Good day, We have downloaded a copy of the refGene and gbStatus database tables to provide a service for users of our LSDB software to map variants to the genome using a NM reference sequence.
However, the refGene table only stores the accession number without the version attached, while the gbStatus table stores both, but only stores some data on the record itself. Thus, when a user of our software is using an older version of the NM reference sequence, we can't be sure about the mapping of the variants to the genome. And I don't know what will happen with new versions of reference sequences. I'm assuming newer versions of NM reference sequences will be mapped when they are released, and the results will overwrite the older data - is this correct? If this is true, can we get previous versions of these tables somewhere so we can take that data and design our own table format which does include the version numbers? Or do you suggest any other way around this problem? Thank you for your time, Ivo Fokkema Leiden University Medical Center LOVD - Leiden Open Variation Database Website : http://www.LOVD.nl/ _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
