I think so, probably both of them typo'd. (What are the probabilities of
that?)
It looks to me like you have two lines per DNA sequence. What you could do
instead, is to alternate the line reading with a with statement, as
suggested by Jan. Although I don't know why he's nesting two of them.
(explanation would be neat.)
Here's my version of approach, given the sample data the OP posted:
with open('NodeList.txt', 'r') as file:
for line in file.readlines():
line = line.rstrip()
if line[0] == '>':
# Do for New DNA Sequence
# ...
else:
line = line[:-76]
# ...
Should do what you need.
