Hi,
I have been using CNVannotator to annotate my CNV regions and worked pretty well for me. I can retrieve a lot features from there. Only thing is for my CNV regions I found CpG sites but these sites are not annotated to corresponding gene names. I just receive the regions that match and retrieve CpG information, now I want to know to which gene these regions correspond to that got a hit in their database. I found an online tool lynx where you can provide regions in order of
chr8:12595527-43811979
chr8:183585-7808664
chr8:12595527-43926760
chr14:69961223-70005628
And then I can retrieve gene names for these regions. I would like to know if this is a right approach to annotate the CpG regions that I get for my CNV regions. The regions of CNV that matches with CpG regions in CNVannotator are returned as below. I am now taking the regions of Matched position to know the gene names of these CpG sites with Lynx. I would like some suggestions. I do not have strand information so I cannot use Ensemble or Homer. Any inputs are appreciated
