The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Bio::RNA::SpliceSites::Scoring::MaxEntScan DSLIP: bdpf2 description: Pre-mRNA splice site scoring by max entropy userid: BRYKETOS (Brian Sebastian Cole) chapterid: 23 (Miscellaneous_Modules) communities: https://github.com/bryketos/Bio-RNA-SpliceSites-Scoring-MaxEntScan
similar: rationale: Modern genomics pipelines to assess pre-mRNA splicing in dynamic contexts such as alternative splicing need modular splice site strength quantification tools. In 2004, Gene Yeo and Chris Burge at MIT released a Perl tarball for scoring of pre-mRNA splice sites by a maximum entropy-based approach, which they called maxEntScan. Fast forward 10 years and integrated Perl pipelines are commonplace in genomic data analysis, yet the only existing way to integrate the maxEntScan programs into a pipeline is through system calls, with no documentation or testing provided in the original maxEntScan programs. To address this, I refactored the algorithm of Yeo and Burge into a Perl module that can export splice site scoring functions into other namespaces. Additionally, I add version control, testing, documentation, and an adaptable package-based splice model for the creation of novel maximum entropy-based splice models as detailed in the original maxEntScan program from 2004. Of note: I contacted the original author Dr. Gene Yeo, currently a professor at UCSD, and he consented to the development of this current distribution and its upload to PAUSE. My thesis advisor also consented.
