	<description><![CDATA[<p>Illumina, Inc. announced Tuesday that its new HiSeq X Ten Sequencing System has broken the &ldquo;sound barrier&rdquo; of human genomics by enabling the $1,000 genome. &ldquo;This platform includes dramatic technology breakthroughs that enable researchers to undertake studies of unprecedented scale by providing the throughput to sequence tens of thousands of human whole genomes in a single year in a single lab,&rdquo; Illumina stated.</p><p>Initial customers for the HiSeq X Ten System, which will ship in Q1 2014, include Macrogen, based in Seoul, South Korea and its CLIA laboratory in Rockville, Maryland, the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, Australia.</p><p>&ldquo;For the first time, it looks like it will be possible to deliver the $1,000 genome, which is tremendously exciting,&rdquo; said Eric Lander, founding director of the Broad Institute and a professor of biology at MIT. &ldquo;The HiSeq X Ten should give us the ability to analyze complete genomic information from huge sample populations. Over the next few years, we have an opportunity to learn as much about the genetics of human disease as we have learned in the history of medicine.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;The HiSeq X Ten is an ideal platform for scientists and institutions focused on the discovery of genotypic variation to enable a deeper understanding of human biology and genetic disease,&rdquo; Illumina stated. &ldquo;It can sequence tens of thousands of samples annually with high-quality, high-coverage sequencing, delivering a comprehensive catalog of human variation within and outside coding regions.&rdquo;</p><p>HiSeq X Ten utilizes a number of advanced design features to generate massive throughput. Patterned flow cells, which contain billions of nanowells at fixed locations, combined with a new clustering chemistry deliver a significant increase in data density (6 billion clusters per run). Using state-of-the art optics and faster chemistry, HiSeq X Ten can process sequencing flow cells more quickly than ever before &mdash; generating a 10x increase in daily throughput when compared to current HiSeq 2500 performance.</p><p>The HiSeq X Ten is sold as a set of 10 or more ultra-high throughput sequencing systems, each generating up to 1.8 terabases (Tb) of sequencing data in less than three days or up to 600 gigabases (Gb) per day, per system, providing the throughput to sequence tens of thousands of high-quality, high-coverage genomes per year. Illumina says the $1,000 includes typical instrument depreciation, DNA extraction, library preparation, and estimated labor.</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Awk for Bioinformatician and computational biologist]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Awk is a programming language which allows easy manipulation of structured data and is mostly used for pattern scanning and processing. It searches one or more files to see if they contain lines that match with the specified patterns and then perform associated actions. The basic syntax is:</p><blockquote><p><br />awk '/pattern1/ {Actions}<br /> /pattern2/ {Actions}' file</p></blockquote><p><br />The working of Awk is as follows<br />Awk reads the input files one line at a time.<br />For each line, it matches with given pattern in the given order, if matches performs the corresponding action.<br />If no pattern matches, no action will be performed.<br />In the above syntax, either search pattern or action are optional, But not both.<br />If the search pattern is not given, then Awk performs the given actions for each line of the input.<br />If the action is not given, print all that lines that matches with the given patterns which is the default action.<br />Empty braces with out any action does nothing. It wont perform default printing operation.<br />Each statement in Actions should be delimited by semicolon.<br />Say you have data.tsv with the following contents:</p><p><br />$ cat data/test.tsv<br />contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2 ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5 ACTTTATATATT <br />By default Awk prints every line from the file.</p><p><br />$ awk '{print;}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2 ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5 ACTTTATATATT <br />We print the line which matches the pattern contig3</p><p><br />$ awk '/contig3/' data/test.tsv<br />contig3 ACTTATATATATATA<br />Awk has number of builtin variables. For each record i.e line, it splits the record delimited by whitespace character by default and stores it in the $n variables. If the line has 5 words, it will be stored in $1, $2, $3, $4 and $5. $0 represents the whole line. NF is a builtin variable which represents the total number of fields in a record.</p><p><br />$ awk '{print $1","$2;}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1,ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2,ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5,ACTTTATATATT</p><p>$ awk '{print $1","$NF;}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1,ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2,ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5,ACTTTATATATT</p><p><br />Awk has two important patterns which are specified by the keyword called BEGIN and END. The syntax is as follows:</p><blockquote><p>BEGIN { Actions before reading the file}<br />{Actions for everyline in the file} <br />END { Actions after reading the file }</p></blockquote><p><br />For example,<br />$ awk 'BEGIN{print "Header,Sequence"}{print $1","$2;}END{print "-------"}' data/test.tsv<br />Header,Sequence<br />contig1,ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2,ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4,ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5,ACTTTATATATT<br />------- <br />We can also use the concept of a conditional operator in print statement of the form print CONDITION ? PRINT_IF_TRUE_TEXT : PRINT_IF_FALSE_TEXT. For example, in the code below, we identify sequences with lengths &gt; 14:</p><p>$ awk '{print (length($2)&gt;14) ? $0"&gt;14" : $0"&lt;=14";}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG&gt;14<br />contig2 ACTTTATATATT&lt;=14<br />contig3 ACTTATATATATATA&gt;14<br />contig4 ACTTATATATATATA&gt;14<br />contig5 ACTTTATATATT&lt;=14<br />We can also use 1 after the last block {} to print everything (1 is a shorthand notation for {print $0} which becomes {print} as without any argument print will print $0 by default), and within this block, we can change $0, for example to assign the first field to $0 for third line (NR==3), we can use:</p><p>$ awk 'NR==3{$0=$1}1' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2 ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3<br />contig4 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5 ACTTTATATATT<br />You can have as many blocks as you want and they will be executed on each line in the order they appear, for example, if we want to print $1 three times (here we are using printf instead of print as the former doesn't put end-of-line character),</p><p>$ awk '{printf $1"\t"}{printf $1"\t"}{print $1}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 contig1 contig1<br />contig2 contig2 contig2<br />contig3 contig3 contig3<br />contig4 contig4 contig4<br />contig5 contig5 contig5 <br />Although, we can also skip executing later blocks for a given line by using next keyword:</p><p>$ awk '{printf $1"\t"}NR==3{print "";next}{print $1}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 contig1<br />contig2 contig2<br />contig3 <br />contig4 contig4<br />contig5 contig5</p><p>$ awk 'NR==3{print "";next}{printf $1"\t"}{print $1}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1 contig1<br />contig2 contig2</p><p>contig4 contig4<br />contig5 contig5<br />You can also use getline to load the contents of another file in addition to the one you are reading, for example, in the statement given below, the while loop will load each line from test.tsv into k until no more lines are to be read:</p><p>$ awk 'BEGIN{while((getline k &lt;"data/test.tsv")&gt;0) print "BEGIN:"k}{print}' data/test.tsv<br />BEGIN:contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />BEGIN:contig2 ACTTTATATATT<br />BEGIN:contig3 ACTTATATATATATA<br />BEGIN:contig4 ACTTATATATATATA<br />BEGIN:contig5 ACTTTATATATT<br />contig1 ACTGTCTGTCACTGTGTTGTGATGTTGTGTGTG<br />contig2 ACTTTATATATT<br />contig3 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig4 ACTTATATATATATA<br />contig5 ACTTTATATATT <br />You can also store data in the memory with the syntax VARIABLE_NAME[KEY]=VALUE which you can later use through for (INDEX in VARIABLE_NAME) command:</p><p>$ awk '{i[$1]=1}END{for (j in i) print j"&lt;="i[j]}' data/test.tsv<br />contig1&lt;=1<br />contig2&lt;=1<br />contig3&lt;=1<br />contig4&lt;=1<br />contig5&lt;=1</p>]]></description>
