Genotype Error Comparator Kit

Genotype Error Comparator Kit is implemented as a python package geck, which estimates and compares the accuracies of two genotyping methods using only their joint result on a family trio.

geck requires a joint histogram of genotype trio calls as input, and it fits a statistical mixture model and estimates the posterior distributions of genotype confusion matrices and benchmarking metrics: precision, recall, F-score. The image below illustrates the data processing pipeline involved. geck performs the steps marked by (b) and (c).

See pre-print "geck: trio-based comparative benchmarking of variant calls" by P. Komar and D. Kural for detailed description.

Installation

1. git clone https://github.com/sbg/geck.git
2. cd geck
3. pip install -e .

How to use

To test the main functionality of geck, run gibbs_example.py

import sys
import numpy
sys.path.append('../../geck')
from data import GeckData
from solverGibbs import GeckSolverGibbs
from postprocess import GeckResults

tool_names = ['tool1', 'tool2']
data_file = './example_input.txt'

print 'Loading data'
data = GeckData()
data.load_file(tool_names, data_file)

print 'Initializing Gibbs sampler'

                    verbose=True)
print 'Done'

print 'Analyzing results...'
results = GeckResults(tool_names, solver.Ncomplete_samples)

# e.g.

print 'rows: GT called by tool1 (0/0, 0/1, 1/1)'
print 'cols: GT called by tool2 (0/0, 0/1, 1/1)'
n_avg = results.confusion_matrix('father').avg()
print 'true GT: 0/0'
print n_avg[0, :, :].astype(int)
print 'true GT: 0/1'
print n_avg[1, :, :].astype(int)
print 'true GT: 1/1'
print n_avg[2, :, :].astype(int)
print ''

# e.g.
print 'F score (hard) difference (+ 5th, 95th percentiles) (mother)'
F_delta = results.Fscore('mother')['hard']['diff'].avg()

print str(F_delta) + ' (' + str(F_delta_low) + ', ' + str(F_delta_high) + ')'
print ''

# Full report
print results.report_metrics(mode='all',
