ASDmodel

Identifying associations of de novo noncoding variants with autism through integration of gene expression, sequence and sex information

Requirements

numpy==1.24.3
pandas==2.0.3
scikit_learn==1.3.0
scipy==1.12.0

Basic usage

usage: model.py [-h] [-v [VARIANTS]] [-g [GENES]] [-o [OUTPUT]]
                [-n [NEIGHBORS]] [-k [KMER]]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v [VARIANTS], --variants [VARIANTS]
                        Variants file
  -g [GENES], --genes [GENES]
                        Gene matrix file
  -o [OUTPUT], --output [OUTPUT]
                        Output file
  -n [NEIGHBORS], --neighbors [NEIGHBORS]
                        Size of each neighborhood, default 1000
  -k [KMER], --kmer [KMER]
                        Length of k-mers, default 6

The input variants file must have columns "Proband" (binary proband-sibling phenotype labels), "sequence" (DNA sequence) and "GC_100bp" (GC content of corresponding DNA sequence). Sample files can be found in the data folder. The gene matrix file must be tab-delimited, with a header and an index column. A sample gene matrix file can be found in the data folder.

Output format

The columns in the output file are:

• Gene name
• The local GC content Mann-Whitney U effect size, computed from dividing the U-statistic by the total number of comparisons
• The local GC content Mann-Whitney U p-value
• The K-mer Naive Bayes model Mann-Whitney U effect size on the testing fold
• The K-mer Naive Bayes model Mann-Whitney U p-value on the testing fold
• The local GC content Mann-Whitney U effect size on the testing fold
• The local GC content Mann-Whitney U p-value on the testing fold All p-values reported are uncorrected.
