Dear Authors

You might want to consider comparing your approach for variant prediction to results from following two paper: plausibly the state-of-art for variant prediction from sequence:

1. The unsupervised probabilistic modeling in of Hopf, Ingraham et al., " Mutation effects predicted from sequence co-variation" Nature Biotechnology Jan 2017https://www.nature.com/articles/nbt.3769 .
Compared to 33 deep mutational scans.

2.( Unsupervised) Variational autoencoder, Riesselman, Ingraham, Marks "Deep generative models of genetic variation capture the effects of mutations" . Nature Methods 2018
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-018-0138-4
Compared to 40 deep mutational scans
