Positional conservation and amino acids shape the correct diagnosis and population frequencies of benign and damaging personal amino acid mutations.

Abstract excerpt

As the cost of DNA sequencing drops, we are moving beyond one genome per species to one genome per individual to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease by using personal genotypes. Computational methods are frequently applied to predict impairment of gene function by nonsynonymous mutations in individual genomes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (nSNPs) in populations. These computational tools...
