Hi,
I have SNPs from RNA-Seq data NGS Analysis.
Which is better for validating cDNA or genomic DNA?
Is there any method available other than sanger for validating these SNPs for multiple samples?
Thanks,

My colleagues (biologists) validate variants on both cDNA (to fit RNA-seq experiment at mRNA level) and genomic DNA (to determine if variant is heterozygous or homozygous) with Sanger sequencing. There also is a good reason to do both: you validate the variant with two independent experiments.
If you have detected many variants (typically >100) and want to validate them, then you may think about working with a dedicated validation platform. It shouldn't cost that much and save a lot of time (which means save money too).
Cheers

I wouldn't call this a bioinformatics question and this thread can/will get closed because of that, or can you convince me it is bioinformatics?
