  • Open and read files in python

    Hi!

    I extracted mapped and unmapped reads of different BAM files using a bash script.
    Now, I want to compare which reads are in which BAM files in python.

    I imagined to use python sets (union, intersection) to do that.
    Unfortunately, I have only little python experience.
    I already could write a script that does the job, but without using loops etc for automation.

    I tried this:

    import glob

    path = "/path/to/files/*.txt"
    list_of_files=glob.glob(path)

    Now, I want to read in all lines of the files using readlines(), and store the output in separate variables to create sets using the .update() function.
    Do you have an idea how to do that?

    Greetings

    Why you are using Python?
    You can look for Biopython module. There is a function to import your seq and alignment.

    The same can be made (with more options) in linux terminal w/ STAR algorithm.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
