Compute the Whole-Sequence MD5 from a FASTA File

p3-fasta-md5.pl [options]

This script computes the whole-genome MD5 checksum from a genome’s FASTA file. This can be used to determine if two genomes have identical DNA.

Parameters

There are no positional parameters.

The standard input can be overridden using the options in Input Options. The input should be a DNA FASTA file.

The checksum will be produced on the standard output.
