rfPred-package {rfPred} | R Documentation

## Assign functional prediction rfPred scores to human missense variants (random forest method based on SIFT, Polyphen2, PhyloP, LRT and Mutation Taster)

### Description

The package provides a function which returns the rfPred score for a list of non-synonymous missense variants. All the rfPred scores are pre-calculated and stored in a `TabixFile` available on a server and which can be downloaded for using the package while not connected on the Internet. The package does not work without an access to the `TabixFile`. However, a toy example on the chromosome Y is available within the package to test the `rfPred_scores` function. curves with numbers of subjects at risk, compare data sets, display spaghetti-plot, build multi-contingency tables...
