In-depth annotation of SNPs arising from resequencing projects using NGS-SNP
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY NGS-SNP is a collection of command-line scripts for providing rich annotations for SNPs identified by the sequencing of whole genomes from any organism with reference sequences in Ensembl. Included among the annotations, several of which are not available from any existing SNP annotation tools, are the results of detailed comparisons with orthologous sequences. These comparisons can, for example, identify SNPs that affect conserved residues, or alter residues or genes linked to phenotypes in another species. AVAILABILITY NGS-SNP is available both as a set of scripts and as a virtual machine. The virtual machine consists of a Linux operating system with all the NGS-SNP dependencies pre-installed. The source code and virtual machine are freely available for download at http://stothard.afns.ualberta.ca/downloads/NGS-SNP/.

SNP mining porcine ESTs with MAVIANT, a novel tool for SNP evaluation and annotation
MOTIVATION Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) analysis is an important means to study genetic variation. A fast and cost-efficient approach to identify large numbers of novel candidates is the SNP mining of large scale sequencing projects. The increasing availability of sequence trace data in public repositories makes it feasible to evaluate SNP predictions on the DNA chromatogram level. MA...

Background The availability of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has opened the door to new strategies of SNP discovery and genotyping. Rapid genome-wide SNP detection via deep resequencing of reduced representation libraries of restriction digested pools of genomic DNA combined with a reference genome has been successfully used for SNP discovery in microorganisms [1], plants [2]and...

The growing accessibility to genomic resources using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has revolutionized the application of molecular genetic tools to ecology and evolutionary studies in non-model organisms. Here we present the case study of the European hake (Merluccius merluccius), one of the most important demersal resources of European fisheries. Two sequencing platforms, the R...
متن کاملLOCAS – A Low Coverage Assembly Tool for Resequencing Projects
MOTIVATION Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a frequently applied approach to detect sequence variations between highly related genomes. Recent large-scale re-sequencing studies as the Human 1000 Genomes Project utilize NGS data of low coverage to afford sequencing of hundreds of individuals. Here, SNPs and micro-indels can be detected by applying an alignment-consensus approach. However, com...

Background and Objective: Spina Bifida (SB) is a congenital malformation and is a result of the failure of the closure and failure of the neural tube. The causes and mechanisms of genetic involvement involved in the onset of SB are still ambiguous. The present study addresses the genetic variation in SB disease using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) as a powerful molecular tool for comprehensiv...
