It evaluates a tract of sequence either side of and including the variant, both in reference and alternate states. The amount of sequence included either side defaults to 100bp, but can be modified by passing e.g. "context=50" as a parameter to the plugin. Any predicted splicing regions that overlap the variant are reported in the output with one of four states: no_change, diff, gain, loss There follows a "/"-separated string consisting of the following data: 1) type (donor, acceptor) 2) coordinates (start-end) 3) confidence (Low, Medium, High) 4) score Example: loss/acceptor/727006-727007/High/16.231924 If multiple sites are predicted, their reports are separated by ",". For diff, the confidence and score for both the reference and alternate sequences is reported as REF-ALT. Example: diff/donor/621915-621914/Medium-Medium/7.020731-6.988368 Several parameters can be modified by passing them to the plugin string: context : change the amount of sequence added either side of the variant (default: 100bp) tmpdir : change the temporary directory used (default: /tmp) cache_size : change how many sequences' scores are cached in memory (default: 50) Example: --plugin GeneSplicer,$GS/bin/linux/genesplicer,$GS/human,context=200,tmpdir=/mytmp On some systems the binaries provided will not execute, but can be compiled from source: cd $GS/sources make cd - ./vep [options] --plugin GeneSplicer,$GS/sources/genesplicer,$GS/human On Mac OSX the make step is known to fail; the genesplicer.cpp file requires modification: cd $GS/sources perl -pi -e "s/^main /int main /" genesplicer.cpp make =cut package GeneSplicer; use strict; use warnings; use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_hex); use Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::Sequence qw(reverse_comp); use Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::VariationEffect qw(overlap); use Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::BaseVepPlugin; use base qw(Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::BaseVepPlugin); our %DEFAULTS = ( context => 100, tmpdir => '/tmp', cache_size => 50, ); sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_); # we need sequence, so no offline mode unless we have FASTA die("ERROR: cannot function in offline mode without a FASTA file\n") if $self->{config}->{offline} && !$self->{config}->{fasta}; my $params = $self->params; my $bin = shift @$params; die("ERROR: genesplicer binary not specified\n") unless $bin; die("ERROR: genesplicer binary not found\n") unless -e $bin; my $test = `$bin 2>&1`; die("ERROR: failed to run genesplicer binary:\n$test\n") unless $test =~ /^USAGE/; $self->{_bin} = $bin; my $training_dir = shift @$params; die("ERROR: training directory not specified\n") unless $training_dir; die("ERROR: training directory not found\n") unless -d $training_dir; $self->{_training_dir} = $training_dir; # defaults $self->{'_param_'.$_} = $DEFAULTS{$_} for keys %DEFAULTS; # REST API passes 1 as first param shift @$params if $params->[0] && $params->[0] eq '1'; # set/override with user params foreach my $param(@$params) { my ($key, $val) = split('=', $param); die("ERROR: Failed to parse parameter $param\n") unless defined($key) && defined($val); $self->{'_param_'.$key} = $val; } return $self; } sub feature_types { return ['Transcript']; } sub get_header_info { return { GeneSplicer => "GeneSplicer predictions" }; } sub run { my ($self, $tva) = @_; my $vf = $tva->variation_feature; # get up and downstream sequences my $up_seq = $vf->{slice}->sub_Slice( $vf->{start} - $self->{'_param_context'}, $vf->{start} - 1, $vf->strand )->seq; my $down_seq = $vf->{slice}->sub_Slice( $vf->{end} + 1, $vf->{end} + $self->{'_param_context'}, $vf->strand )->seq; # create ref seq by grabbing reference TVA my $ref_seq = join("", $up_seq, $tva->transcript_variation->get_reference_TranscriptVariationAllele->variation_feature_seq, $down_seq ); return {} unless $ref_seq =~ /^[ACGT]+$/; # create alt seq my $alt_allele = $tva->variation_feature_seq; $alt_allele =~ s/\-//g; my $alt_seq = $up_seq.$alt_allele.$down_seq; return {} unless $alt_seq =~ /^[ACGT]+$/; # reverse comp if strands differ if($tva->transcript->strand != $vf->strand) { reverse_comp(\$ref_seq); reverse_comp(\$alt_seq); } # get results my $ref_results = $self->results_from_cache($ref_seq) || $self->results_from_seq($ref_seq); my $alt_results = $self->results_from_cache($alt_seq) || $self->results_from_seq($alt_seq); # compare results both ways my $diff_ref_to_alt = $self->compare_results($ref_results, $alt_results); my $diff_alt_to_ref = $self->compare_results($alt_results, $ref_results); # get VF pos relative to tested sequence my ($vf_start, $vf_end) = ($self->{'_param_context'} + 1, $self->{'_param_context'} + (($vf->{end} - $vf->{start}) + 1)); # get overlapping losses and gains # and map to chromosome coords my @losses = map {$_->{gl} = 'loss'; $_} @{$diff_ref_to_alt->{lost}}; my @gains = map {$_->{gl} = 'gain'; $_} @{$diff_alt_to_ref->{lost}}; my @diffs = map {$_->{gl} = 'diff'; $_} @{$diff_ref_to_alt->{diff}}; my $return = join(',', map { join('/', $_->[0]->{gl}, $_->[0]->{type}, $_->[1]->{end5}.'-'.$_->[1]->{end3}, $_->[0]->{confidence}, $_->[0]->{score} ) } map {[$_, $self->map_ss_coords($_, $vf)]} grep {overlap($vf_start, $vf_end, $_->{end5}, $_->{end3})} (@losses, @gains, @diffs) ); # probably of interest to report splice sites were found # but no difference between ref and alt if(!$return && grep {overlap($vf_start, $vf_end, $_->{end5}, $_->{end3})} @$ref_results) { $return = join(',', map { join('/', 'no_change', $_->[0]->{type}, $_->[1]->{end5}.'-'.$_->[1]->{end3}, $_->[0]->{confidence}, $_->[0]->{score} ) } map {[$_, $self->map_ss_coords($_, $vf)]} grep {overlap($vf_start, $vf_end, $_->{end5}, $_->{end3})} @$ref_results ); } return $return ?
