Is there a publically avaliable database of clinically known variants? What we do is upload a list of genes and get the known pathogenic variants in this gene. Currently we do this manually every 3 moths with HGMD, but that is getting too dificult and I would like to automate that process. Thank you.

Well, HGMD Professional is still the best source of data on germline mutations. Similar type of information could be found in OMIM and ClinVar as well, however HGMD is manually curated and just comparing numbers it has about 150k mutations while OMIM has 22k and ClinVar 67k. It could take a lot of effort to regularly extract information in bulk from online version of HGMD as you do with gene panels, but that's what download version is for. It comes as simple relational database (MySQL) and querying it is very easy.

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...-

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...-
