You can specify the method link type and species sets as command line options, the default is to fetch GERP scores from the EPO 35 way mammalian alignment (please refer to the Compara documentation for more details of available analyses). If a variant affects multiple nucleotides the average score for the position will be returned, and for insertions the average score of the 2 flanking bases will be returned. If the MAX parameter is used, the maximum score of any of the affected bases will be reported instead. The plugin uses the ensembl-compara API module (optional, see http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/api/index.html) or obtains data directly from BigWig files (optional, see https://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/current_compara/conservation_scores/) =cut package Conservation; use strict; use warnings; use Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry; use Bio::EnsEMBL::Slice; use Bio::EnsEMBL::IO::Parser::BigWig; use Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::BaseVepPlugin; use Net::FTP; use base qw(Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::BaseVepPlugin); sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_); if(scalar(@{$self->params}) == 0){ warn('No input parameters found for Conservation plugin'); return $self; } # Check for MAX, otherwise default to AVERAGE for(@{$self->params}) { if ($_ eq 'MAX') { $self->{method} = 'MAX'; } else { $self->{method} = 'AVERAGE'; } } $self->{use_database} = $self->params->[0] eq 'database'; if($self->{use_database}){ shift(@{$self->params}); my $params = $self->params; # REST API passes 1 as first param shift @$params if $params->[0] && $params->[0] eq '1'; $self->{method_link_type} = $params->[0] || 'GERP_CONSERVATION_SCORE'; $self->{species_set} = $params->[1] || 'mammals'; my $config = $self->{config}; my $reg = 'Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry'; # reconnect to DB without species param if($config->{host}) { $reg->load_registry_from_db( -host => $config->{host}, -user => $config->{user}, -pass => $config->{password}, -port => $config->{port}, -db_version => $config->{db_version}, -no_cache => $config->{no_slice_cache}, ); } my $mlss_adap = $config->{mlssa} ||= $reg->get_adaptor('Multi', 'compara', 'MethodLinkSpeciesSet') or die "Failed to connect to compara database\n"; $self->{mlss} = $mlss_adap->fetch_by_method_link_type_species_set_name($self->{method_link_type}, $self->{species_set}) or die "Failed to fetch MLSS for ".$self->{method_link_type}." and ".$self->{species_set}."\n"; $self->{cs_adap} = $config->{cosa} ||= $reg->get_adaptor('Multi', 'compara', 'ConservationScore') or die "Failed to fetch conservation adaptor\n"; } return $self; } sub version { return '3.0'; } sub feature_types { return ['Feature','Intergenic']; } sub get_header_info { my $self = shift; my $method_str = $self->{method} eq 'MAX' ?
