Abstract excerpt
Predicting the effects of one or more mutations to the in vivo or in vitro properties of a wild-type protein is a major computational challenge, due to the presence of epistasis, that is, of interactions between amino acids in the sequence. We introduce a computationally efficient procedure to build minimal epistatic models to predict mutational effects by combining evolutionary (homologous sequence) and few...
