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.

Adversarial Learning for Robust Deep Clustering

TL;DR: A robust deep clustering method based on adversarial learning is proposed that can significantly enhance the robustness and further improve the overall clustering performance and is generally applicable to multiple existing clustering frameworks to boost their robustness.

Computational analysis of functional single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with the CYP11B2 gene.

TL;DR: This study investigated the pathogenic effect of 51 nsSNPs and 26 UTR SNPs in the CYP11B2 gene through computational platforms and cataloguing of deleterious SNPs is essential for narrowing down the number of CYP 11B2 mutations to be screened in genetic association studies.

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.
