[2024-03-27] - Bug fix : in some cases (overlapping transcripts), a bug could prevent MobiDetails from retrieving the correct spliceAI values. The spliceAI 500 and spliceAI-visual scores were not concerned by the bug.

[2024-03-26] - New tool : Integration of GeneBe for semi-automated ACMG classifications. Thanks to Piotr Stawiński for giving us the authorisation to include GeneBe ACMG computation in MobiDetails.

[2024-01-18] - Modified MORFEE color code.

[2023-12-22] - RNA HGVS nomenclature is now searched in LOVD and displayed when available in the nomenclature table.

[2023-12-22] - New dataset : MORFEE (Mutation on Open Reading FramE annotation) is a tool that detects and annotates single nucleotide variants (SNVs)

  • creating canonical (ATG) and non-canonical Translation Initiation Sites (TIS)
  • creating Stop codons (TAA, TAG and TGA)
  • deleting Stop codons
in the 5’UTR (uTIS, uStop and New_uStop), the coding sequence (CDS, intTIS, intStop and New_intStop), and the 3’UTR (dTIS, dStop and New_dStop). MORFEE is an R package that could be applied on any VCF file. MORFEE has been applied to all possible SNVs, in the 5’UTR of ~18,000 genes. This so called in silico mutational saturation analysis led to the identification of more than 19,000,000 variations that could alter upORFs constituting the MORFEEdb. MORFEEdb is now available in MobiDetails. A manuscript describing MORFEEdb and its output will be soon made publicly available. For any information related to MORFEEdb output, please contact .

[2023-11-06] - Minor: New link : added direct link gnomAD v4 browser.

[2023-09-21] - New predictor : Integration of AlphaMissense predictions.

[2023-08-18] - Charles redesigned the Homepage.

[2023-07-28] - fixed bug that prevented users to create a new account.

[2023-07-06]

  • bedgraphs for SpliceAI-visual are now bgzipped and indexed with tabix in order to save some disk space on the server. Thanks to Jim Robinson for the essential igv.js and for solving an issue with the flask framework and the bgzipped files
  • MobiDetails proposes from now on a direct link to MIZTLI for missense variants 3D interpretation. Thanks to Dr. Blavier for the amazing work! MIZTLI proposes the interpretation of missense variants based on alphaFold models or from structures coming form the PDB. In the coming weeks the direct access should evolve to simplify the interpretation. You can from now on check the doc to learn how to manipulate MIZTLI!

[2023-07-03] - Dataset removed: the gnomAD 211 genome frequencies shown were always empty. The dataset has been removed waiting to find a long-term fix.

[2023-06-14]

  • feature update : dbsnp updated from v154 to v156 (github issue #53)
  • More comprehensible message for variants lying on non-coding transcripts (issue #52)

  • New predictor : Integration of AbSplice scores for substitutions (SNVs)
  • Minor: nomenclatures fields can now be copied using a button, see discussion #47
  • Minor: In addition, issue #42 has been fixed
  • Development and Staging versions are now visually identified with different colors in the navigation bar
  • added SweetAlert2 explanation and confirmation pop-ups when modifying favourite and clinvar watch lists (authenticated users)
  • Integration of a second internal server for VariantValidator. The policy is:
    • CLI calls directed to internal server 1 - if unavailable to internal server 2, if unavailable to the genuine English server
    • Web UI calls directed to internal server 2 - if unavailable to internal server 1, if unavailable to the genuine English server
    The goal is to avoid concurrent queries, and limit this issue which currently occurs on a daily basis.

[2023-03-31] - New feature : Authenticated (logged-in) users can now mark the variants as 'to be added in their ClinVar watch list'. More on this.

[2023-03-19] - New dataset : The REVEL scores are no longer retrieved from dbNSFP, but directly from the REVEL pre-computed dataset. When the hg38 position is not present in the dataset, MobiDetails checks the hg19 one.

[2023-03-03] - New feature : Mobidetails now live queries the ClinGen Evidence Repository and displays the corresponding ACMG classification just below the ClinVar results (to date 4706 curated variants in 81 genes).

[2022-12-19] - feature update : gnomad v3.0 becomes v3.1.2.

[2022-12-21] - New links : Links to OncoKB and CancerVar for genes recognised as oncogenes or tumor suppressor by OncoKB. Added also OncoKB info in gene page and link in gene redirection modal.

[2022-12-19] - New feature : gnomADv2 displays non cancer Max MAF + gnomad v2.0.1 becomes v2.1.1.

[2022-10-27] - New feature : LitVar has been updated to LitVar2 and the litvar pop-up updated.

[2022-10-27] - New feature : Transcripts that are reported by VariantValidator to poorly match to hg19 are now available for annotation in MobiDetails. Only hg38 linked resources are available. In addition, 43 genes and 3900+ transcripts have been unlocked. These transcripts are marked 'hg38 secured' as depending on the localisation of the variant on the transcript, or on the transcript itself, hg19 mapping may succeed or not. hg19 failed variants lack some annotations or links:

  • no EVS link
  • no intervar link nor section (waiting for an update)
  • no Regulome DB link
  • no hg19 nomenclatures
  • no gnomADv2
  • no hg19 defgen export
  • no LOVD export on classification

[2022-06-28] - New feature : A full transcript mutant prediction is now available in SpliceAI-visual on demand.

[2022-06-10] - Bug fix : Disabled SpliceAi Lookup button for delins variants as it does not correclty deal with this type of variants.

[2022-06-09] - Bug fix : Intergenic nucleotides were excluded from SpliceAI-visual predictions.

[2022-05-28] - New predictor : Bedgraph tracks representing spliceai raw scores are displayed in an igv.js browser. This functionality called 'SpliceAI-visual' is based on an original idea and code from Jean-Madeleine de Sainte Agathe and has been built in collaboration with him.

[2022-04-28] - Minor : MuPit called only for missense.

[2022-03-18] - Minor : Improved management of some VV warnings.

[2022-03-18] - Major :

  • New API endpoint /api/create/vcf_str: generates annotations from a pseudo-VCF nomenclature (VCF string, e.g. 1-216422237-G-A). Can be used in the search engine (hg38 default or genome version can be added in the VCF string, e.g. hg38-1-216422237-G-A). Separator can be ':', '_' or '-'. Genome version supports GRCh37, GRCh38, hg19, hg38, case insensitive.
  • Variants lying in these genes cannot (hopefully temporarily) be accessed: C5orf60, LYST, TET2, MICALCL, UROS, SLC26A10, TCP10L2, STAG2, CRYBG3, DNAH17, EFCAB8, TREX1, SLC22A18AS.
  • Along with the missense radar chart, the mean normalised scores for the single predictors family (e.g. SIFT) and for the meta-predictors (e.g. REVEL) are displayed.

[2022-03-03] - New data : Data from the ClinGen Specification Registry is now linked in MD. You can find specific links for the relevant genes in the gene pages (redirection modal) and in the corresponding variants pages. This may help you in using expert panels ACMG criteria during the classification process.

[2022-02-14] - Major : Added about 60,000 transcripts following a major update of VariantValidator. In addition, the submission of a variant lying in any of the proposed transcript will not be forced on canonical transcripts anymore. However, if possible, variants annotated on non-canonical transcripts by users will also be mapped on canonical transcripts (both annotations will be available). MD canonical transcript follow in most cases MANE annotations. Database scheme was also updated.

[2021-10-07] - Minor : Added new links to AlphaFold/EBI protein Structure Database to the gene (redirection modal) and variant pages.

[2021-08-09] - New data : Episignature data for 53 KMT2A variants are now available. See this review to learn more about this concept. Thanks to Pr. Lebre who brought the idea of integrating her team's results into MD.

[2021-06-28] - New tool version : SPiP has been updated to v2.1.

[2021-06-21] - several changes around SPiP:

  • New value for parameter caller for the /api/variant/ endpoint: Setting caller to 'clispip' will now return the full results including SPiP (takes longer), while using 'cli' will return the results without SPiP (faster). The swagger page has also bee nupdated to reflect this change.
  • SPiP results are now cached to be computed only once and enable a faster access the second (and third....) time
  • SPiP has been upgraded to v2. v2 is much more computer intensive than v1 (i.e. is slower). Start a Discussion on github if you have any comments!

[2021-06-18] - New predictor : SpliceAi lookup API can be requested with the non-default parameter distance of 500bp for almost all variants (except complex indels). This can be useful to analyse deep intronic variants as well as large dels and dups.
