Human mutation - 1 Mar 2017

Abstract excerpt
To interpret genetic variants discovered from next-generation sequencing, integration of heterogeneous information is vital for success. This article describes a framework named PERCH (Polymorphism Evaluation, Ranking, and Classification for a Heritable trait), available at http://BJFengLab.org/. It can prioritize disease genes by quantitatively unifying a new deleteriousness measure called BayesDel, an improved...
