  • refgene and snp128 files

    Hi,
    I use refgene.txt and snp128.txt files from the ucsc for 454gsMapper sequence capture together with chromosomes seq hg18 as references. I think the annotation I receive is not correct (snps and genes in the correct location). Moreover, if I use snp129 file, the annotation is different. Which files exactly should I use?
    Many thanks!

    Make sure that the snp file is from the same build as the reference, hg18. UCSC has hg19 now as the default, so if you just pick the first "Annotation database" link instead of scrolling down on the Downloads page, you'll get the snp and refgene data for hg19, with different coordinates.
    The correct ones are at: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg18/database

      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...
