars.org
