New Features in Alamut version 1.3 (Feb. 2008)

  • This release features a new splicing prediction module. Alamut now integrates 3 in silico splice signal detection methods: a SpliceSiteFinder-like algorithm, MaxEntScan and GeneSplicer. Furthermore, known human splice junction n-mers are also reported, giving the user a number of theoretical clues about the effects of variants on splicing (see the Splicing Module Documentation). This module is no longer restricted to substitutions and can now work with all types of variations handled by Alamut.
  • PolyPhen, a variant-scoring web site, is back. Alamut now directly automates Internet Explorer to pre-fill forms for PolyPhen, SIFT and the more recent Align GVGD. (This new feature is only available on Windows).
  • Alamut now handles more correctly tandem substitutions leading to a missense.
  • ...and a few usability enhancements.
