  • PFB file for HumanExome-12v1_A

    Hi.

    I'd like to use PennCNV with Infinium Human Exome BeadChip (HumanExome-12v1_A) genotype data to detect CNVs.

    I need a population frequency of the b allele/PFB file that corresponds to this chip to get PennCNV to run.

    The PFB file in the PennCNV package required for this is for HG18 and does not contain RSIDs, I think it is Illumina's own IDs (e.g. exm-IND1-200449980).

    I used liftOver to update the PFB file that came with PennCNV to HG19.

    I was planning to next match the genotype data by coordinates as the genotype data does not have RSIDs.

    However, it seems like the coordinates don't match up - the updated hhall.hg19.pfb coordinates don't correspond with the Infinium SNP coordinates.

    I could ask the genotype lab to create a new PFB file for me, but I don't know if they have enough samples to do that - the PennCNV documentation says that you need 100s to do that.

    Is that what I should do, generate a new PFB file using other samples from the same chip type?

    I am new to this area. Any help would be much appreciated.

    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...
