    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.

              Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
              by SEQadmin2



              CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

              Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

              Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
              by SEQadmin2


              Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

              Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
              by SEQadmin2



              Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
