    Command for vlookup function

    Hello experts,

    I have large text files that need to be arranged using a function like excel's vlookup. I have been playing with awk command but didn't really come up with a solution. Could anyone please help me out? Below are my datasets and expected output. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    <File 1>
    contig-100_1 5
    contig-100_30 10
    contig-100_50 20
    contig-100_40 15
    contig-100_60 25

    <File 2>
    contig-100_1 "Bacteria"
    contig-100_50 "Bacteria A"
    contig-100_60 "Bacteria A, Fungi B"

    <Expected output>
    contig-100_1 5 Bacteria
    contig-100_30 10 NA
    contig-100_50 20 Bacteria A
    contig-100_40 15 NA
    contig-100_60 25 Bacteria A, Fungi B

      Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
      by SEQadmin2



      CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

      Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

      The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
