  • Website to find variants associated with a disease

    Hi all,

    I'll be moving out to the Bay area soon to work for Amazon, so quite a shift in my career path. There is a project I was working on that I didn't get as far as I would like but thought I would share with the group in case it could be of some use or interest. I'll try to continue developing it but probably as a weekend warrior project . . .



    Basically, it searches Pubmed abstracts for genes and variants that are associated with your search term, taking a market basket analysis approach (e.g. abstracts that contained Gout also contained the gene SLC2A9). For example, if you enter cutis laxa, it will give you a ranked list of genes and variants that co-occur with that term. You can even use wildcards in the search (such as alzheimer* ) or compound queries, such as the following

    "Lynch syndrome" OR "hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer" OR "HNPCC" OR "familial adenomatous polyposis" OR "MUTYH-associated polyposis" OR "hereditary diffuse gastric cancer" OR "Cowden syndrome" OR "Li-Fraumeni syndrome" OR "Peutz-Jeghers syndrome" OR "Muir-Torre syndrome" OR "Turcot syndrome" OR "Juvenile Polyposis syndrome"

    This returns 49 genes, 13 of which correspond to the 13 genes on the ColoSeq panel, and 8 of those 13 are in my top 10 ( http://web.labmed.washington.edu/tests/genetics/COLOSEQ ).

    By clicking on a gene or variant, you can also see the supporting papers.

    I see this as being able to help (1) choose genes for a panel, (2) annotate genes with variants from the literature, and (3) identify genes that one might want to scrutinize especially carefully when studying a particular disease.

    Let me know your trials and tribulations with this search engine.

    Thanks! And I hope to meet some of you guys and gals when I get out there.

    Justin

    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...
