For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
to move in a line

Posted by revtopo (revtopo), 4 October 2007
hi there,

I have got a very large sequence, in which I have to move every 500bp a time and do some processing there.

I read that Bio::Location::Simple could help to define the start and the end position. but I would like to continue the walk through out the length of the sequence.

is there any effective way of doing this in simple perl?
thanks

Potentially, yes.   How is the sequences stored?  Is it in a file where you need to move forward 500 bytes at a time?     If so, you can use seek to move to a new location in the file and read to read a certain number of bytes.

Yes, it is  stored in a file. the sequence are around  30432563 basepairs long.

bioperl has may many modules and methods, I would think there would be one already written to do what you want, but you can certainly try reading the line in 500 byte chunks and process as desired. read() is the function you want to look at.
