How to find the chromosomal coordinate of a mutation in a gene?

I have information on the Codon number, Amino acid change and the corresponding nucleotide change for a mutation in a gene. I need the exact chromosomal coordinate for that mutation.Can someone please tell me how to find the chromosomal coordinate of that particular mutation? What tools are available to find the coordinates?

@Pierre I tried to use back locate but when I run the example it gives me an error:

echo -e "INF2\tA13T" | java -jar dist/backlocate.jar -R hg19.fa
[WARN][BackLocate]ici
[WARN][BackLocate]ici
[INFO][BackLocate]loading genes

[INFO][BackLocate]loading http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/kgXref.txt.gz
[INFO][BackLocate]kgxref:0 . Count ignored because not found in kg file: 82960

Do you have any clue?

If this is for some Human assembly you can make an HGVS term out of your information and paste into the search box on the UCSC Genome Browser. The highlighted base(s) will be your mutation coordinate(s).

If you have further questions about UCSC data or tools feel free to send your question to one of the below mailing lists:

  • General questions: genome@soe.ucsc.edu
  • Questions involving private data: genome-www@soe.ucsc.edu
  • Questions involving mirror sites: genome-mirror@ose.ucsc.edu

Hello,

if you have a transcript id you could use mutalyzer. If you don't have a transcript id use ensembl's VEP.

But be careful. Without a transcript id the result could be ambiguous.
