SIFT: predicting amino acid changes that affect protein function

TLDR
SIFT is a program that predicts whether an amino acid substitution affects protein function so that users can prioritize substitutions for further study and can distinguish between functionally neutral and deleterious amino acid changes in mutagenesis studies and on human polymorphisms.Abstract:
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) studies and random mutagenesis projects identify amino acid substitutions in protein-coding regions. Each substitution has the potential to affect protein function. SIFT (Sorting Intolerant From Tolerant) is a program that predicts whether an amino acid substitution affects protein function so that users can prioritize substitutions for further study. We have shown that SIFT can distinguish between functionally neutral and deleterious amino acid changes in mutagenesis studies and on human polymorphisms. SIFT is available at http://blocks.fhcrc.org/sift/SIFT.html.read more

Secretion of fatty acids by photosynthetic microorganisms
TL;DR: In this article, a method to recover the secreted fatty acids from the culture medium without the need for cell harvesting is described. But without cell harvesting, the method is not suitable for the case of photosynthetic microorganisms.

Induced point mutations in the phytoene synthase 1 gene cause differences in carotenoid content during tomato fruit ripening

TL;DR: Gene expression analysis of key genes involved in carotenoid biosynthesis revealed that expression levels of genes in the pathway are not feedback-regulated by low levels or absence ofCarotenoids, and protein secondary structure modelling indicated that the P192L mutation affects PSY1 activity through misfolding, leading to the low phytoene accumulation.

Limitations of the Human Reference Genome for Personalized Genomics
TL;DR: Observations indicate that current research resources and informatics methods do not adequately account for the high level of variation that already exists in the human population and significant efforts are needed to create resources that can accurately assess personal genomics for health, disease, and predict treatment outcomes.

TL;DR: To evaluate treatment responses in benign familial neonatal epilepsy (BFNE), a large number of patients were diagnosed with some form of epilepsy at birth and the prognosis was poor.
