hpo3 0.2.4

A drop-in replacement for PyHPO using a Rust backend for faster performance

HPO3

HPO3 is a Rust based drop-in replacement of PyHPO. It is based on the hpo Rust library which is a performance optimzied implementation of PyHPO.

Using the Rust-based hpo library increases performance easily 100 fold for many operations. It enables developers to utilize multithreading, further improving performance greatly.

HPO3 aims to use the exact same API and methods as PyHPO to allow a very simple replacement for all analysis and statistics methods. However, it does not allow customization and modification of the ontology or individual terms, genes etc.

Current status

Most functionality of PyHPO is present and working, giving correct results. Similarity calculations and hypergeometric enrichment scores are implemented and working both for single terms and for HPOSets.

There are some helper functions for parallel batchwise processing, which are amazing if you plan on analyzing large datasets.

If you need performance and speed for rapid experiments, give HPO3 a try.

Installation

HPO3 is provided as binary wheels for most platforms on PyPI, so in most cases you can just run

pip install hpo3

(For macOS, only Python 3.10 and 3.11 are supported, for both x64 and arm at the moment.)

hpo3 ships with a prebuilt HPO Ontology by default, so you can start right away.

Examples

There are also more examples in the PyHPO documentation:

from pyhpo import Ontology, HPOSet

# initilize the Ontology
Ontology()

for term in Ontology:
    print(f"{term.id} | {term.name}")

# Declare the clinical information of the patients
patient_1 = HPOSet.from_queries([
    'HP:0002943',
    'HP:0008458',
    'HP:0100884',
    'HP:0002944',
    'HP:0002751'
])

patient_2 = HPOSet.from_queries([
    'HP:0002650',
    'HP:0010674',
    'HP:0000925',
    'HP:0009121'
])

# and compare their similarity
patient_1.similarity(patient_2)
#> 0.7594183905785477

# Retrieve a term e.g. via its HPO-ID
term = Ontology.get_hpo_object('Scoliosis')

print(term)
#> HP:0002650 | Scoliosis

# Get information content from Term <--> Omim associations
term.information_content['omim']
#> 2.29

# Show how many genes are associated to the term
# (Note that this includes indirect associations, associations
# from children terms to genes.)
len(term.genes)

# Show how many Omim Diseases are associated to the term
# (Note that this includes indirect associations, associations
# from children terms to diseases.)

Documentation

I'm in the process adding proper documentation, but the process is not yet that far. You can check in python by using help(Ontology) or help(methodname) to get some documentation. Otherwise, use the PyHPO documentation for now.

Parallel processing

hpo3 is using Rust as backend, so it's able to fully utilize parallel processing. To benefit from this even greater, hpo3 provides some special helper functions for parallel batch processing in the helper submodule

Similarity scores of HPOSets

Pairwise similarity comparison of HPOSets. Specify a list of comparisons to run and hpo3 calculates the result using all available CPUs.

Assume you want to compare the clinical information of a patient to the clinical information of 1000s of other patients:

from pyhpo.helper import set_batch_similarity
from pyhpo import Ontology, HPOSet

Ontology()

main_patient = HPOSet.from_queries([
    'HP:0002943',
    'HP:0008458',
    'HP:0100884',
    'HP:0002944',
    'HP:0002751'
])
