ANNOVAR refGene annotation error

03-07-2014, 10:44 PM

Hello. Thank you in advance, I successfully ran ANNOVAR, but have a question regarding the NOTICE from the output, and wish to understand.

perl table_annovar.pl example/Sample_UYYY-122_flt.avinput humandb/ -buildver hg19 -out MYANNO -remove -protocol refGene,phastConsElements46way,genomicSuperDups,esp6500si_all,1000g2012apr_all,snp135,ljb2_all -operation g,r,r,f,f,f,f -nastring NA -csvout
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE: Processing operation=g protocol=refGene
NOTICE: Reading gene annotation from humandb/hg19_refGene.txt ... Done with 46966 transcripts (including 9362 without coding sequence annotation) for 24933 unique genes
NOTICE: Reading FASTA sequences from humandb/hg19_refGeneMrna.fa ... Done with 14282 sequences
WARNING: A total of 301 sequences will be ignored due to lack of correct ORF annotation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: 3 exonic SNPs have WRONG reference alleles specified in your input file!
WARNING: An example input line is <chr1 206566048 206566048 G het 47 30>
WARNING: ANNOVAR can still annotate exonic_variant_function for the mutation correctly!
WARNING: you may have used wrong -buildver, or specified incorrect reference allele, or used outdated mRNA FASTA file!

I just wish to understand where these WARNINGS are coming from and how to fix them.

1) I checked my mRNA.fa file and it is up to date
2) This must mean there are just code errors in my VCF file?

Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by SEQadmin2

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data

by SEQadmin2

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
