| 2020 | Rhapsody: predicting the pathogenicity of human missense variantsabstractMOTIVATION: The biological effects of human missense variants have been studied experimentally for decades but predicting their effects in clinical molecular diagnostics remains challenging. Available computational tools are usually based on the analysis of sequence conservation and structural properties of the mutant protein. We recently introduced a new machine learning method that demonstrated for the first time the significance of protein dynamics in determining the pathogenicity of missense variants. RESULTS: Here, we present a new interface (Rhapsody) that enables fully automated assessment of pathogenicity, incorporating both sequence coevolution data and structure- and dynamics-based features. Benchmarked against a dataset of about 20 000 annotated variants, the methodology is shown to outperform well-established and/or advanced prediction tools. We illustrate the utility of Rhapsody by in silico saturation mutagenesis studies of human H-Ras, phosphatase and tensin homolog and thiopurine S-methyltransferase. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The new tool is available both as an online webserver at http://rhapsody.csb.pitt.edu and as an open-source Python package (GitHub repository: https://github.com/prody/rhapsody; PyPI package installation: pip install prody-rhapsody). Links to additional resources, tutorials and package documentation are provided in the 'Python package' section of the website. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online. Luca Ponzoni, Daniel A. Peñaherrera, Zoltán N. Oltvai, Ivet Bahar |
