CADD-Splice—improving genome-wide variant effect prediction using deep learning-derived splice scores

Abstract Background Splicing of genomic exons into mRNAs is a critical prerequisite for the accurate synthesis of human proteins. Genetic variants impacting splicing underlie a substantial proportion of genetic disease, but are challenging to identify beyond those occurring at donor and acceptor din...
