reactIDR 2.0.0

Implementation of the IDR (Irreproducible Discovery Rate) method for RNA reactivity data.

reactIDR: evaluation of the statistical reproducibility of high-throughput structural analyses towards a robust RNA structure prediction

• Published in BMC Bioinformatics

reactIDR is a Python package that evaluates statistical reproducibility across replicated high-throughput RNA structure profiling data (e.g., PARS, SHAPE-Seq, icSHAPE, DMS-Seq) to robustly infer loop and stem probabilities.

---

📥 Input

• Read count data (tabular format)
  • PARS
  • SHAPE-Seq
  • icSHAPE
  • DMS-Seq (assumed to enrich A/C only)

📤 Output

• Posterior probability for each site:
  • Loop (signal enriched in "case")
  • Stem (signal enriched in "control")

🧠 Algorithm

• IDR (Irreproducible Discovery Rate)
• Hidden Markov Model

🔧 Requirements

python >= 3.9
numpy >= 2.0.2
scipy >= 1.13.1
pandas >= 2.2.3

Optional packages for visualization:

seaborn
jupyter notebook

🚀 Installation

pip install reactIDR

▶️ Getting Started

Test datasets are provided in the example and csv_example directories. To run a demo using CSV input:

git clone https://github.com/carushi/reactIDR
cd reactIDR/csv_example
python -c "import reactIDR; reactIDR.run_reactIDR([
  '-e', '0',
  '--csv',
  '--global',
  '--case', './csv_example/case.csv',
  '--output', 'test.csv',
  '--param', './csv_example/default_parameters.txt'
])"

📚 More usage examples and options are available in the Wiki.

🛠️ Scripts

Script	Description
read_collapse.py	Collapse PCR duplicates and trim barcodes (assumes gawk)
read_truncate.py	Extract consistent paired-end reads
bed_to_pars_format.py	Convert BED coverage to PARS-style format based on annotations
	format: NAME 0;1;2;3;.....
tab_to_csv.py	Append raw count data to output CSV
