You can also try alternatively the substr function as below

Seqofviruses2 <- Seqofviruses %>% mutate(id=substr(seq.name,1,8), desc=substr(seq.name,9))

You can solve this by using strsplit and sapply functions:

Seqofviruses$ID <- sapply(strsplit(Seqofviruses$seq.name," "), `[`, 1)
Seqofviruses$Definition <- sapply(strsplit(Seqofviruses$seq.name," "), `[`, 2)
