Organize Data into Different Matrices by Column entry

Hey guys,
I have a massive set of data that covers all 23 human chromosomes. Although I'd like it to be divided based on the chromosome. The first column reads 'chr1'....all the way down to 'chr23' for approximately 1300000 entries, so I want to divide the matrix into separate ones based on that feature. Something like de-concatenate...I'm just not sure how to do that as I import it, since I think it would be faster to combine the two steps. The file has no header rows, and is tab delimited. All other columns contain doubles.
I appreciate the advice!
Kevin

You could read in the entire data set into a 1300000 x 23 matrix A using DLMREAD and then do
Acell=num2cell(A,1);
Then each Acell{i} will be a column of your data, available as it s own matrix.
