[Bioc-devel] Request for Comment: SNP Annotation package design

[Seth Falcon]

Hi,

I'm posting this for Carsten who isn't yet subscribed to bioc-devel.

A couple notes:

1. If you want to post to this list, you need to subscribe.  See:
   http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel

2. If you want to update the wiki, create an account for yourself by
   going to http://wiki.fhcrc.org/bioc/UserPreferences, filling out
   the form and clicking on 'create profile'.  Then login using your
   new username/password and you should see an edit link on each page.

3. The wiki uses reST markup.  See notes and links on the main page:
   http://wiki.fhcrc.org/bioc/MyStartingPage

   Unfortunately, the markup hints on the edit page are totally
   wrong.  Sorry, working on a fix for that.

Here is Carten's post:

Dear Seth,

It would be great to get involved in this discussion. I had a quick
look at the page and couldn't figure out how to comment in Wiki.

I think it is very important to include flanking sequences. A
certainly longer discussion is the strandedness of the SNPs in
dbSNP. Coming up with a solution would clearly ease the use of the
database.

In addition you might want to check with Illumina on their SNP
annotations.

We are currently working on proposals and will keep you posted. Is
there an Email list I can subscribe to?

 

Thanks

Carsten
