Description
The "Constraint scores" container track includes several subtracks showing the results of
constraint prediction algorithms. These try to find regions of negative
selection, where variations likely have functional impact. The algorithms do
not use multi-species alignments to derive evolutionary constraint, but use
primarily human variation, usually from variants collected by gnomAD (see the
gnomAD V2 or V3 tracks on hg19 and hg38) or TOPMED (contained in our dbSNP
-tracks and available as a filter).
+tracks and available as a filter). One of the subtracks is based on UK Biobank
+variants, which are not available publicly, so we have no track with the raw data.
+The number of human genomes that are used as the input for these scores are
+76k, 53k and 110k for gnomAD, TOPMED and UK Biobank, respectively.
Note that another important constraint score, gnomAD
-constraint, is not part of this container but can be found in the hg38 gnomAD

The algorithms included in this track are:
-
JARVIS - "Junk" Annotation genome-wide Residual Variation Intolerance Score:
JARVIS scores were created by first scanning the entire genome with a
sliding-window approach (using a 1-nucleotide step), recording the number of
all TOPMED variants and common variants, irrespective of their predicted effect,
within each window, to eventually calculate a single-nucleotide resolution
genome-wide residual variation intolerance score (gwRVIS). That score, gwRVIS
was then combined with primary genomic sequence context, and additional genomic
annotations with a multi-module deep learning framework to infer
pathogenicity of noncoding regions that still remains naive to existing
phylogenetic conservation metrics. The higher the score, the more deleterious
- the prediction.
+ the prediction. This score covers the entire genome, except the gaps.
-
HMC - Homologous Missense Constraint:
Homologous Missense Constraint (HMC) is a amino acid level measure
of genetic intolerance of missense variants within human populations.
For all assessable amino-acid positions in Pfam domains, the number of
missense substitutions directly observed in gnomAD (Observed) was counted
and compared to the expected value under a neutral evolution
model (Expected). The upper limit of a 95% confidence interval for the
Observed/Expected ratio is defined as the HMC score. Missense variants
disrupting the amino-acid positions with HMC<0.8 are predicted to be
- likely deleterious.
+ likely deleterious. This score only covers PFAM domains within coding regions.

MetaDome - Tolerance Landscape Score (hg19 only):
MetaDome Tolerance Landscape scores are computed as a missense over synonymous
variant count ratio, which is calculated in a sliding window (with a size of 21

-
MTR - Missense Tolerance Ratio (hg19 only):
Missense Tolerance Ratio (MTR) scores aim to quantify the amount of purifying
selection acting specifically on missense variants in a given window of
protein-coding sequence. It is estimated across sliding windows of 31 codons
(default) and uses observed standing variation data from the WES component of
gnomAD / the Exome Aggregation Consortium Database (ExAC), version 2.0. Scores

+ is higher than the number of gnomAD 3 samples (125 exoms versus 76k full genomes),

+ UK Biobank depletion rank score (hg38 only):

+ 500bp window of the genome and compared this number to an expected number
+ given the heptamer nucleotide composition of the window and the fraction of

+ classes. A variant depletion score was computed for every overlapping set
+ of 500-bp windows in the genome with a 50-bp step size. They then assigned
+ a rank (depletion rank (DR)) from 0 (most depletion) to 100 (least
+ depletion) for each 500-bp window. Since the windows are overlapping, we
+ plot the value only in the central 50bp of the 500bp window, following
+ advice from the author of the score,
+ Hakon Jonsson, deCODE Genetics. He suggested that the value of the central
+ window, rather than the worst possible score of all overlapping windows, is
+ the most informative for a position. This score covers almost the entire genome,
+ only very few regions were excluded, where the genome sequence had too many gap characters.
Display Conventions and Configuration
JARVIS
JARVIS scores are shown as a signal ("wiggle") track, with one score per genome position.
Mousing over the bars displays the exact values. The scores were downloaded and converted to a single bigWig file.
Move the mouse over the bars to display the exact values. A horizontal line is shown at the 0.733
value which signifies the 90th percentile.

hg38 makeDoc.
Interpretation: The authors offer a suggested guideline of > 0.9998 for identifying
higher confidence calls and minimizing false positives. In addition to that strict threshold, the
following two more relaxed cutoffs can be used to explore additional hits. Note that these
