Ensembl VEP gnomAD annotated allele frequencies different from gnomAD browser

I’ve annotated some variants using VEP, and was looking at the minor allele frequencies. Some of the variants had very different MAFs in the annotation than I expected (I expected MAF < 1%, whereas some annotated MAFs were >50%). I looked up the same variants on the gnomAD v3 browser,…

Mitochondrial DNA variation across 56,434 individuals in gnomAD

Genomic databases of allele frequency are extremely helpful for evaluating clinical variants of unknown significance; however, until now, databases such as the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) have focused on nuclear DNA and have ignored the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA). Here we present a pipeline to call mtDNA variants that addresses three…

Systems biology analysis of human genomes points to key pathways conferring spina bifida risk

Significance Genetic investigations of most structural birth defects, including spina bifida (SB), congenital heart disease, and craniofacial anomalies, have been underpowered for genome-wide association studies because of their rarity, genetic heterogeneity, incomplete penetrance, and environmental influences. Our systems biology strategy to investigate SB predisposition controls for population stratification and avoids…

rosetta fold vs alphafold 2

S. Both AlphaFold and Xu use simple folding engines L-BFGS (L- Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb– Shanno (BFGS)) and CNS (Crystallography and NMR System), respectively, i.e., improvements come from a better energy potential using distributional information. The phase problem is a problem, to the point that in the past decade, several structures, such as M-PMV…

Can someone explain the differences between various 1000 genome project and gnomad call sets? Also any straightforward PCA implementation on them?

I’ve been trying to delve into the data from whole genome sequencing, specifically by looking at the already existing data in the 1000 genome project and gnomad, and I have a lot of questions. Does gnomAD contain the 1000gp samples? I’ve found many vcf including these: ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/release/20130502/supporting/hd_genotype_chip/ ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/phase3/integrated_sv_map/ ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/phase1/analysis_results/integrated_call_sets/ gnomad.broadinstitute.org/downloads…
