    UCSC / NCBI (hg19/GRCh37) : differences and standard

    Hi,

    new to bioinformatics
    I realised today that my lab for a vcf file is using a different format that I am using usually: I'm using as a reference UCSChg19, which seems (to be confirmed) to use the following standard for chromosomes: chrx.
    My lab is using the following : x .
    After some time on it, it seems that my lab is using a GRCh(NCBI) standard, but it seems that all my pipeline has to be rerun with that reference.

    What are the differences between the two? Is there any out of the chromosome name?
    What is Ensembl in all that?
    What is the fasta genome from 1000G?
    Can this be converted at all?

    Sorry for those silly simple-as-dead questions

    Best,

    opio

    There should be no difference in the sequence since it is the same genome build. As you discovered, UCSC uses a "chr" prefix for chromosomes whereas Ensembl uses plain numbers (e.g. 1). Some finer information available here: https://www.biostars.org/p/119295/#119308

      The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

      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,...
