This folder contains the tools used for making the sqLite database contained in
this package from the raw SIFT files.

Homepage for SIFT :

  http://sift.jcvi.org/ 

Making the sqLite database :

  1. Download collated_predictions_dbSNP132.tgz from

       ftp://ftp.jcvi.org/pub/data/sift/dbSNP_132/

  2. Uncompress the downloaded files.
     These uncompressed files are the "source files" located here :

       ~/SIFTForge/srcdata/SIFT.Hsapiens.dbSNP132/downloads

     NB: The SIFT output format is described in these files :

      readme_collated_predictions_dbSNP132.txt 

  3. A single file was used to forge the database :

      collated_predictions_dbSNP132.tsv

  4. Adjust settings in createSIFTDb.R and run it.
