TLDR
It is found that single-site measures of evolutionary constraint derived from mammalian multiple sequence alignments are strongly predictive of reductions in modern-day genetic diversity across a range of annotation categories and across the allele frequency spectrum from rare to high frequency.Abstract:
Here, we demonstrate how comparative sequence analysis facilitates genome-wide base-pair-level interpretation of individual genetic variation and address two questions of importance for human personal genomics: first, whether an individual's functional variation comes mostly from noncoding or coding polymorphisms; and, second, whether population-specific or globally-present polymorphisms contribute more to functional variation in any given individual. Neither has been definitively answered by analyses of existing variation data because of a focus on coding polymorphisms, ascertainment biases in favor of common variation, and a lack of base-pair-level resolution for identifying functional variants. We resequenced 575 amplicons within 432 individuals at genomic sites enriched for evolutionary constraint and also analyzed variation within three published human genomes. We find that single-site measures of evolutionary constraint derived from mammalian multiple sequence alignments are strongly predictive of reductions in modern-day genetic diversity across a range of annotation categories and across the allele frequency spectrum from rare ( 10% minor allele frequency). Furthermore, we show that putatively functional variation in an individual genome is dominated by polymorphisms that do not change protein sequence and that originate from our shared ancestral population and commonly segregate in human populations. These observations show that common, noncoding alleles contribute substantially to human phenotypes and that constraint-based analyses will be of value to identify phenotypically relevant variants in individual genomes.read more

Improving the Assessment of the Outcome of Nonsynonymous SNVs with a Consensus Deleteriousness Score, Condel
TL;DR: An effective approach to integrating the output of some of these tools into a unified classification is proposed based on a weighted average of the normalized scores of the individual methods (WAS), which shows that this WAS outperforms each individual method in the task of classifying missense SNVs as deleterious or neutral.

The QTN Program and the Alleles That Matter for Evolution: All That’s Gold Does Not Glitter
TL;DR: It is argued that neither theory nor data justify a view of readily discoverable large‐effect alleles as the primary molecular substrates for evolution, and that evolution often acts via large numbers of small‐effect polygenes, individually undetectable.

The Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution
TL;DR: The neutral theory as discussed by the authors states that the great majority of evolutionary changes at the molecular level are caused not by Darwinian selection but by random drift of selectively neutral mutants, which has caused controversy ever since.

Base-calling of automated sequencer traces using Phred. I. accuracy assessment
TL;DR: In this article, a base-calling program for automated sequencer traces, phred, with improved accuracy was proposed. But it was not shown to achieve a lower error rate than the ABI software, averaging 40%-50% fewer errors in the data sets examined independent of position in read, machine running conditions, or sequencing chemistry.
