Please cite the dbNSFP publications alongside the VEP if you use this resource: - dbNSFP https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21520341 - dbNSFP v2.0 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23843252 - dbNSFP v3.0 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26555599 - dbNSFP v4 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/33261662 You must have the 'Bio::DB::HTS' module or the tabix utility must be installed in your path to use this plugin. About dbNSFP data files: - Downoad dbNSFP files from https://sites.google.com/site/jpopgen/dbNSFP. - There are two distinct branches of the files provided for academic and commercial usage. Please use the appropriate files for your use case. - The file must be processed depending on dbNSFP release version and assembly (see commands below). We recommend using '-T' option with the sort command to specify a temporary directory with sufficient space. - The resulting file must be indexed with tabix before use by this plugin (see commands below).

This plugin is fully compatible with such a setup - simply use the URL of the remote file: --plugin dbNSFP,http://my.files.com/dbNSFP.gz,col1,col2 The plugin replaces occurrences of ';' with ',' and '|' with '&'. However, some data field columns, e.g. 'Interpro_domain', use the replacement characters. We added a file with replacement logic for customising the required replacement of ';' and '|' in dbNSFP data columns. In addition to the default replacements (';' to ',' and '|' to '&') users can add customised replacements. Users can either modify the file 'dbNSFP_replacement_logic' in the VEP_plugins directory or provide their own file as second argument when calling the plugin: --plugin dbNSFP,/path/to/dbNSFP.gz,/path/to/dbNSFP_replacement_logic,LRT_score,GERP++_RS Note that transcript sequences referred to in dbNSFP may be out of sync with those in the latest release of Ensembl; this may lead to discrepancies with scores retrieved from other sources. If the dbNSFP README file is found in the same directory as the data file, column descriptions will be read from this and incorporated into the VEP output file header. The plugin matches rows in the tabix-indexed dbNSFP file on: - genomic position - alt allele - 'aaref' - reference amino acid - 'aaalt' - alternative amino acid To match only on the genomic position and the alt allele use 'pep_match=0': --plugin dbNSFP,/path/to/dbNSFP.gz,pep_match=0,col1,col2 Some fields contain multiple values, one per Ensembl transcript ID. By default all values are returned, separated by ';' in the default VEP output format. To return values only for the matched Ensembl transcript ID use 'transcript_match=1'. This behaviour only affects transcript-specific fields; non-transcript-specific fields are unaffected. --plugin dbNSFP,/path/to/dbNSFP.gz,transcript_match=1,col1,col2 NB 1: Using this flag may cause no value to return if the version of the Ensembl transcript set differs between VEP and dbNSFP. NB 2: MutationTaster entries are keyed on a different set of transcript IDs. Using the 'transcript_match' flag with any MutationTaster field selected will have no effect i.e. all entries are returned. Information on corresponding transcript(s) for MutationTaster fields can be found using http://www.mutationtaster.org/ChrPos.html =cut package dbNSFP; use strict; use warnings; use File::Basename qw(basename); use Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::Sequence qw(reverse_comp); use Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::BaseVepTabixPlugin; use base qw(Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Utils::BaseVepTabixPlugin); my %INCLUDE_SO = map {$_ => 1} qw(missense_variant stop_lost stop_gained start_lost); my %ALLOWED_PARAMS = map {$_ => 1} qw(consequence pep_match transcript_match); # this region chosen as it should pull out a row in all assemblies my $EXAMPLE_REGION = "1:1008170-1082927"; # these fields are ";"-separated but NOT transcript-specific OR do not correspond to Ensembl_transcriptid # MutationTaster: Information on corresponding transcript(s) can be found by querying http://www.mutationtaster.org/ChrPos.html my %NON_TRANSCRIPT_SPECIFIC_FIELDS = map {$_ => 1} qw( MutationTaster_score MutationTaster_converted_rankscore MutationTaster_pred MutationTaster_model Interpro_domain MutPred_Top5features Transcript_id_VEST3 Transcript_var_VEST3 VEST3_score ); sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_); $self->expand_left(0); $self->expand_right(0); # get dbNSFP file my @params = grep !/=/, @{$self->params}; my $file = shift @params; my $basename = basename($file, ".gz"); my $version; if ($file =~ /2\.9/) { $version = '2.9'; } elsif ($file =~ /4\.0b1/) { # special case: different name for location column $version = '4.0.1'; } elsif ($file =~ /4\./) { $version = '4'; } elsif ($file =~ /3\./) { $version = 3; } else { die "ERROR: Could not retrieve dbNSFP version from filename $file\n"; } $self->{dbNSFP_version} = $version; $self->{basename} = $basename; $self->add_file($file); $self->get_dbNSFP_file_header($file, $EXAMPLE_REGION); # check if 2nd argument is a file that specifies replacement logic # read replacement logic my $replacement_file = $params[0]; if (defined $replacement_file && -e $replacement_file) { $self->add_replacement_logic($replacement_file); shift @params; } else { $self->add_replacement_logic(); } $self->get_named_params(); # get user-specified dbNSFP columns my @invalid; for my $col (@params) { if($col eq 'ALL') { $self->{cols} = {map {$_ => 1} @{$self->{headers}}}; last; } # store columns as invalid if not found in file header my $valid = (grep {$_ eq $col} @{$self->{headers}}); $self->{cols}->{$col} = $valid; push(@invalid, $col) unless $valid; } die "ERROR: no input columns were found in file header.
