  • How to add custom annotation to a vcf ?

    Hi,

    I have what I hope is a fairly simple question....

    Suppose I have a vcf file (lets call it vcf1). This is a list of variants created by GATK from a targeted resequencing project from a list of genes.

    I am interested in annotating this vcf with information from a customised reference file (call it vcf2). An example might be a list of in-house known pathogenic mutations that we have previously seen.

    How should I go about doing that?

    I have previously used Annovar's pre-built reference vcfs to annotate with functional info & gene name, transcript etc, but dont know how to go about creating a reference lookup myself, and then applying it to lookup a per-sample vcf. Should I be referencing a genomic locus, or relative to a specific place in a transcript ?

    Any pointers would be much appreciated

    I think the genome locus (chromsome and location within the chromosome) should be fine as a reference key.

      Does anyone have any suggestions how to to about this?

      While this is an intermediate goal, what I am hoping to achieve in the long run is to warehouse all variants seen from the same multi-gene assay and be able to annotate new samples being run on the same assay with allele frequency data, or pathogenicity info that we may have stored for variants previously seen

        Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
        by seqadmin



        Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

        Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
        by seqadmin




        Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
