Can Predicted Protein 3D Structures Provide Reliable Insights into whether Missense Variants Are Disease Associated

TLDR
This work assesses whether a missense variant is structurally damaging by using experimental and predicted structures and shows that 40% of the 1965 disease-associated missense variants analyzed have aStructurally damaging change in the mutant structure.

Experimental evidence for enhanced receptor binding by rapidly spreading SARS-CoV-2 variants.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors experimentally established that RBD containing the N501Y mutation results in 7-fold stronger binding to the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor than wild type RBD.

Functional interrogation of DNA damage response variants with base editing screens

TL;DR: In this article, using CRISPR-dependent cytosine base editing screens, the authors identify > 2,000 sgRNAs that generate nucleotide variants in 86 DDR genes, resulting in altered cellular fitness upon DNA damage.

PDBe-KB: a community-driven resource for structural and functional annotations

Mihaly Varadi, +55 more
TL;DR: The guidelines of this collaborative effort, the current status of contributed data, and the PDBe-KB infrastructure, which includes the data exchange format, the deposition system for added value annotations, the distributable database containing the assembledData, and programmatic access endpoints are described.

VarSite: Disease variants and protein structure

TL;DR: VarSite is a web server mapping known disease‐associated variants from UniProt and ClinVar, together with natural variants from gnomAD, onto protein 3D structures in the Protein Data Bank, and provides both an overview for each human protein, as well as a report for any specific variant of interest.

In Silico Investigation of the New UK (B.1.1.7) and South African (501Y.V2) SARS-CoV-2 Variants with a Focus at the ACE2-Spike RBD Interface.

TL;DR: It is found that the N501Y replacement in this region of the interface (present in both the UK and South African strains) should be favorable for the interaction with ACE2, while the K417N and E484K substitutions (South African strain) would seem neutral or even unfavorable.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing

TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.

Clustal W and Clustal X version 2.0

TL;DR: The Clustal W and ClUSTal X multiple sequence alignment programs have been completely rewritten in C++ to facilitate the further development of the alignment algorithms in the future and has allowed proper porting of the programs to the latest versions of Linux, Macintosh and Windows operating systems.

Standards and guidelines for the interpretation of sequence variants: a joint consensus recommendation of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology.

TL;DR: Because of the increased complexity of analysis and interpretation of clinical genetic testing described in this report, the ACMG strongly recommends thatclinical molecular genetic testing should be performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments–approved laboratory, with results interpreted by a board-certified clinical molecular geneticist or molecular genetic pathologist or the equivalent.
