How can I get a list of papers where a particular mutation has been mentioned?
You could use the pubmed API to query it directly. Typically I use Biopython for my pubmed queries. There are some good examples in the cookbook and on other SO posts.
This example from the ...

How to get unique somatic mutations for each individual patients
If what you want is to split the main VCF file into 1 file per sample, you could use bcftools query and view commands.
A similar question was asked on biostars, adapting Jorge Amigo's solution to ...

Is there a aminoacid mutation that forms similar protein?
A mutation is most often likely to be either neutral (no effect) or destabiling (protein misfolds). Changes in activity require changes at the active site or the entranceway to it —which are often ...

>My counter is counting genotypic combination occurences more than once, how do I ensure it counts one combination and doesnt count it again?
Alright, so there are a number of problematic patterns in your code - as far as I understand what you are trying to do. Next time, try to post a reproducible example that people can use and more ...

Which gene I should select from this qqplot
Given that TP53 is the most significant and is already known to have driver mutations in cancer it would seem to be the logical choice.

If you only have one gene and you only need to do this once then the simplest possible workflow is to generate the aliment using STAR (optimally with the two pass method) and open the two resultant <...

Show presence of known mutation in RNA-seq data
For counting reads I use mpileup, e.g. samtools mpileup --reference hg38.fa -r Chr10:18000-45500 input.bam, which will give base-resolution coverage for a BAM file.

Why can't AlphaFold predict the consequences of point-mutations?
Other have addressed why AlphaFold2 cannot really get the necessary signal from MSA (Multiple Sequence Alignment) and memory to properly model a variant, but I thought I'd add my observations/rants.

Without control data from your subjects, I don't think there's really no way to distinguish somatic mutations from germ-line mutations. The best you can do is to screen out common variants, which are ...

How to calculate various properties of a protein structure per atom using PDB2PQR and Rosetta tools (or any other tools)?
Per Atom
You are correct. Rosetta scorefunction does not store any per atom data. The scoring operates at the per residue level. Whereas each atom has its coordinates and properties in full atom mode, ...

calculating mutation frequencies for every gene
The code is fine. The only issue is you'd put \s characters in-between the column header names. I've place an additional "mutation_frequency" column because thats how I'd do it.

Can we do NGS library preparation using UMI with large amount of DNA input?
Whole genome sequencing uses between 50 ng and 1 μg of high-quality DNA (A260/A280: 1.7–2.0) for PCR-amplified or non-amplified libraries if your focus is precision oncology as described in the ...

Can we do NGS library preparation using UMI with large amount of DNA input?
The question is
"Do I add 20-fold more DNA than the kit states?"
Its not my area - this is wet-lab - but there will be a tolerance however 20-fold is excessive (>1 log), i.e. no it ...
