Update: Changed chunk_size to '2M'.
Update: Added full example.
Update: Added missing tr line to trim white space.
For the spirit of Perl and Bioinformaticians at large, the following does the same thing by utilizing the record separator option in MCE. The "\n>" is a special case which anchors ">" at the start of the line. Workers receive records beginning with ">" and ending in "\n".
The following demonstration is fast for small and large sequences. A chunk_size greater than 8192 means to read at least the number of bytes. Perl will read until the record separator. A worker may receive 1 or several records depending on the size of the record(s).
use strict;
use warnings;
use MCE::Flow;
use MCE::Shared;
mce_open my $out_fh, '>', \*STDOUT or die "open error: $!\n";
mce_flow {
max_workers => 4,
chunk_size => '2m',
input_data => "input_file.fasta",
RS => "\n>",
},
sub {
my ( $mce, $chunk_ref, $chunk_id ) = @_;
my ( $name, $output );
for ( @{ $chunk_ref } ) {
/^>(\w+)/; $name = $1;
tr/\t\r\n //d; # trim white space
while ( $_ =~ /(?<=(.....))CCCC(.{10})AGA(?=(.....))/g ) {
$output .= "$name: $1, $2, $3\n";
}
}
print $out_fh $output if length($output);
};
The following demonstration was created mainly as a template for extracting the seq_id, seq_desc, and sequence separately and doing so with low memory consumption. Basically, the whole header line is trimmed from the record leaving just sequence in $_ without Perl making an extra copy.
use strict;
use warnings;
use MCE::Flow;
use MCE::Shared;
mce_open my $out_fh, '>', \*STDOUT or die "open error: $!\n";
mce_flow {
max_workers => 4,
chunk_size => '2m',
input_data => "input_file.fasta",
RS => "\n>",
},
sub {
my ( $mce, $chunk_ref, $chunk_id ) = @_;
my ( $pos, $hdr, $seq_id, $seq_desc, $output );
for ( @{ $chunk_ref } ) {
$pos = index($_, "\n") + 1;
$hdr = substr($_, 0, $pos - 1);
# skip the first record, e.g. comment at the top of the file
next if ( $chunk_id == 1 && substr($hdr, 0, 1) ne '>' );
# extract seq_id and seq_desc
$hdr =~ /^>(\w+)\s*([^\r\n]*)/;
$seq_id = $1, $seq_desc = $2;
# $_ becomes sequence, without making an extra copy
substr($_, 0, $pos, '');
# trim any white space in sequence
tr/\t\r\n //d;
# for printing ">header\nsequence\n", uncomment the next 3 lines
# ( length $seq_desc )
# ? print ">$seq_id $seq_desc\n$_\n"
# : print ">$seq_id\n$_\n";
# loop through match patterns
while ( /(?<=(.....))CCCC(.{10})AGA(?=(.....))/g ) {
$output .= "$seq_id: $1, $2, $3\n";
}
}
print $out_fh $output if length($output);
};

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>

-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
