Hello,
I want to do an intersection of several exomes to find common mutations in these exomes. How can I do that?
Thanks

I like to import such data into R and use the set manipulation functions e.g.

Another way is to write Python scripts and use the sets library:

I am not good either in R or in Python. Is there maybe a command line tool I can use? My data is in .tab format.
Thank youComment

The easiest way for non-bioinformatics is to do this is in MS Access. There you can generate relationship based queries. E.g. column chromosome from table 1 has to match column chromosome from table 2 and column chromosome position from table 1 has to match column chromosome position from table 2.Comment

You can also try Galaxy. I've found it very useful for set manipulation via a web browser.Comment

@doc.ramses: I tried it with Excel, but I'll check out Acess.
@colindaven: I also use galaxy, nice website btw. Which feature can I use for intersection. Can you may tell me the workflow?
ThanksComment

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM -
Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM
