  • merge two vcf files with different lengths

    Hi there,

    I have two very long files like:

    file1:

    Code:
    1 123
    1 125
    1 234
    2 123
    2 234
    ...
    file2:

    Code:
    1 123 0 1 0 0
    1 126 2 1 0 0
    1 234 2 3 0 0
    2 123 0 1 0 1
    2 138 1 1 1 1
    ...
    I want to get an output file like

    file3:

    Code:
    1 123 0 1 0 0
    1 125 0 0 0 0
    1 234 2 3 0 0
    2 123 0 1 0 1
    2 234 0 0 0 0
    ...
    The idea is:

    If field 1 and field 2 in file1 match the ones in file2, then print fields 1 and 2 in file1 and fields 3, 4, 5 and 6 in field2 together in one line in file3;

    If fields 1 and 2 in file1 do not have any match in file2, then print fields 1 and 2 and 0 0 0 0 in one line in file3.

    I am wondering if this can be done using awk or join or any other in linux? Since the files are very large, I really want it to be fast. Thanks a lot~~~

    Note: Column 2 in both file1 and file2 has only number values, but column 1 in both files may has characters too. The two columns are sorted. And in both files, this kind of situation will not happen, they exist only once.

    Code:
    1 123
    1 123
    ...
    Also, I only want to get the information of fields 3, 4, 5 and 6 in file2 for all lines the same in file1, if the lines in file1 exits in file2, then add the whole line to file3, if one line in file1 is not in file2, then add "0 0 0 0" for fields 3, 4, 5 and 6. But if one line in field 2 does not exit in file1, then just ignore the line. For example "1 126 2 1 0 0" is not in file1, then this line should not be added to file3.

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
