    MNV nomenclature in VCFs

    We have been using GATK readbackphasing to phase multinucleotide variants in our generated data. The output from this walker just reports the bases affected by substitutions. However, we just noticed that we were not getting Cosmic annotation for a number of these, as Cosmic MNVs are reported with the preceding base in both the REF and ALT allele.

    For example, in our vcfs, a MNV is represented as: chr7 140453135 CA TT (This is an MNV leading to BRAF V600E). The Cosmic count is NA.
    In the COSMIC vcf, the same variant is chr7 140453134 TCA TTT ID=COSM475 and CNT=55.
    (There is the extra T before the variant bases and the position is one base before.)

    dbSNP is reporting in the same way (e.g., rs386627398 is ATAT > AAAC).

    Does anyone know of a program that will phase MNVs to match what seems to be the expected nomenclature?

    Thank you.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    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...

    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
