Revisiting Polar Bears: Evolution News

I don’t read ENV so I missed all that, thanks.

This is perhaps right in @swamidass wheelhouse, but a very recent paper compared various methods of predicting ‘pathogenicity’ and found a range of effectiveness. PolyPhen-2 is median. I don’t know whether DI is selling PPH2 as some kind of gold standard, but this paper seems to show that there are much better tools.
