After the break I copied the program we wrote today in class…
Remember that it
1) Takes parameters from the user
2) Parse the multifasta file with contigs saving to $seq1 and $seq2 the sequence of desired contigs
…
#!/usr/bin/perl # Constant: we write here the FILENAME of the multifasta # file containing the contigs $multifasta = '/home/geno/tools/contigs.fna'; # We print a MESSAGE for the user print STDERR " Pick Primer Tool v.01 Parameters: contig1 direction1 contig2 direction2 direction1,2 = U or C "; # We populate variables with USER PARAMETERS ($contig1, $dir1, $contig2, $dir2) = @ARGV; # And print them for the user print STDERR " contig1 $contig1 dir1 $dir1 contig2 $contig2 dir2 $dir2 "; open(I, "$multifasta") || die " ERROR: can't open $multifasta :(\n"; # Here we read the multifasta file while (<I>) { chomp($_); if ($_=~/>(.*)/) { if ($header eq $contig1) { $seq1 = $seq; } if ($header eq $contig2) { $seq2 = $seq; } $header=$1; $seq = ''; } else { $seq=$seq.$_; } } if ($header eq $contig1) { $seq1 = $seq; } if ($header eq $contig2) { $seq2 = $seq; } if (length($seq1) == 0) { die "$contig1 was not found\n"; } if (length($seq2) == 0) { die "$contig2 was not found\n"; } |
