	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Prioritizing missense variants for further experimental investigation is a key challenge in current sequencing studies for exploring complex and Mendelian diseases. A large number of&nbsp;</span><em>in silico</em><span>&nbsp;tools have been employed for the task of pathogenicity prediction, including PolyPhen‐2, SIFT, FatHMM, MutationTaster‐2, MutationAssessor, Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion, LRT, phyloP, and GERP++, as well as optimized methods of combining tool scores, such as Condel and Logit. Due to the wealth of these methods, an important practical question to answer is which of these tools generalize best, that is, correctly predict the pathogenic character of new variants. </span></p><p><span>Study of 10 tools on five datasets that such a comparative evaluation of these tools is hindered by two types of circularity: they arise due to (1) the same variants or (2) different variants from the same protein occurring both in the datasets used for training and for evaluation of these tools, which may lead to overly optimistic results. Comparative evaluations of predictors that do not address these types of circularity may erroneously conclude that circularity confounded tools are most accurate among all tools, and may even outperform optimized combinations of tools.</span></p><p><span>Following tools are useful for mis sense muation detection ...&nbsp;</span></p><p>PolyPhen‐2 (PP2)<br />&ldquo;Predicts possible impact of an amino acid substitution on the structure and function of a human protein using straightforward physical and comparative considerations&rdquo;</p><p>MutationTaster‐2 (MT2)<br />&ldquo;Evaluation of the disease‐causing potential of DNA sequence alterations&rdquo;</p><p>MutationAssessor (MASS)<br />&ldquo;Predicts the functional impact of amino acid substitutions in proteins, such as mutations discovered in cancer or missense polymorphisms&rdquo;</p><p>LRT<br />&ldquo;Identify a subset of deleterious mutations that disrupt highly conserved amino acids within protein‐coding sequences, which are likely to be unconditionally deleterious&rdquo;</p><p>SIFT<br />&ldquo;Predicts whether an amino acid substitution affects protein function&rdquo;</p><p>GERP++<br />&ldquo;Identifies constrained elements in multiple alignments by quantifying substitution deficits.

Dr. Joel Saltz is a Professor in the Departments of Pathology, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, and Mathematics and Computer Science at
Emory University. Dr. Saltz's research on bioinformatics spans several disciplines.  One project involves applying computer analysis to medical imaging to yield better results for patients.  As an example, a computer program may able to help doctors detect small cancers in a CT scan or mammogram. 

In this interview segment, Dr. Saltz  discusses the informatics approach to cancer.

  <title><![CDATA[DbBrowser: Attwood Lab]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>DbBrowser: Attwood Lab research concerns protein sequence analysis, primarily using the method of protein 'fingerprinting'. DbBrowser: Attwood Lab maintain a diagnostic fingerprint database (PRINTS), one of the founding partner of InterPro. We also design software to display sequence and structural data in visually-striking ways (e.g., Ambrosia, CINEMA); DbBrowser: Attwood Lab are building re-usable software components to create semantically integrated bioinformatics applications through UTOPIA, including a 'smart' PDF reader that links bioinformatics databases and tools directly with scientific articles (Utopia Documents); and have developed a number of tools for automatic annotation and text mining (e.g., MINOTAUR, PRECIS, METIS). </p>
