Regex in Python on FASTA files.

This takes me back to when I was a student!

I'm feeling nostalgic now.

My favorite is lines 32 and 64.

Would be good on a T-Shirt

I have used regex for chart analysis for stock trading. I mapped chart states to characters, then matched character patterns using a regex. It was a very sensible thing to do that gave me tremendous flexibility with very little code.

You didn't believe it then, but you better believe it now: RegEx is the final boss of both code and science.

Everyone knows that to understand metabolism you should use a parser.
