It finds all the contigs in humanmap.fpc that contains a clone from the input, and it outputs all the clones from the 'hit' contigs. The version of humanmap.fpc used is assembled here at the Sanger Centre using a cutoff 1e-10. The chromosome number and associated fpc directory must be registered in this perl script. The destination directory is also specified in the script. The input file is a list of clone names.
Output Following the header is a list of clones from the input file and the walking clones.
The walking clones are all the clones from the 'hit' contigs and have a 'W' prefixed to their names. The script reads all the files in GetClones and writes the bands and size files for the appropriate clones to the directories specified in the header. If from ace2get only new clones are processed. When reading a clone from GetClones directory, if a clone has already been processed for a chromosome, it is ignored. Hence, all files are first removed from the Bands and Sizes directory and then a new updated set it written.
