It is a deep generative model that combines cross-species evolutionary scores with human population variation: scores from EVE (an evolutionary variational autoencoder) and the ESM-1v protein language model are calibrated against allele observations in the UK Biobank using a Gaussian process, yielding a continuous, human-specific measure of variant impact. This track shows popEVE scores for all missense substitutions across roughly 18,000 human proteins.

Each entry spans one protein at its genomic locus. The heatmap columns correspond to individual amino acid positions in the protein, placed at the codon's genomic coordinate. -The rows correspond to the 20 standard amino acids, ordered by amino acid class to match -the MaveDB track. Each cell -shows the popEVE score for substituting the wildtype amino acid at that position with the -row amino acid. All 19 possible substitutions are scored at each position; only the wildtype -cell is left empty. A small number of proteins, taken from an earlier data release that -provided only genomic single-nucleotide variants, show just the substitutions reachable by a -single-nucleotide change (roughly 6 of 19 per position) and therefore appear sparser. +The rows correspond to the 20 standard amino acids, ordered by amino acid class to match the +MaveDB Heatmaps track.

Unlike per-gene scores, popEVE is calibrated across the whole proteome, so cells are colored on a single global gradient keyed to the raw popEVE score (lower, more negative scores are more deleterious). The color is interpolated between the five anchors below: the published severe and moderate thresholds are fixed anchors, and the extremes saturate at the 0.5th and 99.5th percentiles of the proteome-wide score distribution.

Data Access

The data can be explored interactively in table format with the Table Browser or the Data Integrator and exported from there to spreadsheet or tab-separated tables. From scripts, the data can be accessed through our API, track=popEve.

For automated download and analysis, the genome annotation is stored in a bigBed file that can be downloaded from -our download +our download server. The file for this track is called popEve.bb. Individual regions or the whole genome annotation can be obtained using our tool bigBedToBed, which can be compiled from the source code or downloaded as a precompiled binary for your system. Instructions for downloading source code and binaries can be found -here. +here. The tool can also be used to obtain features within a given range, e.g. -bigBedToBed http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/$db/popEve/popEve.bb -chrom=chr17 +bigBedToBed https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/$db/popEve/popEve.bb -chrom=chr17 -start=43000000 -end=43200000 stdout
