    How many missense/nonsense per coding Mb?

    what is average number of missense/nonsense per Mb of coding DNA? I found 500 variants/Mb but that includes also synonimous.

    Please don't post the same question in multiple forums. That may not necessarily increase your chances of getting an answer.

    As for your question: That is going to be dependent on the genome etc. I don't think there can be a single answer.

      Yes, that sounds about right from the known human SNPs. That said, GenoMax is correct in that it will depend on the genome.

          For the human genome I use 1/100 in the non-coding regions and 1/1000 in the coding regions. Per individual of course. This tends to be roughly true. But it will differ between non coding regions and between genes.

            Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
            by SEQadmin2



            Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

            Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

            New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
            by SEQadmin2


            Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

            We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
