    dbSNP database for just NA12878

    So I may be completely wrong here but please correct me since I'm mostly used to doing RNA splicing analysis.

    I have sequenced sheared DNA from about 10 NA12878 cells using Illumina and a library prep that uses a non proof reading polymerase so we expect it to introduce lots of errors even early on. What I would like to do is figure out how many false positives it gives me (Allele frequency of >=15%.
    To do that I need the NA12878 ref genome, and it's dbSNP database for heterozygous loci. Right? If I just align to NA12878 then the het loci that are endogenous "SNPs" would look as false positives. Where can I find the NA12878 specific dbSNP?

    If there is another more logical way of doing this analysis please feel free to call me out.

    Thank you!

    I've actually found this thread that might help.

    Discussion of next-gen sequencing related bioinformatics: resources, algorithms, open source efforts, etc

    Two files that I found useful:

    ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1...populations.md
    shows the population that the vcf files came from. The NA12878 should be the CEU CEPH Utah residents (CEPH) with Northern and Western European ancestry

    ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1.../2010_07/trio/
    has all the different datasets

    If someone else has better options or suggestions please let me know

        Thank you sklages! It looks that people update these files frequently so the databases should be way better than the 2010 version the 1000genomes pilot study offers.

          Note that some of your false-positives will be alignment artifacts rather than polymerase errors. If it's important to discriminate those classes, see this paper.

              Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

              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...
