Tat is an essential gene for increasing the transcription of all HIV genes, and affects HIV replication, HIV exit from latency, and AIDS progression. The Tat gene frequently mutates in vivo and produces variants with diverse activities, contributing ...
BACKGROUND: Mutation processes leave different signatures in genes. For single-base substitutions, previous studies have suggested that mutation signatures are not only reflected in mutation bases but also in neighboring bases. However, because of th...
Among an assortment of genetic variations, Missense are major ones which a small subset of them may led to the upset of the protein function and ultimately end in human diseases. Various machine learning methods were declared to differentiate deleter...
Resistance to small-molecule drugs is the main cause of the failure of therapeutic drugs in clinical practice. Missense mutations altering the binding of ligands to proteins are one of the critical mechanisms that result in genetic disease and drug r...
Isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency (ISOD) is a rare hereditary metabolic disease caused by absence of functional sulfite oxidase (SO) due to mutations of the SUOX gene. SO oxidizes toxic sulfite and sulfite accumulation is associated with neurologic...
Accurate pathogenicity prediction of missense variants is critically important in genetic studies and clinical diagnosis. Previously published prediction methods have facilitated the interpretation of missense variants but have limited performance. H...
Rifampicin resistance is a major therapeutic challenge, particularly in tuberculosis, leprosy, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus infections, where it develops via missense mutations in gene rpoB. Previously we have highlighted that these mutations reduce p...
Exome sequencing in diabetes presents a diagnostic challenge because depending on frequency, functional impact, and genomic and environmental contexts, HNF1A variants can cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), increase type 2 diabetes ris...
Advances in genome sequencing have led to a tremendous increase in the discovery of novel missense variants, but evidence for determining clinical significance can be limited or conflicting. Here, we present Learning from Evidence to Assess Pathogeni...
Computational prediction of binding between neoantigen peptides and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins can be used to predict patient response to cancer immunotherapy. Current neoantigen predictors focus on estimation of MHC binding aff...
