seqsplit is part of the HMMer package. HMMER is an implementation of profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMs) for biological sequence analysis. Profile HMMs are statistical models of multiple sequence alignments. They capture position-specific information about how conserved each column of the alignment is, and which residues are likely.

seqsplit splits sequences into chunks of a defined size and overlap. Command line options for seqsplit can be found by typing seqsplit -h on the command line.
