  • SNP calling - all variants 454 data

    Hi,
    Apologies if this has been discussed previously, if so could you point me to the thread.

    I've been given 454 data amplicon data, from which I would like to find SNPS, not just the dominant SNP but also lesser called snps. The aim is to identify mixed populations based on snp type and frequency.

    I have used gsMapper, aligning my sff file against a reference, outputting amongst other files the variant lists and bam alignments.

    The allvariant file, seems to pull out a few snps, primarily it seems the most dominant. Closer inspection of the snp, for example the reference = C, the snp called (65% of reads) = T, but to a lesser extent (say 5 %) = A. However only the C --> T was called.

    How can I pull that data out from the 454 output mapper output?
    i.e. the most frequent variant and also lesser variants from the same point, such as from the example above: the C-->T and C-->A, the number of reads and position.


    I have tried numerous snp callers, which can make use of bam files, such as varscan, bambino, atlas and freebayes.
    - Freebayes produces by far the most comprehensive output, but i find it difficult to determine a cutoff, as well as identify the lesser variants? Also, strangely, when i view the bam alignment with the reference fasta the freebayes identified snp doesn't exist at the position stated-- another question?

    So, in short any advice, pipelines, methodologies which anybody can suggest to help me identify snps (most frequent and less frequent from the same point) will be greatly appreciated!!!

    Thanks in advance

    454 Amplicon data -> gsAmplicon (AVA)? Have you tried that?

      Hi,
      Thanks for getting back to me.

      I've tried AVA, but its not really geared towards SNP discovery i.e. novel snps. Its a fair amount of manual scanning for novel snps, although for known snps it does work and i can pull that data out. However this relies on a novel snp discovery program finding snps of interest- which i'm struggling to find, after which you can plug them into the AVA setup and check for variants.

      I may be completely wrong with that .. but thats my experience of AVA...
      Thanks..

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
