Many biomedical problems relate to mutant functional properties across a sequence space of interest, e.g., flu, cancer, and HIV. Detailed knowledge of mutant properties and function improves medical treatment and prevention. A functional census of p53 cancer rescue mutants would aid the search for cancer treatments from p53 mutant rescue. We devised a general methodology for conducting a functional census of a mutation sequence space by choosing informative mutants early. The methodology was tested in a double-blind predictive test on the functional rescue property of 71 novel putative p53 cancer rescue mutants iteratively predicted in sets of three (24 iterations). The first double-blind 15-point moving accuracy was 47 percent and the last was 86 percent; r = 0.01 before an epiphanic 16th iteration and r = 0.92 afterward. Useful mutants were chosen early (overall r = 0.80).

许多生物医学问题都与感兴趣的序列空间中的突变功能特性相关,例如流感、癌症和艾滋病病毒。对突变特性和功能的详细了解有助于改善医疗和预防。对p53癌症拯救突变体进行功能普查将有助于从p53突变体拯救中寻找癌症治疗方法。我们设计了一种通用方法,通过尽早选择信息丰富的突变体来对突变序列空间进行功能普查。该方法在对71个新的假定p53癌症拯救突变体的功能拯救特性进行的双盲预测测试中进行了测试,这些突变体以三个一组的方式进行迭代预测(共24次迭代)。第一次双盲15点移动准确率为47%,最后一次为86%;在第16次顿悟迭代之前r = 0.01,之后r = 0.92。有用的突变体被尽早选择(总体r = 0.80)。代码和数据可免费获取(http://www.igb.uci.edu/research/research.html,计算方面的通讯作者:R.H.L.,生物学方面的通讯作者:R.K.B.)。
