-REVEL is an ensemble method for predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants 
+REVEL is an ensemble method for predicting a score for missense variants 
 based on a combination of scores from 13 individual tools: MutPred, FATHMM v2.3, 
 VEST 3.0, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster, LRT, GERP++, 
 SiPhy, phyloP, and phastCons. REVEL was trained using recently discovered pathogenic 
 and rare neutral missense variants, excluding those previously used to train its 
 constituent tools. The REVEL score for an individual missense variant can range 
 from 0 to 1, with higher scores reflecting greater likelihood that the variant is 
 disease-causing. 
 </p>
 
 <p>Most authors of deleteriousness scores argue against using fixed cutoffs in
 diagnostics. But to give an idea of the meaning of the score value, the REVEL
 authors note: "For example, 75.4% of disease mutations but only 10.9% of
 neutral variants (and 12.4% of all ESVs) have a REVEL score above 0.5,
 corresponding to a sensitivity of 0.754 and specificity of 0.891. Selecting a
 more stringent REVEL score threshold of 0.75 would result in higher specificity

 field, some transcripts have been agreed-on as more relevant for a disease, e.g.
 because only certain transcripts may be expressed in the relevant tissue. So
 the choice of the most relevant transcript, and as such the REVEL score, may be
 a question of manual curation standards rather than a result of the variant itself.

 When using this track, zoom in until you can see every basepair at the
 top of the display. Otherwise, there are several nucleotides per pixel under 
 your mouse cursor and no score will be shown on the mouseover tooltip.

 <p>For hg38, note that the data was converted from the hg19 data using the UCSC
 liftOver program, by the REVEL authors. This can lead to missing values or
 duplicated values. When a hg38 position is annotated with two scores due to the
 lifting, the authors removed all the scores for this position. They did the same when
 the reference allele has changed from hg19 to hg38.  Also, on hg38, the track has
 the "lifted" icon to indicate
 this. You can double-check if a nucleotide
 position is possibly affected by the lifting procedure by activating the track
 "Hg19 Mapping" under "Mapping and Sequencing".
