asmscan-bilstm 1.0.0

Bidirectional LSTM model for detection of amyloid signaling motifs.

ASMscan-BiLSTM

Bidirectional LSTM model for detection of amyloid signaling motifs (ASMs).

Installation

pip install asmscan-bilstm

Usage

from asmscan.bilstm import BiLSTM

aa_seqs = [
    "MEGRASGSARIYQAGGDQYIEESDGYRADG",
    "VSLRAGAHDGGRIYQAVGDQYIYEDGGRAGASLREDGYQRIYAGASIYEA",
    "HASGHGRVFQSAGDQHITEHAGHDG"
]

model = BiLSTM()
pred, frags = model.predict(aa_seqs)

The predict() method of the BiLSTM model position-wise averages the predictions of the 6 cross-validation models, and then applies max-pooling over the sequence length. Sequences are processed using a window of size 40 and a step of 1.
