    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.

              Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
              by SEQadmin2



              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

              New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
              by SEQadmin2


              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
