LAB TASK: Implement a program in python that will open a FASTA file, concatenate its multiline sequences into single strings, store them in a dictionary using the sequence ID from the sequence header (value between the | symbols) as a key, and then print the IDs and sequences as two columns in a new file.

OBJECTIVE(S):

1. Write your code in the block below. Download the file called myoglobin.fasta, and make sure to save it in the same location as your lab task script.

2. Create an empty dictionary to store sequence information.

3. Using the open function, open the FASTA file (myoglobin.fasta).

4. When you find a line beginning with the > character (a header) extract the ID code between the | symbols and start a new dictionary entry using the ID as a key.

5. If a line isnt a header (i.e. it is a sequence), strip off the newline character at the end and append the sequence to a growing string (to the growing sequence that is the dictionary value) stored within the most recent dictionary key.

6. Close the original file.

7. Open a new file for writing, e.g. myoglobin_processed.txt.

8. Loop through the dictionary and write the ID keys and their corresponding sequences to the new file, separating them with a tab (\t) to generate two columns.

9. Close the new file.

10. Run your script. Upload the script and output (myoglobin_processed.txt) for lab credit. Dont forget comments!

Your output for two sequences should look like this (note how the sequence now is a single string):

Thank you in advance!! The myoglobin.fasta file contains the following:
