  • UCSC / NCBI (hg19/GRCh37) : differences and standard

    Hi,

    new to bioinformatics
    I realised today that my lab for a vcf file is using a different format that I am using usually: I'm using as a reference UCSChg19, which seems (to be confirmed) to use the following standard for chromosomes: chrx.
    My lab is using the following : x .
    After some time on it, it seems that my lab is using a GRCh(NCBI) standard, but it seems that all my pipeline has to be rerun with that reference.

    What are the differences between the two? Is there any out of the chromosome name?
    What is Ensembl in all that?
    What is the fasta genome from 1000G?
    Can this be converted at all?

    Sorry for those silly simple-as-dead questions

    Best,

    opio

    There should be no difference in the sequence since it is the same genome build. As you discovered, UCSC uses a "chr" prefix for chromosomes whereas Ensembl uses plain numbers (e.g. 1). Some finer information available here: https://www.biostars.org/p/119295/#119308

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin


      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 on Modified Bases...

      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...
