Benchmarking deep learning splice prediction tools using functional splice assays.

Human mutation
Hereditary disorders are frequently caused by genetic variants that affect pre-messenger RNA splicing. Though genetic variants in the canonical splice motifs are almost always disrupting splicing, the pathogenicity of variants in the noncanonical spl...

2passtools: two-pass alignment using machine-learning-filtered splice junctions increases the accuracy of intron detection in long-read RNA sequencing.

Genome biology
Transcription of eukaryotic genomes involves complex alternative processing of RNAs. Sequencing of full-length RNAs using long reads reveals the true complexity of processing. However, the relatively high error rates of long-read sequencing technolog...

CADD-Splice-improving genome-wide variant effect prediction using deep learning-derived splice scores.

Genome medicine
BACKGROUND: Splicing of genomic exons into mRNAs is a critical prerequisite for the accurate synthesis of human proteins. Genetic variants impacting splicing underlie a substantial proportion of genetic disease, but are challenging to identify beyond...

Epigenome-based splicing prediction using a recurrent neural network.

PLoS computational biology
Alternative RNA splicing provides an important means to expand metazoan transcriptome diversity. Contrary to what was accepted previously, splicing is now thought to predominantly take place during transcription. Motivated by emerging data showing th...

Enhanced Integrated Gradients: improving interpretability of deep learning models using splicing codes as a case study.

Genome biology
Despite the success and fast adaptation of deep learning models in biomedical domains, their lack of interpretability remains an issue. Here, we introduce Enhanced Integrated Gradients (EIG), a method to identify significant features associated with ...

SpliceFinder: ab initio prediction of splice sites using convolutional neural network.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Identifying splice sites is a necessary step to analyze the location and structure of genes. Two dinucleotides, GT and AG, are highly frequent on splice sites, and many other patterns are also on splice sites with important biological fun...

Machine Learning Approaches for the Prioritization of Genomic Variants Impacting Pre-mRNA Splicing.

Cells
Defects in pre-mRNA splicing are frequently a cause of Mendelian disease. Despite the advent of next-generation sequencing, allowing a deeper insight into a patient's variant landscape, the ability to characterize variants causing splicing defects ha...

Deep-learning augmented RNA-seq analysis of transcript splicing.

Nature methods
A major limitation of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of alternative splicing is its reliance on high sequencing coverage. We report DARTS (https://github.com/Xinglab/DARTS), a computational framework that integrates deep-learning-based predictions...

RNA sequencing and swarm intelligence-enhanced classification algorithm development for blood-based disease diagnostics using spliced blood platelet RNA.

Nature protocols
Blood-based diagnostics tests, using individual or panels of biomarkers, may revolutionize disease diagnostics and enable minimally invasive therapy monitoring. However, selection of the most relevant biomarkers from liquid biosources remains an imme...

Discerning novel splice junctions derived from RNA-seq alignment: a deep learning approach.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Exon splicing is a regulated cellular process in the transcription of protein-coding genes. Technological advancements and cost reductions in RNA sequencing have made quantitative and qualitative assessments of the transcriptome both poss...
