The sequence GATTCA appears 4 times in the reference version of the COVID genome :) (Go to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NC_045512, pick "Find in this Sequence" on the right)


AWESOME! I just did a text search for it on github. Maybe it didn't pick any up that had a line break in the middle.

I'm much happier now.


Yep, the usual coding tools aren't ideal for bioinformatics. We have our own set of tools that work well with the various "standard" formats for sequence data.
