SPiP is a randomForest model running a cascade of bioinformatics tools. Briefly, SPiP uses SPiCE tool for the consensus splice sites (donor and acceptor sites), MES for polypyrimidine tract between -13 and -20, BPP for branch point area between -18 and -44, an homemade score to research cryptic/de novo activation and ΔtESRseq for exonic splicing regulatory element until to 120 nt in exon
SPiP is available for Windows OS at https://sourceforge.net/projects/splicing-prediction-pipeline/
Table
- SPiPv2.1_main.r: the SPiP script
- testCrypt.txt: an example of input data in text format
- testVar.vcf: an example of input data in vcf format
- RefFiles: folder where are the reference files used by SPiP
To get SPiP from this repository, you can enter in the linux consoles:
git clone https://github.com/raphaelleman/SPiP
cd ./SPiPSPiP needs also to install 2 libraries, from the R console:
install.packages("foreach")
install.packages("doParallel")
install.packages("randomForest")you have to download frome sourcforge the RData files containing the transcripts sequences. hg19 assembly : transcriptome_hg19.RData hg38 assembly : transcriptome_hg38.RData
Put these files in /path/to/SPiP/RefFiles/ or you can define it manually by the option --transcriptome.
NB: commands to regenerate these files are available in getGenomeSequenceFromBSgenome.r
you can get the different argument of SPiP by Rscript /path/to/SPiPv2.1_main.r --help
An example of SPiP run with test file testCrypt.txt:
cd /path/to/SPiP/
Rscript ./SPiPv2.1_main.r -I ./testCrypt.txt -O ./outputTest.txtIn this example SPiP will generate a text file "outputTest.txt" where the predictions will be save. The scheme of this output is:

-I, --input /path/to/inputFile
- list of variants file (.txt or .vcf). SPiP supports VCF version 4.1 or later (see example testVar.vcf). The txt file must be tab-delimated and the column with mutation, in format Transcript:mutation, is indicated by 'varID' column name (see example testCrypt.txt).
-O, --output /path/to/outputFile
- Name of ouput file (.txt). Directory to the output file (in text format)
-g, --GenomeAssenbly hg19
- Genome assembly version (hg19 or hg38) [default= hg19]
-t, --threads N
- Number of threads used for the calculation [default= 1]
-l, --maxLines N
- Number of lines read in each time [default= 1000]
--verbose
- Show run process, i.e. displays progression bar tool
--geneList /path/to/geneList.txt
- You can process analysis exclusively on a gene list, available only if VCF input
--transcriptList /path/to/transcriptList.txt
