  • Looking for tools for calling snv and indel(Somatic Variant)

    Dear expert,
    I am working on exome-seq data.
    Looking for tools for calling snv and indel(Somatic Variant) in matched tumor-normal samples. Any suggestions?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    If you are interested in indels, particularly very long deletions that are common in cancer, I recommend mapping with BBMap, which outperforms everything on indel accuracy. There's also a thread for it, here:
    Discussion of next-gen sequencing related bioinformatics: resources, algorithms, open source efforts, etc


    As for what you call variations with, I'm not sure what's best. GATK and samtools pileup are commonly used. Just make sure that whatever tool you use does NOT reassemble or realign indel-containing reads, because it will probably do a worse job than BBMap's raw output.

      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...

      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...
