  • filter sequence by length

    Hi,

    To filter sequencesby length from a fasta file, I'm using now a bioperl script. But is there an another method (faster) ?

    here's my little script


    Code:
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    
    use warnings;
    use strict;
    use Bio::SeqIO;
    
    
    my $file = $ARGV[0]; 
    my $min = $ARGV[1];
    my $max = $ARGV[2];
    my $out = $ARGV[3];
    
    open (FILE, ">>$out") or die ("Error : Cannot open file $out for writing..!\n");
    
    my $seq_in  = Bio::SeqIO->new( -format => 'fasta',-file => $file);
    
    while( my $seq1 = $seq_in->next_seq() ) {	
    	
    	my $id  = $seq1->primary_id;
    	chomp $id;
    	my $seq = $seq1->seq;
    	chomp $seq;
    	my $lseq = length($seq);
    	if($lseq>=$min && $lseq <=$max){
    		print FILE ">",$id,"\n",$seq,"\n";	
    	}
    }

    You could try Galaxy:

    Galaxy is a community-driven web-based analysis platform for life science research.


    It's very fast and you can do different type of analysis.

      Thanks,

      is it possible to have this tool in command line ?

        From Galaxy i don't think is possible. But probably if you search you may find a similar script.

          With Biopieces (www.biopieces.org) you can do:

          Code:
          read_fasta -i test.fna | grab -e 'SEQ_LEN > 10' | grab -e 'SEQ_LEN <= 100' | write_fasta -x
          Cheers,

            This is a command line tool that is included in the Galaxy distribution. I've included the code below.

            To get any tool that is included with Galaxy, follow the instructions at http://getgalaxy.org/. Tools are defined in the tools directory. Many will have dependencies (although the one below does not).

            Code:
            #!/usr/bin/env python
            """
            Input: fasta, minimal length, maximal length
            Output: fasta
            Return sequences whose lengths are within the range.

                Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
                by seqadmin




                The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

                Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
                by seqadmin


                Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
