  • MNV nomenclature in VCFs

    We have been using GATK readbackphasing to phase multinucleotide variants in our generated data. The output from this walker just reports the bases affected by substitutions. However, we just noticed that we were not getting Cosmic annotation for a number of these, as Cosmic MNVs are reported with the preceding base in both the REF and ALT allele.

    For example, in our vcfs, a MNV is represented as: chr7 140453135 CA TT (This is an MNV leading to BRAF V600E). The Cosmic count is NA.
    In the COSMIC vcf, the same variant is chr7 140453134 TCA TTT ID=COSM475 and CNT=55.
    (There is the extra T before the variant bases and the position is one base before.)

    dbSNP is reporting in the same way (e.g., rs386627398 is ATAT > AAAC).

    Does anyone know of a program that will phase MNVs to match what seems to be the expected nomenclature?

    Thank you.

    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 on Modified Bases...

    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...
