New predictions of genetic variant pathogenicity using AlphaFold protein structures

(19.09.2023)

Google DeepMind has developed a new tool called AlphaMissense, which uses the AlphaFold human protein structure models to predict whether a sequence variant which changes one amino acid in a protein is likely to be tolerated or to impact protein function.

The Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor now integrates Google DeepMind’s new AlphaMissense Catalogue.
