@marianattestad My most used CL pattern that few modern programmers know about (because no one learns perl now):

samtools view some.bam | perl -ane 'print "$F[0]\t$1\n" if /\tNM:i:(\d+)/'

It gives the edit dist of each mapped read. Just learning this bit of perl can be very useful.

@BenLangmead @strnr @brent_p Thanks Ben, I'll share credit with @dnb_hopkins for the naming as well (among other contributions to Megadepth).

4th Crusade or when Turks finally did for Byzantium? Looks like Turks in pic, but 4th Crusade fits cap. better. Beer was involved either way https://t.co/AwuCq4oCQ6

It's only fitting for my first tweet to suggest a variation of Peter Thiel: "We wanted teleportation, instead we got 140 characters."
