Split a large fasta file #83

Hi,

Thank you for this excellent tool!

I have a large fasta file (assembly) and I would like to run the VirSorter. Does it make sense if I split the fasta file to multiple files and run the VirSorter seperately for them? The reason why I am doing this is that it would take a while to run a large fasta file with VirSorter.

Hi,

There is no issue with splitting large input fasta files to run VirSorter separately on each of them, and it's actually the recommended approach to optimize compute time.

Best, Simon
