SpliceAI is a deep neural network, developed by Illumina, Inc that predicts splice junctions from an arbitrary pre-mRNA transcript sequence. Delta score of a variant, defined as the maximum of (DS_AG, DS_AL, DS_DG, DS_DL), ranges from 0 to 1 and can be interpreted as the probability of the variant being splice-altering. The author-suggested cutoffs are: * 0.2 (high recall) * 0.5 (recommended) * 0.8 (high precision) This plugin is available for both GRCh37 and GRCh38. More information can be found at: https://pypi.org/project/spliceai/ Please cite the SpliceAI publication alongside VEP if you use this resource: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30661751 Running options: (1) By default, this plugin appends all scores from SpliceAI files. (2) Besides the pre-calculated scores, it can also be specified a score cutoff between 0 and 1. Output: The output includes the gene symbol, delta scores (DS) and delta positions (DP) for acceptor gain (AG), acceptor loss (AL), donor gain (DG), and donor loss (DL). - For tab the output contains one header 'SpliceAI_pred' with all the delta scores and positions. The format is: 'SYMBOL|DS_AG|DS_AL|DS_DG|DS_DL|DP_AG|DP_AL|DP_DG|DP_DL' - For JSON the output is a hash with the following format: "spliceai": {"DP_DL":0,"DS_AL":0,"DP_AG":0,"DS_DL":0,"SYMBOL":"X","DS_AG":0,"DP_AL":0,"DP_DG":0,"DS_DG":0} - For VCF output the delta scores and positions are stored in different headers. The values are 'SpliceAI_pred_xx' being 'xx' the score/position. Example: 'SpliceAI_pred_DS_AG' is the delta score for acceptor gain. Gene matching: SpliceAI can contain scores for multiple genes that overlap a variant, and VEP can also predict consequences on multiple genes for a given variant. The plugin only returns SpliceAI scores for the gene symbols that match (if any). If plugin is run with option 2, the output also contains a flag: 'PASS' if delta score passes the cutoff, 'FAIL' otherwise. The following steps are necessary before running this plugin: The files with the annotations for all possible substitutions (snv), 1 base insertions and 1-4 base deletions (indel) within genes are available here: https://basespace.illumina.com/s/otSPW8hnhaZR GRCh37: tabix -p vcf spliceai_scores.raw.snv.hg37.vcf.gz tabix -p vcf spliceai_scores.raw.indel.hg37.vcf.gz GRCh38: tabix -p vcf spliceai_scores.raw.snv.hg38.vcf.gz tabix -p vcf spliceai_scores.raw.indel.hg38.vcf.gz The plugin can then be run: ./vep -i variations.vcf --plugin SpliceAI,snv=/path/to/spliceai_scores.raw.snv.hg38.vcf.gz,indel=/path/to/spliceai_scores.raw.indel.hg38.vcf.gz ./vep -i variations.vcf --plugin SpliceAI,snv=/path/to/spliceai_scores.raw.snv.hg38.vcf.gz,indel=/path/to/spliceai_scores.raw.indel.hg38.vcf.gz,cutoff=0.5 =cut package SpliceAI; use strict; use warnings; use List::Util qw(max); use Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::Sequence qw(get_matched_variant_alleles); use Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::BaseVepTabixPlugin; use Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::VariationFeature; use base qw(Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::BaseVepTabixPlugin); my $output_vcf; sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_); $self->expand_left(0); $self->expand_right(0); my $param_hash = $self->params_to_hash(); $self->add_file($param_hash->{snv}); $self->add_file($param_hash->{indel}); if(defined($param_hash->{cutoff})) { my $cutoff = $param_hash->{cutoff}; if($cutoff < 0 || $cutoff > 1) { die("ERROR: Cutoff score must be between 0 and 1!\n"); } $self->{cutoff} = $cutoff; } if($self->{config}->{output_format} eq "vcf") { $output_vcf = 1; } return $self; } sub feature_types { return ['Transcript']; } sub get_header_info { my $self = shift; my %header; if($output_vcf) { $header{'SpliceAI_pred_SYMBOL'} = 'SpliceAI gene symbol'; $header{'SpliceAI_pred_DS_AG'} = 'SpliceAI predicted effect on splicing.
