could anyone please explain how to count # of SNPs in 454HCDiffs file?
-

If memory serves me correctly each SNP has a header line starting with a >, so:
grep -e "^>" 454HCDiffs.txt | wc -l
Should do the trick. -
You should bear in mind that this would count indels as well as SNPs.Comment

many thanks nickloman,
However it would be thankful if I could count each type separately (SNPs & INDELs).

OK, well you could do something like this to count SNPs:
grep -e "^>" 454HCDiffs.txt | awk '($4 ~ /^[ATGC]$/ && $5 ~ /^[ATGC]$/)' | wc -l
The difference between that and the previous recipe will be the indels.Comment

Thanks nickloman, I really appreciate your help.

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...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
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.

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.
