inDelphi-model

Dependencies

python 2.7+ or 3.4+
pandas 0.23.4
scikit-learn 0.18.1 or 0.20.0
scipy 1.1.0
numpy 1.15.3

The online interactive web app version of inDelphi uses the scikit-learn v0.18.1 models.

Installation

Clone this github repository, then set up your environment to import the inDelphi.py script in however is most convenient for you. In python, for instance, you may use the following at the top of your script to import inDelphi.

import sys
sys.path.append('/directory/to/local/indelphi/repo/clone/')
import inDelphi

Usage

In python2.7+ or python3.4+:

import inDelphi
inDelphi.init_model(celltype = 'mESC')

Note: Supported cell types are ['mESC', 'U2OS', 'HEK293', 'HCT116', 'K562']. If your cell type of interest is not included here, we recommend using mESC if your cell type does not have known DNA repair defects and is not a cancer cell type. See www.crisprindelphi.design/guide for more details.

pred_df, stats = inDelphi.predict(seq, cutsite)

seq is a string of DNA characters. cutsite is an int that specifies the 0-index position of the cutsite, such that seq[:cutsite] and seq[cutsite:] in Python notation describe the cut products.

pred_df is a pandas dataframe containing a row for each prediction. By default, a single prediction corresponds to a single genotype for 1-bp insertions and microhomology deletions. For microhomology-less deletions, a single prediction corresponds to a single predicted frequency for the sum total frequency of a group of microhomology-less deletions. Microhomology-less deletions are grouped by deletion length.

1-bp insertion genotypes are uniquely identified by row['Category'] == 'ins' and row['Inserted Bases'].isin([A, C, G, T]).
Microhomology deletions are uniquely identified by row['Category'] == 'del', 1 <= row['Length'] <= 60, and 0 <= row['Genotype position'] <= row['Length'].
Microhomology-less deletions are uniquely identified by row['Category'] == 'del', 1 <= row['Length'] <= 60, and row['Genotype position'] == 'e'.
The column 'Predicted frequency' sums to 100.0.

stats is a dict with the following keys. For further details, refer to www.crisprindelphi.design/guide#batch4.

Example usage

import inDelphi
inDelphi.init_model(celltype = 'mESC')

left_seq = 'AGAATCGCCCGCGGTCCATCCTTTATCAGCGGGAATTCAAGCGCACCAGCCAGAGGTGTA'
right_seq = 'CCGTGGACGTGAGAAAGAAGAAACATAATATTCGCACTAGATCCATCCCCATACCTGACC'
seq = left_seq + right_seq
cutsite = len(left_seq)

pred_df, stats = inDelphi.predict(seq, cutsite)

Additional methods

Once you have obtained pred_df, stats, additional methods are available for your convenience.

Obtaining exact genotypes

pred_df, stats = inDelphi.predict(seq, cutsite)
pred_df = inDelphi.add_genotype_column(pred_df, stats)

A new column Genotype will be created.

If MH-less genotypes are represented with pred_df['Genotype position'] == 'e', MH-less genotypes will not have a value for Genotype since these rows represent the total predicted frequency for a group of MH-less genotypes.

Expanding microhomology-less deletion predictions into genotype resolution

Warning: Microhomology-less deletions are less consistent between experimental replicates than 1-bp insertions and microhomology deletions. inDelphi as presented in our manuscript was tested for performance only on grouped predictions for MH-less genotypes.

pred_df, stats = inDelphi.predict(seq, cutsite)
pred_df = inDelphi.add_mhless_genotypes(pred_df, stats)
# pred_df = inDelphi.add_genotype_column(pred_df, stats)

Microhomology-less deletions will be converted into a different representation:

Microhomology-less deletions will be uniquely identified by row['Category'] == 'del', 1 <= row['Length'] <= 60, and 0 <= row['Genotype position'] <= row['Length'].
Microhomology-less deletions will no longer contain the value 'e' in 'Genotype position'
The number of rows in pred_df will increase

For details on how predicted frequencies are converted, refer to https://www.crisprindelphi.design/guide#single4.
