Presence-absence Matrix to Fasta format


Convert the binary matrix to fasta format with this simple code in Python !. Recommended for larger file sizes !

Sample Input:
Sp1 1 1 1 1
Sp2 0 0 0 0
Sp3 1 1 0 0

Sample Output:
>Sp1
['1', '1', '1', '1']
>Sp2
['0', '0', '0', '0']
>Sp3
['1', '1', '0', '0']

Workaround the output file in any text file to remove [,'  ] to generate final output as:
>Sp1
1111
>Sp2
0000
>Sp3
1100

This is a simple python code to convert binary matrix into fasta format. There 
are many public softwares available. But each one has size limits (<=2MB). 
This code processes 61 x 51000 character matrix in less than 10 seconds in 
python 2.7!
