Annotating 5'UTRs

[fulyataylan]

Hi!

I have recently listened to an ESHG talk about annotating variants in 5'UTR. I found it very interesting and it is worth trying. Below you can find their GitHub page and publications.

About the role of 5'UTR variants in human genetic disease:

Whiffin, N., Karczewski, K.J., Zhang, X. et al. Characterising the loss-of-function impact of 5’ untranslated region variants in 15,708 individuals. Nat Commun 11, 2523 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10717-9

About UTRannotator:

Kind regards,

First of all sorry about the late reply.
Indeed, this looks very interesting. We are currently in the process of rewriting MIP in nextflow which takes a lot of our resources and thus the work on MIP has been limited to maintenance mostly. However, we will try to include this in the nf-core pipeline :)

Will not be done in MIP

Transferred this to our fork of the raredisease repo in order to not forget about it
