The *MungeSumstats* package is designed to facilitate the standardisation of GWAS summary statistics. It reformats inputted summary statisitics to include SNP, CHR, BP and can look up these values if any are missing. It also pefrorms dozens of QC and filtering steps to ensure high data quality and minimise inter-study differences.

Identification of the most likely gene or genes through which variation at a given genomic locus in the human genome acts. The most basic functionality assumes that the closer gene is to the input locus, the more likely the gene is to be causative. Additionally, any empirical data that links genomic regions to genes (e.g. eQTL or genome conformation data) can be used if it is supplied in the UCSC .BED file format.

Given admixed individuals' bi-allelic SNP genotypes and ancestry pairs (where each ancestry can take one of three values) for multiple SNPs, perform an EM algorithm to deal with the fact that SNP genotypes are unphased with respect to ancestry pairs, in order to estimate ancestry-specific allele frequencies for all SNPs.

The AlphaMissense publication <https://www.science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126/science.adg7492> outlines how a variant of AlphaFold / DeepMind was used to predict missense variant pathogenicity. Supporting data on Zenodo <https://zenodo.org/record/10813168> include, for instance, 71M variants across hg19 and hg38 genome builds. The 'AlphaMissenseR' package allows ready access to the data, downloading individual files to DuckDB databases for exploration and integration into *R* and *Bioconductor* workflows.
