#GREP UNIQUE ONLY HOW TO#

The philosophy behind these commands is that none of them really do anything all that impressive. Redirecting is not super intuitive, but it’s really powerful for stringing together these different commands, so you can do whatever you need to do. Try it out without the -l to see the full output. This command when used without any arguments would tell us the number of lines, words and characters in the file the -l flag specifies that we only want the number of lines.

$ grep NNNNNNNNNN Mov10_oe_1.subset.fq | wc -l A whole fastq record for a single read should appear similar to the try it out and put all the sequences that contain ‘NNNNNNNNNN’įrom all the files into another file called bad_reads.txt. Each sequencing read in a FASTQ file is associated with four lines of output, with the first line (header line) always starting with an symbol. We are going to practice searching with grep using our FASTQ files, which contain the sequencing reads (nucleotide sequences) output from a sequencing facility. Utility for searching plain-text data sets for lines matching a pattern or regular expression (regex). Search within files without even opening them, using grep.
