trimal changes fasta headers when contain ':'

[smoretti]

Hi

I use trimAl v1.4.rev9 build[2012-08-09] and have problems with some sequence names. Some names look like 'TCOGS2:TC012457-PA'. (They are "official" names from the Tribolium castaneum genome)

If I run trimAl on the dataset containing this sequence trimal -in input.fas -noallgaps -keepseqs 'TCOGS2:TC012457-PA' is truncated to 'TCOGS2'

Could you prevent trimAl to truncate sequence names in case of ':' ?

Thanks Regards

Hi,

This issue has been solved, at least in input FASTA format files, adding a new parameter '-keepheader'. I expect to extend such functionality to all supported formats in the next weeks.
