Proteoforms arise as protein isoforms or as protein haplotypes, which are the result of genetic variation. Here, the authors develop Haplosaurus, a database that computes protein haplotypes genome-wide from existing genotype data and analyse protein haplotype variability in the 1000 Genomes dataset.
