TL;DR

This chapter introduces a practical protocol that contrasts a conventional variant-calling approach with a modern AI/ML-based method using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data, and demonstrates that AI-based methods, such as DeepVariant, provide enhanced accuracy and confidence in genotype prediction compared to rule-based tools such as RNA-Mutect2.

T-rex: standardized analysis of germline variants in whole-exome sequencing trios

Whole-exome sequencing (WES) enables the identification of rare germline variants contributing to pediatric diseases. Trio-based sequencing, comparing affected children with their parents, is particularly effective for rare disease genetics. However, WES data analysis requires bioinformatics expertise, varies across in...

A Practical Workflow for Correcting Kit-Specific Effects in Whole-Exome Sequencing Data

A workflow to minimize the effect of WES capture inconsistencies in single-nucleotide variation (SNV) data is proposed, which leads to a considerable decrease in the batch effect signal, potentially increasing the likelihood of finding true biological signals.

GATES: A Lightweight Tool Automating Pathogenic Variant Discovery From Raw Whole-Exome Sequencing Data

Background Whole-exome sequencing is a widely used technology to identify pathogenic variants in cancer. Although sequencing itself has become increasingly accessible, downstream analysis remains computationally complex, presenting a challenge for many researchers. Existing pipelines lack integrated support for somatic...

DBP-CanPred: a machine learning model for predicting cancer-causing mutations in DNA-binding proteins

A machine learning model is trained, DBP-CanPred, to identify driver mutations in DBPs using the sequence-derived evolutionary features, as well as structure-based features such as mutation-perturbed structural descriptors, which contributes to understanding mutation patterns in DNA-binding proteins and supports varian...
