Hi there,
I have had several queries from users checking my snp annotations (i use both ANNOVAR and SNPeff) and tell me that a large percentage of their candidate SNPs that are called as unknown snps are actually present in the dbsnp 135 database.
I have checked both annotators and neither have updated past 132. I know its possible to include these databases manually but before I take the plunge I just wanted to hear opinions if this is actually so critical (and if there isnt good reason it is currently excluded), surely the newer versions of dbsnp still contain errors and are relatively unstable? Any opinions on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

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...-

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...-
