Automated inference of molecular mechanisms of disease from amino acid substitutions
2009
Bioinformatics
Over the last decade, a number of computational methods have been developed to predict whether such amino acid substitutions result in an altered phenotype. ...
Single nucleotide substitutions within protein coding regions are of particular importance owing to their potential to give rise to amino acid substitutions that affect protein structure and function which ...
