Hello group,
I have a data like this in tab-delim text.
1427021_s_at chr7:102786983-102794499 (+)

First column represents the identifier.
Second column representes the position of the
identifier on genome. Because many people might not
understand genome, lets consider it as a sequence
composed of A, T , G and C with lengths of thousands
of thousands of ATGCs.
The analogy is something like:
Jill am driving from washington DC to Miami on I-95
South.
Jack is driving from Miami to DC on I-95 North.
If we scale the I-95 South as (-) (negative direction)
from 0-1000000000 units (arbitary) and similarly, I-95
North as (+) (positive direction) again from 0-500,000
arbitarary units.
My aims is to find if Jack and Jill happen to be in
Florence, south carolina then coordinates (considering
that they are apart 1 or 2 miles or units distance)
then they would be something like :
Jack chr7:102863841-102887410 (+)
Jill chr7:102886711-102899995 (-)
Then they are falling in the same range of coordinates
(1028,63841-1028,87410)(1028,86711-1028,99995)
(between 86711 and 87410).
I want to find such instances of jack and jill's that
fall in the same ranges and they should be in opposite
to each other.
Truely, I always flunk and my mind gets blackedout
when I see these number ranges. I do not know how to
write : check "if a range of numbers fall in the other
range of numbers" condition.
tutors could any one help me please.
thank u
srini
