# Find paralogue regions of all input variants using Ensembl paralogue annotation
# (automatically created if not in current directory) and fetch variants within
# those regions from VEP cache and whose clinical significance partially
# matches 'pathogenic'
./vep -i variations.vcf --cache --plugin Paralogues
# Find paralogue regions of input variants using Ensembl paralogue annotation
# (automatically created if not in current directory) and fetch variants within
# those regions from a custom VCF file (regardless of their clinical significance)
./vep -i variations.vcf --cache --plugin Paralogues,vcf=/path/to/file.vcf,clnsig=ignore
# Same using a custom VCF file but filtering for 'pathogenic' variants
./vep -i variations.vcf --cache --plugin Paralogues,vcf=/path/to/file.vcf,clnsig_col=CLNSIG
# Same but output different fields
./vep -i variations.vcf --cache --plugin Paralogues,vcf=/path/to/file.vcf.gz,clnsig_col=CLNSIG,fields=identifier:alleles:CLNSIG:CLNVI:GENEINFO

=head1 DESCRIPTION
A VEP plugin that fetches variants overlapping the genomic coordinates of amino
acids aligned between paralogue proteins. This is useful to predict the
pathogenicity of variants in paralogue positions.
This plugin can determine paralogue regions for a variant based on:
1. Pre-computed matches between genomic regions and paralogue variants.
For this approach, either download the file calculated using ClinVar variants and respective TBI from
https://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/current_variation/Paralogues or create such matches file yourself. Details on how
to create such 'matches' file can be found below.
2. Ensembl paralogue annotation. These versatile annotations can look up
paralogue regions for all variants from any species with Ensembl
paralogues, but take longer to process.
After retrieving the paralogue regions, this plugin fetches variants
overlapping those regions from one of the following sources (by this order):
1. Custom VCF via the 'vcf' parameter
2. VEP cache (in cache/offline mode)
3. Ensembl API (in database mode)
To create a 'matches' file based on a custom set of variants, run VEP using
`--plugin Paralogues,regions=1,min_perc_cov=0,min_perc_pos=0,clnsig=ignore`
and the `--vcf` option. Afterwards, process the output of the VEP command:
`perl -e "use Paralogues; Paralogues::prepare_matches_file('variant_effect_output.txt')"`
Options are passed to the plugin as key=value pairs:
matches : Tabix-indexed TSV file with pre-computed matches between
genomic regions and paralogue variants (fastest method); this
option is incompatible with the `paralogues` and `vcf` options
dir : Directory with paralogue annotation (the annotation is created
in this folder if the paralogue annotation files do not exist)
paralogues : Tabix-indexed TSV file with paralogue annotation (if the file
does not exist, the annotation is automatically created); if
set to 'remote', the annotation is fetched but not stored
vcf : Tabix-indexed VCF file to fetch variant information (if not
used, variants are fetched from VEP cache in cache/offline
mode or Ensembl API in database mode)
fields : Colon-separated list of information from paralogue variants to
output (default: 'identifier:alleles:clinical_significance');
keyword 'all' can be used to print all fields; available
fields include 'identifier', 'chromosome', 'start', 'alleles',
'perc_cov', 'perc_pos', and 'clinical_significance' (if
`clnsig_col` is defined for custom VCF); additional fields
are available depending on variant source:
- VEP cache: 'end' and 'strand'
- Ensembl API: 'end', 'strand', 'source', 'consequence' and
'gene_symbol'
- Custom VCF: 'quality', 'filter' and name of INFO fields
- Matches file: check column names in file header
clnsig : Clinical significance term to filter variants (default:
'pathogenic'); use 'ignore' to fetch all paralogue variants,
regardless of clinical significance
clnsig_match : Type of match when filtering variants based on option
`clnsig`: 'partial' (default), 'exact' or 'regex'
clnsig_col : Column name containing clinical significance in custom VCF
(required with `vcf` option and if `clnsig` is not 'ignore')
min_perc_cov : Minimum alignment percentage of the peptide associated with
the input variant (default: 0)
min_perc_pos : Minimum percentage of positivity (similarity) between both
homologues (default: 50)
regions : Boolean value to return regions used to look up paralogue
variants (default: 1)
The tabix utility must be installed in your path to read the paralogue
annotation, the custom VCF file and the matches file.
