A simple enough problem, I want to read in this data, and cut out the
last 76 letters (nucleotides) from each individual sequence and send
them to a new txt file with a similar format.
If I understand correctly you want sth like this:
with open(path_to_the_input_file) as fasta:
with open(path_to_the_input_file) as nucleotides:
for seq in fasta:
print >>nucleotides, '> foo bar length=76'
print >>nucleotides, seq[-76]
