How can I use readline() to begin from the second line?
<p>I'm writing a short program in Python that will read a FASTA file which is usually in this format:</p>

<pre><code>&gt;gi|253795547|ref|NC_012960.1| Candidatus Hodgkinia cicadicola Dsem chromosome, 52 lines
GACGGCTTGTTTGCGTGCGACGAGTTTAGGATTGCTCTTTTGCTAAGCTTGGGGGTTGCGCCCAAAGTGA
TTAGATTTTCCGACAGCGTACGGCGCGCGCTGCTGAACGTGGCCACTGAGCTTACACCTCATTTCAGCGC
TCGCTTGCTGGCGAAGCTGGCAGCAGCTTGTTAATGCTAGTGTTGGGCTCGCCGAAAGCTGGCAGGTCGA
</code></pre>

<p>I've created another program that reads the first line(aka header) of this FASTA file and now I want this second program to start reading and printing beginning from the sequence. </p>

<p>How would I do that?</p>

<p>so far i have this:</p>

<pre><code>FASTA = open("test.txt", "r")

def readSeq(FASTA):
    """returns the DNA sequence of a FASTA file"""
    for line in FASTA:
        line = line.strip()
        print line          


readSeq(FASTA)
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks guys</p>
