title: pandas read csv ignore newline
body: <p>i have a dataset (for compbio people out there, it's a FASTA) that is littered with newlines, that don't act as a delimiter of the data.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way for pandas to ignore newlines when importing, using any of the pandas read functions?</p>
  
  <p>sample data:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>>ERR899297.10000174
    TGTAATATTGCCTGTAGCGGGAGTTGTTGTCTCAGGATCAGCATTATATATCTCAATTGCATGAATCATCGTATTAATGC
    TATCAAGATCAGCCGATTCT</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>every entry is delimited by the ">"
  data is split by newlines (limited to, but not actually respected worldwide 
  with 80 chars per line)</p>
