Hi,
Polyphen2 is a great tool for SNP annotations, works great with dbSNP annotations too!
For one of our projects we were trying to identify the dbSNP database version used...is it dbSNP137?
If so, is there a way we could download the database you use for the annotations?
Thanks much!Comment

dbSNP rsIDs found in the PolyPhen-2 output are obtained from Swiss-Prot protein annotations. This is a smaller subset (about 60,000) of manually verified human dbSNP rsIDs for missense SNPs only. They are not tied to a particular dbSNP build.Originally posted by rpauly View Post
dbSNP rsIDs which are found in the MapSNPs output (Batch query pipleine) are taken from UCSC Genome Browser snp135 track. These correspond to dbSNP build 135.
I am not sure I understand which database you want to download?Comment

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...Today, 07:11 AM -
Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
