Recently got a project on human data. It is easy to find out all the mutations. But how do I exclude all the know Polymorphisms, any approach? Thanks!

A common approach is to annotate your results with the information from dbSNP, 1000 Genomes, Exome Variant Server .
These databases have information on previously described SNPs and their frequency in several populations.
You can download these databases and annotate your vcf files with them using snpSift annotate.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
