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.

A probabilistic classifier for olfactory receptor pseudogenes.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the CORP algorithm is capable to distinguish between functional and non-functional OR genes with high precision even when the encoded protein would differ by a single amino acid.

Genetic Epidemiology of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency in the Arab World.

TL;DR: A systematic search was implemented using four literature databases to capture all the causative mutations of Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in the 22 Arab countries, yielding 33 mutations that were exposed to structural analysis and molecular dynamics simulation analysis.

Global and Site-Specific Effect of Phosphorylation on Protein Turnover

TL;DR: DeltaSILAC profiling revealed a global, unexpected delaying effect of many phosphosites on protein turnover, and found that phosphorylated sites accelerating protein turnover are functionally selected for cell fitness, enriched in Cyclin-dependent kinase substrates, and evolutionarily conserved.

Whole-genome resequencing analyses of five pig breeds, including Korean wild and native, and three European origin breeds

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented whole-genome resequencing analyses of 55 pigs of five breeds representing Korean native pigs, wild boar and three European origin breeds, covering ∼99.2% of the reference genome, at an average of ∼11.7-fold coverage.

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.

Human non‐synonymous SNPs: server and survey

TL;DR: A World Wide Web server is presented to predict the effect of an nsSNP on protein structure and function and the dependence of selective pressure on the structural and functional properties of proteins is studied.
