    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.

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
