Getting started

Prerequisite

• cython
• numpy
• Biopython
• editdistance
• pytorch 1.7.1
• pytorch_geometric 1.7.0

Install

pip install GCNFrame

Examples

The framework makes it easy to train your customized models with a few lines of codes. The example data can be downloaded from Google Drive.

# This is an example to train a two-classes model.
from GCNFrame import Biodata, GCNmodel
import torch
device = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu')

data = Biodata(fasta_file="example_data/nature_2017.fasta", 
        label_file="example_data/lifestyle_label.txt",
        feature_file="example_data/CDD_protein_feature.txt")
dataset = data.encode(thread=20)
model = GCNmodel.model(label_num=2, other_feature_dim=206).to(device)
GCNmodel.train(dataset, model, weighted_sampling=True)
GCNmodel.test(model_name="GCN_model.pt", fasta_file="example_data/nature_2017.fasta", feature_file="example_data/CDD_protein_feature.txt")

The output is shown bellow:

The model with best validation accuracy will be saved as GCN_model.pt

Also, the package provides users with functions to mine gapped patterns or motifs of more significant influence in prediction tasks.

# the pattern_contribution_score function returns a score list to record the contribution scores for the 4,096 gapped patterns. 
score_list = pattern_contribution_score(fasta_file="example_data/nature_2017.fasta",
        label_file="example_data/lifestyle_label.txt",
        feature_file="example_data/CDD_protein_feature.txt")

The scores for the gapped-patterns will also be saved in a txt file.

# the pattern_group_contribution_score function groups similar gapped patterns and analyzes the occurrence & scores for each group.
pattern_group_contribution_score(fasta_file="example_data/nature_2017.fasta", label_file="example_data/lifestyle_label.txt", score_list=score_list)

The results are saved as figures.

# the motif_contribution_score calculate the contribution score for a given motif.
score = motif_contribution_score(fasta_file="example_data/nature_2017.fasta", label_file="example_data/lifestyle_label.txt", motif="AAAAAATTCG", feature_file="example_data/CDD_protein_feature.txt")
print("The contribution score for AAAAAATTCG is %s."%score)
