1. Assessment of variant effect prediction

Author

Grimm, Dominik (Prof. Dr.), Rost, Burkhard (Prof. Dr.), Reeb, Jonas, Grimm, Dominik (Prof. Dr.), Rost, Burkhard (Prof. Dr.), and Reeb, Jonas

Abstract

The thesis discusses the challenges faced by methods which predict the effect of protein sequence variants. The analyses illustrate that methods are biased towards deleterious, high effect variants which exhibit strong sequence conservation. Furthermore, variants with beneficial effect are generally neglected. Overall, no method performs best under all circumstances. Accounting for deficiencies will allow methods to support clinical action and drive large-scale adoption of precision medicine., Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit Herausforderungen für Methoden, die den Effekt von Proteinsequenzvarianten vorhersagen. Die Analysen zeigen, dass sie dazu neigen, Varianten mit starkem, schädlichem Effekt zu detektieren. Des Weiteren werden Varianten mit positivem Effekt generell vernachlässigt. Keine einzelne Methode zeigt unter allen Umständen die beste Leistung. Zukünftige Anstrengungen werden klinische Anwendungen und damit die umfassende Einführung von Präzisionsmedizin unterstützen.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:The Critical Assessment of Functional Annotation (CAFA) is an ongoing, global, community-driven effort to evaluate and improve the computational annotation of protein function. RESULTS:Here, we report on the results of the third CAFA challenge, CAFA3, that featured an expanded analysis over the previous CAFA rounds, both in terms of volume of data analyzed and the types of analysis performed. In a novel and major new development, computational predictions and assessment goals drove some of the experimental assays, resulting in new functional annotations for more than 1000 genes. Specifically, we performed experimental whole-genome mutation screening in Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aureginosa genomes, which provided us with genome-wide experimental data for genes associated with biofilm formation and motility. We further performed targeted assays on selected genes in Drosophila melanogaster, which we suspected of being involved in long-term memory. CONCLUSION:We conclude that while predictions of the molecular function and biological process annotations have slightly improved over time, those of the cellular component have not. Term-centric prediction of experimental annotations remains equally challenging; although the performance of the top methods is significantly better than the expectations set by baseline methods in C. albicans and D. melanogaster, it leaves considerable room and need for improvement. Finally, we report that the CAFA community now involves a broad range of participants with expertise in bioinformatics, biological experimentation, biocuration, and bio-ontologies, working together to improve functional annotation, computational function prediction, and our ability to manage big data in the era of large experimental screens.

Specifically, we performed experimental whole-genome mutation screening in Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aureginosa genomes, which provided us with genome-wide experimental data for genes associated with biofilm formation and motility. We further performed targeted assays on selected genes in Drosophila melanogaster, which we suspected of being involved in long-Term memory. Conclusion: We conclude that while predictions of the molecular function and biological process annotations have slightly improved over time, those of the cellular component have not. Term-centric prediction of experimental annotations remains equally challenging; although the performance of the top methods is significantly better than the expectations set by baseline methods in C. albicans and D. melanogaster, it leaves considerable room and need for improvement. Finally, we report that the CAFA community now involves a broad range of participants with expertise in bioinformatics, biological experimentation, biocuration, and bio-ontologies, working together to improve functional annotation, computational function prediction, and our ability to manage big data in the era of large experimental screens. © 2019 The Author(s).
