Use of estimated evolutionary strength at the codon level improves the prediction of disease-related protein mutations in humans.

Abstract excerpt

Predicting the functional impact of protein variation is one of the most challenging problems in bioinformatics. A rapidly growing number of genome-scale studies provide large amounts of experimental data, allowing the application of rigorous statistical approaches for predicting whether a given single point mutation has an impact on human health. Up until now, existing methods have limited their source data to...
