in reply to Re^2: How can I count the number of substitutions of one letter in a string by another letter in the other string?
in thread How can I count the number of substitutions of one letter in a string by another letter in the other string?

your solution is missing some possibilities.

Well, I implemented (on purpose) exactly the list the OP asked for.  It can of course be extended, if so desired:

my @cnt = qw(A2G G2A C2T T2C A2T A2C G2T G2C ...);

Alternatively, simply compute the full matrix of count routines:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my %cnt; my @c = qw(A T C G); for my $c1 (@c) { for my $c2 (@c) { next if $c1 eq $c2; (my $t = $c2) =~ tr/ATCG/HRDZ/; my $x = $c1 ^ $t; $cnt{$c1."2".$c2} = eval "sub { \$_[0] =~ tr/$x/$x/ }"; } } my $seq1 = 'AAAACCCCGGGGTTTT'; my $seq2 = 'ACGTACGTACGTACGT'; (my $tmp = $seq2) =~ tr/ATCG/HRDZ/; my $diff = $seq1 ^ $tmp; print join("; ", map { $_."=".$cnt{$_}->($diff) } sort keys %cnt ), ". +"; __END__ A2C=1; A2G=1; A2T=1; C2A=1; C2G=1; C2T=1; G2A=1; G2C=1; G2T=1; T2A=1; +T2C=1; T2G=1.
