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.

Genomic insights into the fate of colistin resistance and Acinetobacter baumannii during patient treatment

TL;DR: This study provides a unique window into mutational pathways taken in response to antibiotic pressure in vivo, and demonstrates the potential for genome sequence data to predict resistance phenotypes.

Disease mutations in disordered regions—exception to the rule?

TL;DR: It is argued that disease-associated missense mutations located in the intrinsically disordered regions are more prevalent and have larger functional impact than previously thought, and it is demonstrated that deleterious amino acid substitutions that cause disorder-to-order transitions are particularly enriched among disease mutations compared to neutral polymorphisms.

DEOGEN2: prediction and interactive visualization of single amino acid variant deleteriousness in human proteins.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method, DEOGEN2, which incorporates heterogeneous information about the molecular effects of the variants, the domains involved, the relevance of the gene and the interactions in which it participates.

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.
