X Abstract

Motivation: Contemporary, high-throughput sequencing efforts have identified a rich source of naturally occurring single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), a subset of which occur in the coding region of genes and result in a change in the encoded amino acid sequence (non-synonymous coding SNPs or nsSNPs'). It is hypothesized that a subset of these nsSNPs may underlie common human disease. Testing all these polymorphisms for disease association would be time consuming and expensive. Thus, computational methods have been developed to both prioritize candidate nsSNPs and make sense of their likely molecular physiologic impact. Results: We have developed a method to prioritize nsSNPs and have applied it to the human protein kinase gene family. The results of our analyses provide high quality predictions and outperform available whole genome prediction methods (74% versus 83% prediction accuracy). Our analyses and methods consider both DNA sequence conservation, which most traditional methods are based on, as well unique structural and functional features of kinases. We provide a ranked list of common kinase nsSNPs that have a higher probability of impacting human disease based on our analyses.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
