Which human reference genome version does VARAdb use?

They are using hg19. I found this by simply going to "Browse" then copying taking the first rsID in the list (rs1891805) and comparing the chromosomal position they give in VARAdb to what I ...

Identifying the promoter on the reverse strand using visualization software (seqmonk)

Have a look at this UCSC browser shot. Looking at the WDR92 transcript, note that it is transcribed right to left. This would indicate that the promoter is on the right. Indeed, we see a variety of ...

What is the best Query to retrieve DNA from NCBI?

There are two main problems I can see in your approach. First, gene names are not standardized across species and the "same" gene (what that means is a whole different discussion) can have ...

Extract data from genome

This sounds like you are wanting to perform a machine learning calculation. However, for this question leveraging KEGG, Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genome and Gene and building an SQL database around it is ...

How to interpret a GenomeScope plot?

Based on the numbers shown above the plot, and the appearance of the curve, this looks like reads from a diploid genome approximately 113Mb in length that was sequenced at around 174X coverage.

Why is there gene without annotated location?

This gene/protein appears to have been described exclusively as an isozyme / electrophoretic mobility assay of a protein. See for example this PepC mutant page: The Pepc locus controls ...

Extract data from genome

I've used Augustus stand alone (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1160219/) to find genes in a given eukaryotic genome. I agree you can then use things like KofamSCAN to categorize the ...

Sanger sequencing annotation error

Just to give my thoughts: The missing information is the actual sequence Is this a conflict in the change in position of the insert? Could it simply be a consequence of down stream numbering, either ...

I have a partially described gene from a plant, which tool may I use for predicting regolatory and UTRs sequences from a single DNA fragment?

Assuming that you know the gene name, you would be able to look it up in a transcriptome assembly presumably, or perhaps NCBI has a full length transcript (search ...

Problem with Seurat reference mapping

Yes! Multiome seems to have cells with much higher mitochondrial gene content. I don't understand the biology behind this. But in using a cut off of 5% (i.e. remove cells with >5% MT genes) I lose ...

dog coordinates (canFam3) to human coordinates (hg19)

Based on this old answer, this is not recommended for liftOver. For between-species liftovers, it is claimed that you are likely to want a different tool such as pslMap. For a lot of rather detailed ...
