Find splicing-led, functional changes of the proteome.
Project description
spada
spada (Splicing-led Protein Alterations Discovered Agilely) is a tool to study the functional impact of alternative splicing changes between two conditions. The alterations have to be represented as isoform switches i.e. when one condition is best represented by one isoform, and the second condition by another one. Then, spada is able to predict which protein features are changing between both isoforms, and their impact on the protein-protein interaction network.
To start using spada, simply install it with
pip install spada
spada has three main functions:
# import data into spada's data-structures
spada init --help
# calculate isoform switches from case-control transcriptomics data
spada switches --help
# predict effects of splicing on the protein structure and the interactome
spada function --help
