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 method and server for predicting damaging missense mutations.

TL;DR: A new method and the corresponding software tool, PolyPhen-2, which is different from the early tool polyPhen1 in the set of predictive features, alignment pipeline, and the method of classification is presented and performance, as presented by its receiver operating characteristic curves, was consistently superior.

ANNOVAR: functional annotation of genetic variants from high-throughput sequencing data

TL;DR: The ANNOVAR tool to annotate single nucleotide variants and insertions/deletions, such as examining their functional consequence on genes, inferring cytogenetic bands, reporting functional importance scores, finding variants in conserved regions, or identifying variants reported in the 1000 Genomes Project and dbSNP is developed.

Predicting the effects of coding non-synonymous variants on protein function using the SIFT algorithm.

TL;DR: This protocol describes the use of the 'Sorting Tolerant From Intolerant' (SIFT) algorithm in predicting whether an AAS affects protein function.

A general framework for estimating the relative pathogenicity of human genetic variants

TL;DR: The ability of CADD to prioritize functional, deleterious and pathogenic variants across many functional categories, effect sizes and genetic architectures is unmatched by any current single-annotation method.

Human gene mutation database-a biomedical information and research resource.

TL;DR: The World Wide Web provides an excellent medium within which to combine the centralised management of basic mutation data, including rigorous quality control, with the possibility of publishing additional mutation‐related information.

Evaluation of structural and evolutionary contributions to deleterious mutation prediction.

TL;DR: It is concluded that methods for deleterious mutation prediction should include structural information when fewer than five to ten homologs are available, and that ab initio predicted structures may soon be useful in such cases when high-resolution structures are unavailable.
