File format for HGMD pro file flat

Hello,

does anyone here use the HGMD pro flat file? Can I know the format of the flat file and if I can incorporate it within annovar for variant annotation?

Many thanks

variant-analysis hgmd annovar

Could you provide an example how this file looks like? Where in HGMD can I obtain such a file?

@finswimmer, I do not know how the file looks like - hence the question. I would like to know the file format and if its compatible to use in such annotation tools. I have been asked to incorporate this into our variant annotation pipeline and HGMD pro licence is not free, so before we apply, I wanted to know if anyone has done this already.

HGMD pro subscriptions are pricey so not many on biostars are likely to have access. You can ask your sales rep/tech support for an example, if you are thinking of purchasing a license.

I thought so... Okay, I'll try getting in touch with HGMD.

tried that - there is no download option for files there

Are you referring to a dump of the entire HGMD pro? That is something only big pharmas can afford AFAIK.
