Variant Effect Prediction tools and databases

  • AlphaMissense

    AI model developed by Google DeepMind that predicts the pathogenicity of every possible missense mutation in the human proteome (Cheng et al., 2023). The model builds on the protein structure prediction tool AlphaFold2 (Jumper et al., 2021) and uses predicted structural context and fine-tuning on weak labels from population frequency data to provide variant effect predictions at scale. R/Bioconductor interface:

  • AUTO-MUTE

  • CADD

  • CanDrA

    96 structural, evolutionary and gene features

  • CAROL

  • CHASM

Clinically-focused databases

  • Cancer Genome Interpreter

    designed to support the identification of tumor alterations that drive the disease and detect those that may be therapeutically actionable. CGI relies on existing knowledge collected from several resources and on computational methods that annotate the alterations in a tumor according to distinct levels of evidence. [web app, API]

  • CanDL

    an expert-curated database of potentially actionable driver mutations for molecular pathologists and laboratory directors to facilitate literature-based annotation of genomic testing of tumors. [web app, Download]

  • CiViC

    CIViC is an open access, open source, community-driven web resource for Clinical Interpretation of Variants in Cancer. [web app, API, Download]

  • Database of Curated Mutations (DOCM)

    DoCM, the Database of Curated Mutations, is a highly curated database of known, disease-causing mutations that provides easily explorable variant lists with direct links to source citations for easy verification. [web app, API, Download]

  • DGIdb

    Mining the druggable genome for personalized medicine. [web app, API, Download]

  • JAX Lab Clinical Knowledge Base

    The Jackson Laboratory Clinical Knowledgebase (CKB) is a semi-automated/manually curated database of gene/variant annotations, therapy knowledge, diagnostic/prognostic information, and clinical trials related to oncology. [web app]

Annotation tools and software

  • PCGR

    The Personal Cancer Genome Reporter (PCGR) is a stand-alone software package for functional annotation and translation of individual cancer genomes for precision oncology. It interprets both somatic SNVs/InDels and copy number aberrations. The software extends basic gene and variant annotations from the Ensembl’s Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) with oncology-relevant, up-to-date annotations retrieved flexibly through vcfanno, and produces interactive HTML reports intended for clinical interpretation. - [Software tool]

  • UNMIRI NGS interpretation API & schema

    [API, Software tool]
