Answer: A: Free for academic use only licenses (If you want to sell your software please ju
... Appreciate the perspective! I've navigated this from the academic side before, and it's tough. We all know that academic software has a reputation for being poorly engineered, and unsupported approximately 5 minutes after it's published. That's because it's _really_ hard to get grant funding for st ...

Comment: C: HGVS format to VCF from portal.gdc.cancer.gov
... If this works for you, great, but IIRC, that's not valid VCF format, because of the missing "anchor bases" for ins and del. (e.g. G/- should be CG/C) A lot of tools will get angry about that. VEP will fill those in with the missing ref bases, if you do end up needing them. ...

Comment: C: Middle author, but not first author projects. How would you approach this?
... Bosses can make your life hell in plenty of other ways... I know a person who did this without including or notifying the head of their lab and got dressed down pretty good for it, since the review covered things he learned/worked on while in lab. There's a whole separate discussion to be had abou ...
