I have two matrix. The first one is a genotype matrix in which:
- Rows represent locus
 - Columns represent samples
 - Each value represents a genotype which could be either P1/P1, P2/P2, P1/P2 or NA if the genotype is not determined.
 
The second matrix is a matrix of counts. As the first one:
- Rows represent locus
 - Columns represent genotypes
 - Each value represent of a count in each locus for each sample.
 
I would like to use the genotypic information to treat the second matrix. The aim is to replace the count value with NA when the genotype is not determined (i.e NA).
Here is an example of my two matrix:
-Genotypic Matric

What my script should give:
CDS             BC1-III     BC1-IV      BC10-II     
LOC105031928    175         181.5       99

I could read the genotypic matrix line by line and link the two matrix by their CDS as ID but i want to make sure that one value is specifi to its CDS and its sample. I am beginner to perl and by now i don't know yet how to extract from a matrix the header and row information and then assign them to one value. Thanks for your help.
PS: This is what I have done from now:
open(GENOTYPE, '<', "$matrix_geno") or die ("Cannot open $matrix_geno\n");
my %hash_Loc_line = ();
while (my $line = <GENOTYPE>)
{
    chomp $line;
    next if ($line =~ /^CDS/);
    my @columns = split (/\s+/, $line);
    my $nb_col = scalar(@columns)-1;
    my $locus = $columns[0];
    my @BC = @columns[1..$nb_col];
    foreach my $BC (@BC)
    {
        push @{$hash_Loc_line{$locus}}, $BC;
    }
}
                    
                
                
Hi Amy,
If an answer was helpful you should upvote it, if the answer resolved your question you should mark it as accepted.
Have you tried anything? From your description it seems you want to simply have NA in the same locations as Table 1 and values from Table 2 otherwise. That is very easy to solve in R for example.
Yes I'm currently working on it but still can't find the right way to solve the problem. Unfortunately i must write the script only in perl. I'am going to add in my post what I did from now. Thanks.
So this is an assignment? Because it would be a one-liner in R, that's a pitty.
Yes it is. Unfortunately :(
