bioinfo-tools

Just a collection of (often poor) scripts to do various bits of bioinformatics stuff I find myself needing to do.

*Disclaimer, not all of these were written by me, they just happen to be useful. Some are based on examples available online and modified. Some are also not actually functional scripts - just little reminders of commands I've used that did something useful (often long one liners I might want again).

Some One liners (shamelessly stolen from https://github.com/onceupon/Bash-Oneliner/blob/master/README.md)

##Grep #####extract text bewteen words (e.g. w1,w2)

grep -o -P '(?<=w1).*(?=w2)'

#####grep lines without word (e.g. bbo)

grep -v bbo filename

#####grep only one/first match (e.g. bbo)

grep -m 1 bbo filename

#####grep and count (e.g. bbo)

grep -c bbo filename

#####insensitive grep (e.g. bbo/BBO/Bbo)

grep -i "bbo" filename

#####count occurrence (e.g. three times a line count three times)

grep -o bbo filename

#####COLOR the match (e.g. bbo)!

grep --color bbo filename

#####grep search all files in a directory(e.g. bbo)

grep -R bbo /path/to/directory

grep -r bbo /path/to/directory

#####search all files in directory, only output file names with matches(e.g. bbo)

grep -Rh bbo /path/to/directory

grep -rh bbo /path/to/directory

#####grep OR (e.g. A or B or C or D)

grep 'A\|B\|C\|D'

#####grep AND (e.g. A and B)

grep 'A.*B'

#####grep all content of a fileA from fileB

grep -f fileA fileB

#####grep a tab

grep $'\t'

#####grep variable from variable

$echo "$long_str"|grep -q "$short_str"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo 'found'; fi

//grep -q will output 0 if match found //remember to add space between []!

#####grep strings between a bracket()

grep -oP '\(\K[^\)]+'

#####grep number of characters with known strings in between(e.g. AAEL000001-RA)

grep -o -w "\w\{10\}\-R\w\{1\}"

// \w word character [0-9a-zA-Z_] \W not word character

#####a lot examples here http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grep-regular-expressions/

##Sed [back to top]

#####remove lines with word (e.g. bbo)

sed "/bbo/d" filename

#####edit infile (edit and save)

sed -i "/bbo/d" filename

#####when using variable (e.g. $i), use double quotes " " e.g. add >$i to the first line (to make a FASTA file)

sed "1i >$i"

//notice the double quotes! in other examples, you can use a single quote, but here, no way! //'1i' means insert to first line

#####delete empty lines

sed '/^\s*$/d'

sed 's/^$/d'

#####delete last line

sed '$d'

#####delete last character from end of file

sed -i '$ s/.$//' filename

#####add string to end of file (e.g. "]")

sed '$s/$/]/' filename

#####add string to beginning of every line (e.g. bbo)

sed -e 's/^/bbo/' file

#####add string to end of each line (e.g. "}")

sed -e 's/$/\}\]/' filename

#####add \n every nth character (e.g. every 4th character)

sed 's/.\{4\}/&\n/g'

#####concatenate/combine/join files with a seperator and next line (e.g seperate by ",")

sed -s '$a,' *.json > all.json

#####substitution (e.g. replace A by B)

sed 's/A/B/g' filename

#####select lines start with string (e.g. bbo)

sed -n '/^@S/p'

//catch 0: start; 3: step

#####print every odd # lines

sed -n '1~2p'

#####print every third line including the first line

sed -n '1p;0~3p'

#####remove leading whitespace and tabs

sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//'

//notice a whitespace before '\t'!!

#####remove only leading whitespace

sed 's/ *//'

//notice a whitespace before '*'!!

#####remove ending commas

sed 's/,$//g'

#####add a column to the end

sed "s/$/\t$i/"

//$i is the valuable you want to add e.g. add the filename to every last column of the file

for i in $(ls);do sed -i "s/$/\t$i/" $i;done

#####add extension of filename to last column

for i in T000086_1.02.n T000086_1.02.p;do sed "s/$/\t${i/*./}/" $i;done >T000086_1.02.np

#####remove newline\ nextline

sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n//g'

#####print a number of lines (e.g. line 10th to line 33 rd)

sed -n '10,33p' <filename

#####change delimiter

4 0

fileB:

1 0

2 1

3 0

4 1

awk -v OFS='\t' 'NR=FNR{a[$1]=$2;next} NF {print $1,((a[$1]=$2)? $2:"0")}' fileA fileB

2 1

3 0

4 0

#####round all numbers of file (e.g. 2 significant figure)

    \printf "%s%.2f", substr($0,0,RSTART-1),substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH)
    \$0=substr($0, RSTART+RLENGTH)
    \}
    \print
    \}'
