DEEPrior: a deep learning tool for the prioritization of gene fusions
Abstract: Summary: In the last decade, increasing attention has been paid to the study of gene fusions. However, the problem of determining whether a gene fusion is a cancer driver or just a passenger mutation is still an open issue. Here we present DEEPrior, an inherently flexible deep learning tool with two modes (Inference and Retraining). Inference mode predicts the probability of a gene fusion being involved in an oncogenic process, by directly exploiting the amino acid sequence of the fused protein. Retraining mode allows to obtain a custom prediction model including new data provided by the user. Availability and implementation: Both DEEPrior and the protein fusions dataset are freely available from GitHub at (https://github.com/bioinformatics-polito/DEEPrior). The tool was designed to operate in Python 3.7, with minimal additional libraries. Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
