Very few people here are doctors in medicine. I certainly am not. I know how to munch data files, but my knowledge of chromosomes extend as far as "they exist" and "i have some of those".

Could you provide a short example file(s) and a (hand crafted) file of the expected output? Also, a non-scientist explanation for us software developers in the form of "column A of this file example1 needs to get concatenated to column B of file example2 if column C in example2 matches part of column X in example2". E.g. a bit more abstracted/technical without requiring 10 years of university work.

perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
