I am working on Next gen sequenced data. I have used sam tools for the analysis and completed generating variant pileup. Can anyone suggest how to add dbSNP annotations and do cSNP prediction using samtools?? Or can you even suggest any other tool to do this??

I use a program called annovar. It'll convert vcfs or pileups from samtools and convert them into its own format. It downloads the gene and protein data from UCSC, so you'd have to construct your own data if you were working in an organism that wasn't in their database. I think annovar can probably handle a dbSNP file too. Or Bedtools could intersect your vcf with a .bed file of dbSNP snps.
I work with bacteria, and I cobbled one together by blastxing altered sequence against proteins, and parsing the output.

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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
