confidence intervals for gene-level dN/dS values and version for hg38 #13

Closed AlinaSc closed 6 years ago

AlinaSc commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I was just wondering if it is somehow possible to easily obtain gene level confidence intervals for the dN/dS values? And also, is there a version of the package for hg38? Hope you can help me!

Best, Alina

Hi Alina,

Thank you for your interest in dNdScv.

At present, only maximum likelihood estimates are provided for the dN/dS values at gene level. I will add your request to calculate confidence intervals to the list of future improvements.

At present, there is only support for hg37 but offering a general implementation of dndscv for any assembly or any species is a top priority for me. For now, you can use liftover to move your hg38 variants to hg37 to run dndscv.

Best wishes, Inigo
