  • Problem running ANNOVAR: no avsift table

    I'm trying to run the ANNOVAR script summarize_annovar.pl, but I'm having trouble downloading the avsift table. As per the instructions, I'm using:

    Code:
    $ mkdir hg19
    $ annotate_variation.pl -buildver hg19 -downdb avsift hg19
    
    NOTICE: The --sift_threshold is set as 0.05 by default
    NOTICE: Web-based checking to see whether ANNOVAR new version is available ... Done
    NOTICE: Downloading annotation database http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/avsift.txt.gz ... Failed
    WARNING: Some files cannot be downloaded, including http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/avsift.txt.gz
    Which tells me that the avsift.txt.gz file doesn't exist. When looking at http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/golde...hg19/database/, there is no file that matches the pattern "sift".

    Where can I find this data?

    The following just worked for me (note, I have the previous version of Annovar)

    $ annotate_variation.pl -buildver hg19 -downdb avsift ann_test/
    NOTICE: The --sift_threshold is set as 0.05 by default
    NOTICE: the --webfrom argument is set to 'annovar' automatically for -dbtype of 'avsift'

      Looks like the new version tries to link to UCSC rather than openbioinformatics.org... I'll email Kai Wang about this.

        I used the following command:
        Code:
        annotate_variation.pl -downdb -webfrom annovar -buildver hg19 avsift humandb/

          Yep, I missed the -webfrom argument. Thanks.

            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...
