For example, you can run a search in Assembly and use check boxes (see left side of screenshot below) to refine the set of genome assemblies of interest. Then, just open the “Download assemblies” menu, choose the source database (GenBank or RefSeq), choose the file type, and start the download. An archive file will be saved to your computer that can be expanded into a folder containing your selected genome data files.

We describe a new method for predicting the ancestral order and orientation of those intervals from their observed adjacencies in modern species. We combine the results from this method with data from chromosome painting experiments to produce a map of an early mammalian genome that accounts for 96.8% of the available human genome sequence data. The precision is further increased by mapping inversions as small as 31 bp. Analysis of the predicted evolutionary breakpoints in the human lineage confirms certain published observations but disagrees with others. Although only a few mammalian genomes are currently sequenced to high precision, our theoretical analyses and computer simulations indicate that our results are reasonably accurate and that they will become highly accurate in the foreseeable future. Our methods were developed as part of a project to reconstruct the genome sequence of the last ancestor of human, dogs, and most other placental mammals;

Awk is a programming language that is specifically designed for quickly manipulating space delimited data. Although you can achieve all its functionality with Perl, awk is simpler in many practical cases.

Why awk? You can replace a pipeline of 'stuff | grep | sed | cut...' with a single call to awk. For a simple script, most of the timelag is in loading these apps into memory, and it's much faster to do it all with one. This is ideal for something like an openbox pipe menu where you want to generate something on the fly. You can use awk to make a neat one-liner for some quick job in the terminal, or build an awk section into a shell script. You can find a lot of online tutorials, but here I will only show a few examples which cover most of bioinformatician daily uses of awk.

choose rows where column 3 is larger than column 5:

awk '$3>$5' input.txt > output.txt

extract column 2,4,5:

awk '{print $2,$4,$5}' input.txt > output.txt

awk 'BEGIN{OFS="\t"}{print $2,$4,$5}' input.txt

show rows between 20th and 80th:

awk 'NR>=20&&NR<=80' input.txt > output.txt

calculate the average of column 2:

awk '{x+=$2}END{print x/NR}' input.txt

regex (egrep):

awk '/^test[0-9]+/' input.txt

calculate the sum of column 2 and 3 and put it at the end of a row or replace the first column:

awk '{print $0,$2+$3}' input.txt

awk '{$1=$2+$3;print}' input.txt

join two files on column 1:

awk 'BEGIN{while((getline<"file1.txt")>0)l[$1]=$0}$1 in l{print $0"\t"l[$1]}' file2.txt > output.txt

count number of occurrence of column 2 (uniq -c):

awk '{l[$2]++}END{for (x in l) print x,l[x]}' input.txt

apply "uniq" on column 2, only printing the first occurrence (uniq):

awk '!($2 in l){print;l[$2]=1}' input.txt

count different words (wc):

awk '{for(i=1;i!=NF;++i)c[$i]++}END{for (x in c) print x,c[x]}' input.txt

deal with simple CSV:

awk -F, '{print $1,$2}'

substitution (sed is simpler in this case):

awk '{sub(/test/, "no", $0);print}' input.txt

OK now here's where to read this stuff properly explained. roll

Two thorough tutorials:

A famous list of useful one-liners - though they're short, many are quite tricky:

And some nice explanations of those one-liners. After reading this you'll have a pretty good grasp!
