Converting HGVS cDNA notations to chromosome position

Hi,

I would like to automate the conversion of cDNA notations to chromosome position by using a batch request web service or some kind of API (ideally in R, but I am open to other languages).

The perfect tool would to get the anchor nucleotide and position for INDEL, for example:

NM_000059.3:c.3847_3848delGT --> 13:32912339_TGT>GT

I already tried VEP from Ensembl, but it doesnt give satisfactory results.

Thanks for your suggestions

Antoine

There are several libraries to work with hgvs ids. You may check the hgvs python library for mapping IDs to genomic coordinates:
