Mapping SNPs to Chromosomes
I have a reference genome (.fa) and its annotation (.gtf) files. I have sequenced both DNA and RNA from test sample and generated vcf files containing SNP and INDEL locations for each chromosome of the reference genome. I want to plot the identified SNPs and INDELs to identify hot spots on each chromosome. I have read about R being useful to do the same but was unable to narrow down on how to get it done. Please advise.......

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
