Eigen scores for human genome assembly GRCh37 Part 4 (Chr17 - Chr22)

Eigen is a spectral approach to the functional annotation of genetic variants in coding and noncoding regions. Eigen makes use of a variety of functional annotations in both coding and noncoding regions (such as protein function scores, evolutionary conservation scores, and epigenetic annotations from ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics projects), and combines them into one single measure of functional importance. Eigen is an unsupervised approach, and, unlike many existing methods, is not based on any labelled training data. Eigen produces estimates of predictive accuracy for each functional annotation score, and subsequently uses these estimates of accuracy to derive the aggregate functional score for variants of interest as a weighted linear combination of individual annotations.
