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.

Learning Deep Global Multi-Scale and Local Attention Features for Facial Expression Recognition in the Wild

TL;DR: Zeng et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a global multi-scale and local attention network (MA-Net) for facial expression recognition in the wild, which consists of three main components: a feature pre-extractor, a multiscale module, and a local attention module.

Novel functional APOB mutations outside LDL-binding region causing familial hypercholesterolaemia

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed whole sequencing of APOB by pyrosequencing and identified a total of 10 putative mutations in APOB, including p.Tyr1247Cys, p.Arg1164Thr and p.Gln4494del.

Deep genome sequencing and variation analysis of 13 inbred mouse strains defines candidate phenotypic alleles, private variation and homozygous truncating mutations

TL;DR: The catalogue of fully sequenced laboratory mouse strains is significantly expanded and now contains several examples of highly genetically similar strains with divergent phenotypes, showing how studying private missense mutations can lead to insights into the genetic mechanism for a highly penetrant phenotype.

dbSNP: the NCBI database of genetic variation

TL;DR: The dbSNP database is a general catalog of genome variation to address the large-scale sampling designs required by association studies, gene mapping and evolutionary biology, and is integrated with other sources of information at NCBI such as GenBank, PubMed, LocusLink and the Human Genome Project data.

Predicting Deleterious Amino Acid Substitutions

TL;DR: A tool that uses sequence homology to predict whether a substitution affects protein function is constructed, which may be used to identify plausible disease candidates among the SNPs that cause missense substitutions.
