I have the variant information in form of the chromosomal position and allele change. I wish to translate it into the relevant amino acid change (if it is a nonsysn change). I do know how to do it but it seems like there must be something out there. Don't want to reinvent the wheel. Any suggestionss

Try SnpEff: http://snpeff.sourceforge.net/ -
There are programs like SNPEff and Annovar, and ensembl's Variant effect predictor, which will take genomic coordinates, and output differences with respect to genes and amino acids.Originally posted by akitrav View Post
If you wanted to do a bit more yourself, you could used blastx to compare your DNA sequences to all potential proteins in the organism, and parse the blast output.Comment

Thank you folks but I was trying to do it from scratch or just use a functionality that does only that. Maybe if there were an R package or something like that?Comment

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
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
