[ensembl-dev] human exome mutation database

Hi Venu,

I'm afraid Ensembl doesn't carry this data.

We don't use RefSeq transcripts as our primary transcript type (although
they are available through our otherfeatures databases, and as mapped
identifiers to our Ensembl transcript identifiers).

We don't catalog all possible nucleotide changes either, although I am not
sure I see a reason for doing this?

Have you come across our Variant Effect Predictor software? You may find it
useful depending on what you want to do; it will map genomic variant
changes to transcript/protein changes and provides much more besides,
including SIFT and PolyPhen predictions. You can find full documentation
here:

There is also a limited web interface if you just want to try it out:

Hope this helps
