[Seqan-dev] Read GCT gene expression matrix

[Kamil Slowikowski <kslowikowski@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'd like to try using SeqAn for my research because it seems you can read some standard formats like GFF, GTF, BED, BAM, etc.

Could you show me an example of how to read a GCT file?

I saw that there is a Matrix class

http://docs.seqan.de/seqan/1.4.1/CLASS_Matrix.html

so perhaps you could show a simple example of reading a GCT file, accessing rows, columns, and individual elements, and perhaps writing a GCT file?

I'd be happy to try writing this myself, but I wonder if you already have some code for this task, so I thought I should ask.

Thanks a lot!

Kamil
