Abstract

Understanding the functional consequences of human genetic variation is essential for realizing the promise of genomics. Functional assays provide fundamental insights into gene and protein biology, reveal the molecular mechanisms by which variants perturb cellular systems, and supply critical evidence for clinical variant classification. However, most variants remain uncharacterized, existing data are fragmented across disparate formats, and translation into clinically actionable evidence has been limited.
