  • Searching bases in reference genome.

    Is there a command line tool that would give me the nucleotide before and after a given mutation/variant base?

    Thanks

    You can use samtools to do this. i.e., samtools faidx REGION

      Great! Thanks. Well, for example, it is samtools faidx filename.fasta chr1:139266-139268 (to make it easy for folks who may have this question in future). Reference fasta should be indexed first using samtools faidx.

        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...
