I am wondering if there is any software that annotates variants not by the variants genomic coordinates but by their position in the cDNA.
Thank you

If you use the transcriptome for your reference instead of the genome, then yes. -
Do you mean the reference used to find the variants in the sequence? Or the reference used by the annotation software?Comment

Both: the alignment and annotation references have to match. But your original question implied that you had already determined variant positions by cDNA coordinates. Was that not correct?
If your intended question was "how do I determine the positions of variants in cDNAs?", that's standard output for most variant annotating software. The genome is reference, and gene annotation tables (refGene or GFF3) are used to identify those variants contained within coding sequences.Last edited by HESmith; 10-28-2016, 08:19 AM.Comment

But I only have the file with the variants already identified, nothing else. And due to the nomenclature, some variants can't be annotated by their genomic coordinates.Comment

How were your variants identified (i.e., what was the software pipeline)? And what format are they in? (posting ~10 lines would be useful)Comment
-
I don't know the pipeline used to identify the variants. The only thing that I have access to is the reference file used, that was: hg38.fa
The variants are saved in a VCF file. What I want to do is to annotate the variants, but some variants do not match the genomic coordinate (when the variants involve more than one nucleotide), and in that case using a software that annotates by genomic coordinate will not perform a correct annotation.Comment

If hg38 was the reference used for alignment and variant calling, then the variants in your VCF have genomic (not cDNA) coordinates. Is that not true? And most variant annotation software can accommodate multi-nucleotide variants, so your question/concern is unclear.
Please post an example of a variant from your VCF with more than one nucleotide.Comment

Then you may have a problem. You should go back and ask for whoever did the analysis for you for the reference they used.but some variants do not match the genomic coordinate (when the variants involve more than one nucleotide)Comment

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.

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.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM
