Hi andyBio! I'm a PerlMonk, not a BioMonk: you will have to lead me by the hand.

... I want to: ... delete reads ... [c]ount ... read[s] ... [d]elete non-unique reads.

What's a "read"? Also, the sequences in both records of your input example are 'ATGGCTATCGATT', but while the first example output record is 'ATGGCTATCGATT' (with four reads in it), the second output record (from the same input data) is 'TGCATGCGCTACG' with seven (!) reads. More confusion — at least for me. Please see I know what I mean. Why don't you?

Update: A Wikipedia link ([wp://...]) or suchlike to a discussion of what a "read" is might be helpful. Please see What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
