A web application and service for imputing and visualizing missense variant effect maps

Bioinformatics. 2019 Sep 1;35(17):3191-3193. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btz012.

Abstract

Summary: The promise of personalized genomic medicine depends on our ability to assess the functional impact of rare sequence variation. Multiplexed assays can experimentally measure the functional impact of missense variants on a massive scale. However, even after such assays, many missense variants remain poorly measured. Here we describe a software pipeline and application to impute missing information in experimentally determined variant effect maps.
