How To Fix bp_seqfeature_delete: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu bp_seqfeature_delete is provided by libbio-db-seqfeature-perl package.

libbio-db-seqfeature-perl is:

The Bio::DB::SeqFeature object is the default SeqFeature class stored in Bio::DB::SeqFeature databases. It implements both the Bio::DB::SeqFeature::NormalizedFeatureI and Bio::DB::SeqFeature::NormalizedTableFeatureI interfaces, which means that its subfeatures, if any, are stored in the database in a normalized fashion, and that the parent/child hierarchy of features and subfeatures are also stored in the database as set of tuples. This provides efficiencies in both storage and retrieval speed.

Typically you will not create Bio::DB::SeqFeature directly, but will ask the database to do so on your behalf, as described in Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install libbio-db-seqfeature-perl

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install libbio-db-seqfeature-perl.

sudo apt -y install libbio-db-seqfeature-perl

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install libbio-db-seqfeature-perl
