  • snpEff database provenance and custom builds

    I am currently using snpEff to do effect prediction and I had a few questions. First, does someone have detailed information about the provenance of the data that was used to create the databases? I.e., where did he get the data to create all of those databases? I can't seem to find that on the website, and in the paper he mentions Ensembl, UCSC, etc. but no details.

    I am also trying to create a new database for snpEff using another annotation, and I am running into problems. The annotation is a xenoRefGene annotation from UCSC, which means that it is genes from other organisms mapped to our genome of interest. However, this means that some of the genes/gene families might be mapped to more than one location. This seems to be causing problems in building the database, because I get many errors that look like this when I run snpEfff build:

    Ignoring exon outside chromosome range (chromo length: 80642250). Exon: 6:82316946-82317137 'exon_chr7_82316947_82317138' rank:0, sequence:

    It looks like the exon it is seeing is from the same gene, but a different chromosome. I looked at the gene IDs and they are the same for those two regions. Does anybody know of any scripts, or are there options in snpEff to deal with this sort of issue? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

    - Nik.

    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...

    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...
