  • Variant calling with GATK between two cell lines

    I recently got some whole genome sequencing data from my platform that would constitute some validation data for my other RNA-seq data. The idea was that the platform would do all the bioinformatic analyses for this data, so that I could keep my focus on RNA rather than DNA, but it turns out that they don't routinely do the last part of the analysis that I want: finding any differing mutations between my two sample types. I now have to do that myself, so I come here for help.

    I have two isogenic cell lines, theoretically differing in a single mutation, and that is what we want to confirm (or that, at least, any other mutatations are in non-functional or otherwise non-relevant regions). As far as I understand it, the platform has done the alignment and the heaviest parts of the analysis, as well as a variant calling relative the reference. I'm really only interested in the difference between the cell lines, and not between cell lines / reference.

    I was pointed towards the GenotypeGVCFs function of GATK. If I understand it correctly, what I do is input my two samples GVCFs and run it. I'm not sure why I need a reference, though. I made some rudimentary code:

    Code:
    java -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar \
    	-T GenotypeGVCFs \
            -nt 16 \
    	-R .../human_g1k_v37.fasta \
    	--variant .../sample1.clean.dedup.recal.bam.genomic.vcf \
    	--variant .../sample2.clean.dedup.recal.bam.genomic.vcf \
    	-o .../output.vcf
    Is this what I'm looking for? If not, what am I missing, or am I completely off course?

    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...
