This subsets a matrix based on column header.
My original purpose was for use in subsetting genome matrices which look like:
Chromosome Coordinate sample1 sample2 sample3
Running the program
python Main.py -i inputFile.txt -d "/t" -c columnHeaders.txt -o subsettedMatrix.txtUsage: python Main.py [options]
-inputFile, -i The matrix file in text format.
-delimiter, -d The matrix file delimiter
(e.g. "\t" for tab, "," for comma).
-columnHeader, -c A text file with column headers to use for subsetting.
Single column, one header per line.
-outputFile, -o The output file for the resulting subsetted matrix.
This removes rows from a matrix that contain the same value across all columns, keeping only rows that are not homogenous across columns.
This transposes columns to rows, rows to columns.
This takes a matrix that looks like
[sampleID locus1 locus2 locus3]
And generates a multi-fasta text file that looks like
