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.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
