I have 2 fasta files with each storing DNA sequences under different individual names respectively. eg. 
>John     >John
atgc      gggg
>Tom      >Tom
atgg      ccgg
...       ...
(file1)   (file2)

[download]
Now I need to merge the sequences from the 2 files under every same name and output as a new file. eg. 
>John     
atgcgggg
>Tom
atggccgg
...
(newfile)

[download]
I would like to use hash to store the names and sequences then push them into new hashes. Since I am really a newbie, so could anyone tell me how to merge the values of 2 hashes? thanks a lot!
