Alamut® Visual 2.0 introduced automatically computed missense predictions, while still retaining the ability to query prediction sites manually, giving users the opportunity to adjust prediction settings and options.
Currently, automatically computed predictions are provided for Align GVGD, SIFT and MutationTaster.
Automatically computed predictions are available in the variant window and in variant export data.
The click buttons enable also to automatically fill in the predictors forms.
This section describes how automatically computed missense predictions are provided in Alamut® Visual.
Align GVGD predictions are computed using the orthologue alignment provided by Alamut® Visual for the gene under study. See also Orthologue Alignments.
Align GVGD scores interpretation: here.
Current version for precomputed predictions: Align GVGD Tavtigian et al. (2006)
SIFT predictions are computed using the orthologue alignment provided by Alamut® Visual for the gene under study. See SIFT Aligned Sequences.
SIFT scores interpretation: here.
Current version for precomputed predictions: SIFT 6.2.0
MutationTaster predictions are computed using the mapping between NCBI RefSeq and Ensembl Transcript Ids available in Alamut® Visual.
MutationTaster scores interpretation: here.
MutationTaster automatic predictions can be activated or deactivated with the Options dialog box (menu 'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Display' tab).
Current version for precomputed predictions: MutationTaster2 from MutationTaster website
The PolyPhen-2 automatic predictions are not available due to licencing reasons (March 2013).
You can query the prediction site with an automatically filled web form by clicking on "PolyPhen-2..." button.
