  • How and what to use to filter out any known SNPs (with rs#) from the vcf file?

    Given a vcf file, is there a feature in SNP analysis package to filter out known SNPs (SNPs with rs# associated with)? If so, how is it done? Is it simply the concordance between the variant call in the vcf file to the known SNP in the dbSNP 137 build by chromosome#, position, reference, and alternate allele?

    I want to filter out any known and common SNPs (SNPs associated with rs#) present in dbSNP or Thousand Genomes from my vcf file to get to the novel SNPs. Is it simply based on the concordance between the variant call in the vcf file to the known SNP in the dbSNP 137 build by chromosome#, position, reference, and alternate allele? or is anything different?

    If I do it this way, I am noticing discrepancies in the tools out there that provide any dbSNP validation versus the SNPs listed in the dbSNP 137 build file itself (downloaded from ncbi ftp). For example, for a given variant, I do not find a SNP in the dbSNP 137 file, however, I end up finding an rs# associated with the same variant from a different tool such as Polyphen-2 or SeattleSeq while I am searching for something else like annotation or protein prediction.

    How can I be sure that the variant identified doesn't have an rs# or is not a known SNP? Is there a one way or do I have to exhaustively check out every tool to validate it?

    Any help, comment, or feedback will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    BD

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
