Hello Kamlesh,

Another option is using R. You must input your data as vectors, create a list of your vectors and use the "intersect" and "Reduce" functions. Here is a brief example:

> a=c("A","B", "C")

>b=c("B","F","G")

>c=c("B","X","Y")

>Reduce(intersect, list(a,b,c))

You may enter the names of your 10 numerical/non-numerical sets instead of "a,b,c".

Good luck!!

You can do this simply with Python. It has a built-in datatype which allows you to define sets and perform common operations like intersection or difference.

Short example:

s1 = set(['A','B'])

s2 = set(['B','C'])

s3 = set(['B','D'])

s1.intersection(s2).intersection(s3)

=> set(['B'])

Hello Kamlesh,

First of all, you need to learn basics in LINUX/UNIX if you are going to do serious bioinfo work. If you are a beginer, its worth checking this short course by Korf lab: http://korflab.ucdavis.edu/unix_and_Perl/

If you would be happy with a quick answer, you may please provide a small sample data so that we can see what format it is and suggest you an answer.

Good luck!

I like both the solution that they provided to you both in python and R. Maybe is more comfortable and easy to use the R version, but this depend on which language you use.

If you're a Perl user, the Array::Utils module provides

an "intersect" function too...it works for non-numerical data
