Score tissue-specific splice site usage for three-segment intron boundaries. Accepts three segments (left_flank, intron_core, right_flank), concatenates them into a single 1-kb target sequence, and scores tissue-specific splice site usage.

API Reference

ConfigSpliceTransformerSpecificityConfig Source

Configuration for SpliceTransformer tissue-specific splicing constraint.This class defines configuration parameters for evaluating tissue-specific splicing patterns using SpliceTransformer, a deep learning model trained to predict splice site usage across different human tissues. The constraint can be used to either maximize splicing in a specific tissue (tissue-specific activation) or minimize it (tissue-specific repression), enabling design of sequences with controlled tissue-specific alternative splicing.

string

required

Sequence of the left context for SpliceTransformer

string

required

Sequence of the right context for SpliceTransformer

List[integer]

required

0-indexed position(s) into the concatenated target sequence on which to compute the score

enum

default:"AVERAGE"

Tissue on which to define the score. By default, averages across all tissues.Options: AVERAGE, ADIPOSE_TISSUE, BLOOD, BLOOD_VESSEL, BRAIN, COLON, HEART, KIDNEY, LIVER, LUNG, MUSCLE, NERVE, SMALL_INTESTINE, SKIN, SPLEEN, STOMACH

enum

default:"max"

Whether to maximize or minimize the value. Defaults to ‘max’Options: max, min

SpliceTransformerConfig

Advanced parameter configuration for SpliceTransformer.

ReturnsConstraintOutput

One result per input. score is in [0.0, 1.0] (interpretation depends on direction). metadata carries specificity_direction_<tissue> and specificity_score_<tissue>.

Usage

python

from proto_language.core import Constraint

    function=splice_transformer_specificity,
    function_config=SpliceTransformerSpecificityConfig(
        # Configure parameters here
    ),
)
