Fixed it after all:
while(<>) { if($_=~/^>/) { $id=$_; $seq=<>; print $id.$seq; if($seq=~/^s+$/) { $seq=~s/s/I/g; print $seq; } else { while($seq=~/(s+)([U|D]+)(s+)/g) { $part_before=$1; $len_bef=length($part_before); $part_TM=$2; $part_after=$3; $len_after=length($part_after); if($part_TM=~/U/) { $part_bef_new='I' x $len_bef; $part_after_new = 'O' x $len_after; } elsif($part_TM=~/D/) { $part_bef_new='O' x $len_bef; $part_after_new = 'I' x $len_after; } $seq=~s/$part_before/$part_bef_new/; $seq=~s/$part_after/$part_after_new/; } $seq=~s/U/M/g; $seq=~s/D/M/g; print $seq; } } }

Thank you for your time!
