+Easy way to extract line ranges (like from line 200 to line 210) with sed.
+
+```sh
+sed -n '200,210p' data/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.dna.chromosome.18.fa
+
+# then pipe it to a new file with
+
+sed -n '200,210p' data/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.dna.chromosome.18.fa > new.fa
+```
+
+`head` or `tail` could be used to extract from begining of the end of the file.
