Investigating differentially expressed genes

Question

[vanessaward876]

Hello,

I'm analysing some rna-seq data and have determined a list of differentially expressed genes. I also have a list of SNP's from a recent GWAS study and have determined a 2Mb threshold for each variant (+/- 1Mb).

I would like to investigate whether any of my differentially expressed genes fall within these 2Mb thresholds. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can do this? I'm inclined to use BioMart but I'm unsure how for this purpose. There are about 900 SNP's in total.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have the loci of each SNP in a file? Also reference genome builds may play a role here - are they different between the RNAseq and GWAS platform?

You can most probably do that with bedtools

Thanks! I used bedtools (galaxy version) and it seems to be working!
