  • Nonsynonymous SNP (nsSNP) discovery tools?

    Hi,
    I have analyzed my Illumina data using Mosaik and generated a list of SNPs using Gigabayes. I would like to look for nonsynonymous SNPs so I filtered the data to limit the analysis to SNPs within Exons (approximately 1500 SNPs). I am now trying to identify which SNPs cause amino acid substitutions (nsSNPs). Are there any analysis tools or pipelines to automate the process of SNP to amino acid substitutions calling? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    -John

    We use SeqWare: http://sourceforge.net/projects/seqware/ for our whole genome human resequencing. Let me know what you choose so we can also check the other options out.

      I've written some software that can do this for bacteria. Doesn't work with eukaryotes though, various scalability issues yet to be overcome. http://www.vicbioinformatics.com/software.nesoni.shtml

      The approach I took was just to generate all the before and after protein sequences and look for differences. Pretty easy to do in BioPerl/BioPython/etc.

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

        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...
