openCRAVAT application

[ariannadib]

Good morning,
Thank you very much for the help provided previously. I am trying to use the output derived from the somatic module, i.e. chr.SNV_mat.RDS in the openCRAVAT software but to do so I would need to better understand the data output. In fact, a necessary field in the openCRAVAT input file is: Strand
The strand the variant is on. Either '+' (plus strand): Indicates that the genetic variant is located on the positive (or sense) strand or '-' (minus strand): Indicates that the variant is located on the negative (or anti-sense) strand. Is there any way to know this information or maybe since it's RNA I have to act differently?

Any help is appreciated
Thank you

You can load chr.SNV_mat.RDS using R as dt <- readRDS(file="chr.SNV_mat.RDS"). It is a SNV by cell matrix that is easily understood. Could you try to see whether it works?

Possible input files can only be of the vcf, tsv or hgvs format, the information about the strand (- or +) seems to be mandatory.
Thank you for your time
