SIFT predicts whether an amino acid substitution affects protein function based on sequence homology and the physical properties of amino acids. SIFT can be applied to naturally occurring nonsynonymous polymorphisms and laboratory-induced missense mutations.

UPDATE on 25 Apr 2024
  • Security updates
UPDATE on 31 Mar 2022
  • Move to new server
UPDATE on 6 Dec 2019
  • Change SIFT4G Annotator to browse for genome locally instead of dynamically querying SIFT website due to change in A-STAR security web policy
  • Github code for building SIFT 4G databases changed to allow more per missive gff files (start and stop codons no longer required)
UPDATE on 17 July 2019
  • Added security to the webpages SIFT Sequence, SIFT Related Sequence, and SIFT Aligned Sequences
UPDATE on 20 March 2018
  • Added field validation to the webpages SIFT For Genomes and SIFT indels
UPDATE on 18 March 2018
  • Added field validation to the webpages SIFT Sequence, SIFT Related Sequence, and SIFT Aligned Sequences
