Highlights • Variant Effect Prediction ( VEP ) tools are essential for assessing the pathogenicity of genetic variants . • A benchmark analysis of 65 different VEPs and 4 separate datasets, making it one of the most rigorous evaluations to date. • AlphaMissense stands out as one of the most effective and user-friendly tools, even for non-specialists. • Biases have an impact on the quality ...

In this work, we consider Variant Effect Predictors ( VEPs ) to be databases or software packages that predict the functional impacts of genetic variants . Each VEP is usually specialized in annotating one or a few categories of variants , such as single nucleotide variations (SNVs), indels, missense variants , or structural variants (SVs) (Geoffroy ...

Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP)

Ensembl VEP predicts the effect of your variants (SNPs, insertions, deletions, CNVs or structural variants ) on gene transcripts and protein sequence, as well as regulatory regions. It reports reference data including gene and variant phenotype associations and population allele frequencies to facilitate variant prioritisation and interpretation.

Computational methods for assessing the likely impacts of mutations, known as variant effect predictors ( VEPs ), are widely used in the assessment and interpretation of human genetic variation, as well as in other applications like protein engineering. Many different VEPs have been released, and there is tremendous variability in their underlying algorithms, outputs, and the ways in which the ...
