Traveller Genes Data Dictionary
Traveller Genes is a research study supported by the Traveller community. We're looking at the genetics, origins and health of over 200 volunteers who have at least two grandparents who are or were Travellers. This includes ... -
Pathogenic loss-of-function, gain-of-function and dominant-negative mutations have profoundly different effects on protein structure: implications for variant effect prediction
The dataset contains all the protein variants, their annotations and variant effect predictor scores used in the analysis outlined in our study. Abstract of the study: Most known pathogenic mutations occur in protein-coding ... -
