in thread Comparing a large set of DNA sequences
Here's what I tried:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my %H; open my $FH, '<', 'DNA_strings.dat' or die $!; while (<$FH>) { s/\s+$//; for my $i (0 .. length($_)-1) { my $k = $_; substr($k,$i,1) = '*'; push @{$H{$k}}, $_; } } for my $k (sort keys %H) { if ($#{$H{$k}} > 1) { print "$k\t", join(",\n\t\t", @{$H{$k}}), "\n"; } }
A quick experiment with a short file:
$ cat DNA_strings.dat CTGAG CGAGT ACGCT TATAC CTGAA GGAGC ATACA AAAAA ACAAA AGAAA AATAA AAAGA ACCAA AGCAC CCACG GCCAT AGCAA GGCAT GTTTG $ perl DNA_cmp.pl A*AAA: AAAAA, ACAAA, AGAAA A*CAA: ACCAA, AGCAA AA*AA: AAAAA, AATAA AAA*A: AAAAA, AAAGA AC*AA: ACAAA, ACCAA AG*AA: AGAAA, AGCAA AGCA*: AGCAC, AGCAA CTGA*: CTGAG, CTGAA G*CAT: GCCAT, GGCAT
It seems pretty fast, too. It took less than a minute to scan through 100,000 20-character strings, but it didn't find anything. (gen_random_strings.pl is on my my scratchpad)
$ perl gen_random_strings.pl 100000 20 20 ACGT >DNA_strings.dat $ time perl DNA_cmp.pl real 0m47.659s user 0m46.395s sys 0m1.252s
Update: I tried to make this node a reply to the OP, but for some reason, it kept failing on me, and when I'd refresh, it would show my node replacing BrowserUk's node. It was odd looking...

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
