So you basically have some coordinates and want to check if anyone of the alleles matches the location given by the coordinates right ? But your coordinates don't tell about which chromosome these alleles are expected but what you can probably do is download the chromosomes in say FastA format and then use Bio::SeqIO using the subseq function.

here is the documentation to the module Bio::SeqIO

The subseq function requires a beginning and an end to what it is going to extract so probably you want to reformat your coordinates as follows

$seq->subseq(coordinate-1, coordinate+1)

to extract three bases with the middle one being the actual nucleotide you want to compare your alleles against.

Note that BioPerl can be a bit slow and therefore consider using something like sfetch or esl-sfetch which will again require providing beginning and end positions to what it is to extract

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
