Suppose you have two nested lists, X and Y. A sample element of X is: ['NM_032291', '67000041', '67000051', 'chr1', '+']
Another sample element of X is: ['NM_001097', '51183080', '51183635', 'chr22', '+'] A sample element of Y is: ['chr1', '67000046'] Another sample element of Y is: ['chrY', '59033300'] The objective is to identify whether the second element of an element of Y (e.g. 67000046) lies between the the second and third elements of an element of X (e.g. 67000041 and 67000051). Eventually, one should end up with a modified version of Y, let us say modY, which is a filtered version of Y in which the second element of an element of modY is contained within the second and third elements of an element of X. Any suggestions on how i should be going about implementing this?
