README

Here is the pipeline used to generate this set of variants causing exon skipping:

# BEFORE CURATION

1. run query_hgmd_splice_MySQL.py to produce hgmd_splice_variants.tsv

2. pull out hgmd_splice_pmids (trivial, can use cut or some other command line utility)

3. run scrape_pubmed_abstracts.py which takes hgmd_splice_pmids.txt as input, produces exon_skipping_pmids.txt

4. run map_pmids_to_variants.py which takes exon_skipping_pmids.txt and hgmd_splice_variants.tsv as input, and produces exon_skipping.prelim.vcf

5. annotate preliminary VCF file with VEP (this is just to collect useful info for the manual curation step) 

6. run tableize_vep_vcf.py on annotated to get data into spreadsheet format (exon_skipping.prelim.tsv)

7. finally, run create_spreadsheet.R to get exon_skipping_spreadsheet.tsv. This will serve as the medium for manual curation.

Note: merge_spreadsheets.R merges manual annotations from a partially curated spreadsheet with a newly generated spreadsheet 

# AFTER CURATION

python convert_tsv_to_vcf.py -i curated_spreadsheet.tsv --info status,donorDist,acceptorDist,type | grep -v "status=discard" | grep -v "type=as" > donor_skip.vcf
python convert_tsv_to_vcf.py -i curated_spreadsheet.tsv --info status,donorDist,acceptorDist,type | grep -v "status=discard" | grep -v "type=ds" > acceptor_skip.vcf
