Three additional terms may be added: # splice_donor_5th_base_variant : variant falls in the 5th base after the splice donor junction (5' end of intron) v ...EEEEEIIIIIIIIII... (E = exon, I = intron, v = variant location) # splice_donor_region_variant : variant falls in region between 3rd and 6th base after splice junction (5' end of intron) vv vvv ...EEEEEIIIIIIIIII... # splice_polypyrimidine_tract_variant : variant falls in polypyrimidine tract at 3' end of intron, between 17 and 3 bases from the end vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv ...IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE... =cut package SpliceRegion; use strict; use warnings; use Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::VariationEffect qw(overlap); use Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::Constants qw(%OVERLAP_CONSEQUENCES); use base qw(Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::BaseVepPlugin); my %TERM_RANK = ( splice_donor_5th_base_variant => 1, splice_donor_region_variant => 2, splice_polypyrimidine_tract_variant => 3, extended_intronic_splice_region_variant_5prime => 4, extended_intronic_splice_region_variant_3prime => 5, ); sub feature_types { return ['Transcript']; } sub get_header_info { return { SpliceRegion => "SpliceRegion predictions", }; } sub run { my ($self, $tva) = @_; my $vf = $tva->variation_feature; my ($vf_start, $vf_end) = ($vf->{start}, $vf->{end}); my $is_insertion = 0; if($vf_start > $vf_end) { ($vf_start, $vf_end) = ($vf_end, $vf_start); $is_insertion = 1; } my $tv = $tva->transcript_variation; my $tr = $tv->transcript; my $vf_tr_seq = $tva->feature_seq; # define some variables depending on transcript strand my ($strand_mod, $donor_coord, $acc_coord); if($tr->strand > 0) { $strand_mod = 1; $donor_coord = 'start'; $acc_coord = 'end'; } else { $strand_mod = -1; $donor_coord = 'end'; $acc_coord = 'start'; } my %results; my @terms; my $extended_flag = lc($self->params->[0] || "") eq 'extended'; for my $intron(@{$tv->_overlapped_introns($vf_start, $vf_end)}) { # define terms to check for and their regions @terms = ( { term => 'splice_donor_5th_base_variant', region => [$intron->{$donor_coord} + (4 * $strand_mod), $intron->{$donor_coord} + (4 * $strand_mod)] }, { term => 'splice_donor_region_variant', region => [$intron->{$donor_coord} + (2 * $strand_mod), $intron->{$donor_coord} + (5 * $strand_mod)] }, { term => 'splice_polypyrimidine_tract_variant', region => [$intron->{$acc_coord} + (-16 * $strand_mod), $intron->{$acc_coord} + (-2 * $strand_mod)], # allele_specific_mod => { # A => '_to_purine', # G => '_to_purine', # } }, ) unless $extended_flag; @terms = ( { term => 'extended_intronic_splice_region_variant_5prime', region => [$intron->{$donor_coord}, $intron->{$donor_coord} + (9 * $strand_mod)] }, { term => 'extended_intronic_splice_region_variant_3prime', region => [$intron->{$acc_coord} + (-9 * $strand_mod), $intron->{$acc_coord} ], # allele_specific_mod => { # A => '_to_purine', # G => '_to_purine', # } }, ) if $extended_flag; foreach my $term_hash(@terms) { my $pass = overlap($vf_start, $vf_end, sort {$a <=> $b} @{$term_hash->{region}}); if($pass) { my $term = $term_hash->{term}; $term = 'extended_intronic_splice_region_variant' if $extended_flag; # if(my $allele_specific_mods = $term_hash->{allele_specific_mod}) { # $term .= $allele_specific_mods->{$vf_tr_seq} || ''; # } $results{$term}++; last; } } } return {} unless %results; return { SpliceRegion => [sort {$TERM_RANK{$a} <=> $TERM_RANK{$b}} keys %results]}; } 1;
