Hi,
I have a tab-delimited .txt file. However, instead of being arranged in columns the values appear like so:
Loci ID Lung proportion Heart proportion Kidney proportion^Mloc.40699281 51.70969181 15.88331538^Mloc.14331 5.255465101 86.04853954 8.695995364^M
The ^M seems to indicate where a new line should appear.
I then want to use this file for bedtools intersect with another bedfile containing the locus identities. Is this possible?
Thank you,
Which operating system do you use? Did you prepare this file using a Windows program? Looks like a incorrect newline character. I'm not sure if it will help but you could try dos2unix (it often does work)
