Modelling the order of driver mutations and metabolic mutations as structures in cancer dynamics [PDF]
Recent works have stressed the important role that random mutations have in the development of cancer phenotype. We challenge this current view by means of bioinformatic data analysis and computational modelling approaches. Not all the mutations are equally important for the development of metastasis.

INFLUENCE OF TAQI POLYMORPHISM IN MELANOCORTIN RECEPTOR (MC4R) ON PIG SLAUGHTERING TRAITS [PDF]
The aim of the research was to determine the influence of polymorphism in MC4R genes on slaughtering traits. The research was carried out on 60 crossbreeds of Large White and German Landrace in the dam line and of Duroc in the sire line.

Fine-tuning the ESM2 protein language model to understand the functional impact of missense variants [PDF]
Elucidating the functional effect of missense variants is of crucial importance, yet challenging. To understand the impact of such variants, we fine-tuned the ESM2 protein language model to classify 20 protein features at amino acid resolution. We used the resulting models to: 1) identify protein features that are enriched in either pathogenic or ...

Generation of Casp8FL122/123GG Mice Using CRISPR-Cas9 Technology
Summary: The purpose of this protocol is to describe the generation of missense mutations in mice using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. The current protocol focuses on the generation of a Casp8FL122/123GG missense mutation, but it can be adapted to introduce any

VEPerform: a web resource for evaluating the performance of variant effect predictors [PDF]
Computational variant effect predictors (VEPs) are providing increasingly strong evidence to classify the pathogenicity of missense variants. Precision vs. recall analysis is useful in evaluating VEP performance, especially when adjusted for imbalanced test sets.
