+**What it does**
+
+Converts tab delimited data into FASTA formatted sequences.
+
+-----------
+	
+**Example**
+
+Suppose this is a sequence file produced by Illumina (Solexa) sequencer::
+
+	5	300	902	419	GACTCATGATTTCTTACCTATTAGTGGTTGAACATC
+	5	300	880	431	GTGATATGTATGTTGACGGCCATAAGGCTGCTTCTT
+	
+Selecting **c3** and **c4** as the **Title column(s)** and **c5** as the **Sequence column** will result in::
+
+	&gt;902_419
+	GACTCATGATTTCTTACCTATTAGTGGTTGAACATC
+	&gt;880_431
+	GTGATATGTATGTTGACGGCCATAAGGCTGCTTCTT
