There was a problem hiding this comment.
In the Readme of this repo, we have a few lines about each script that includes what it is intended to do and how it does it.
Does something like the following seem okay?
Measles_File_Prep.py
This script automates data preparation for phylogenetic analysis by merging individual FASTA files into consolidated datasets while renaming sequence headers to match their original filenames. It also processes a metadata spreadsheet to extract and clean specific accession IDs and collection dates, saving them into a simplified tab-separated text file.
EXAMPLE:
python Measles_File_Prep.py
