Bioawk is written by Heng Li, and it can handle formats like:
bed:
1:chrom 2:start 3:end 4:name 5:score 6:strand 7:thickstart 8:thickend 9:rgb 10:blockcount 11:blocksizes 12:blockstarts
sam:
1:qname 2:flag 3:rname 4:pos 5:mapq 6:cigar 7:rnext 8:pnext 9:tlen 10:seq 11:qual
vcf:
1:chrom 2:pos 3:id 4:ref 5:alt 6:qual 7:filter 8:info
gff:
1:seqname 2:source 3:feature 4:start 5:end 6:score 7:filter 8:strand 9:group 10:attribute
fastx: 1:name 2:seq 3:qual 4:comment
I followed the tutorial here https://github.com/vsbuffalo/bioawk-tutorial
my first try did not work
tommy@tommy-ThinkPad-T420:~$ git clone git://github.com/lh3/bioawk.git && cd bioawk && make && mv awk bioawk && sudo cp bioawk /usr/local/bin/

yacc -d awkgram.y
make: yacc: Command not found
make: *** [ytab.o] Error 127
It looks like I do not have yacc or bison (the GNU
equivalent) installed.
tommy@tommy-ThinkPad-T420:~/bioawk$ sudo synaptic
search yacc, and install the bison.
after that, it worked.
tommy@tommy-ThinkPad-T420:~/bioawk$ bioawk
