    samtools mpileup and bcftools not reporting dbSNP ids

    The vcf output after running mpileup and bcftools seems to fail to report dbSNP ids. Here are the commands I used against my BAM file...pretty much identical to the example code provided with the mpileup documentation.


    samtools mpileup -ugf /data/genomes/hg19/hg19.fa aln.bam > aln_varRaw.bcf
    bcftools view -cvg aln_varRaw.bcf | vcfutils.pl varFilter -D100 > aln.vcf


    And here are the first 10 lines of the output vcf file.

    I realize that these 10 calls may not have a match in dbSNP but NONE of my calls have an associated rsID. rsID should be listed in the 3rd column.

    I looked for specific parameters for setting up a connection to dbSNP but I cannot seem to find that information. Seems like I'm missing something.
    Thanks.

    The tools you're using just report the SNPs found in your data. You'll have to assign the SNPs the dbSNP data with another tool, e.g. GATK VariantAnnotator, to which you provide the dbSNP entries as a file.

      So ga...I thought it can conect with dbSNP.

        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.

        The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
