How can I get a list of papers where a particular mutation has been mentioned?
You could use the pubmed API to query it directly. Typically I use Biopython for my pubmed queries. There are some good examples in the cookbook and on other SO posts.
This example from the ...

How to get unique somatic mutations for each individual patients
If what you want is to split the main VCF file into 1 file per sample, you could use bcftools query and view commands.

Is there a aminoacid mutation that forms similar protein?
A mutation is most often likely to be either neutral (no effect) or destabiling (protein misfolds). Changes in activity require changes at the active site or the entranceway to it —which are often ...

>My counter is counting genotypic combination occurences more than once, how do I ensure it counts one combination and doesnt count it again?

Show presence of known mutation in RNA-seq data
For counting reads I use mpileup, e.g. samtools mpileup --reference hg38.fa -r Chr10:18000-45500 input.bam, which will give base-resolution coverage for a BAM file.

Why can't AlphaFold predict the consequences of point-mutations?

How to calculate various properties of a protein structure per atom using PDB2PQR and Rosetta tools (or any other tools)?
Per Atom
You are correct. Rosetta scorefunction does not store any per atom data. The scoring operates at the per residue level. Whereas each atom has its coordinates and properties in full atom mode, ...

calculating mutation frequencies for every gene
The code is fine. The only issue is you'd put \s characters in-between the column header names. I've place an additional "mutation_frequency" column because thats how I'd do it.
