Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Deep-mutational scanning (DMS) is a powerful technique that allows screening large libraries of mutants at high throughput. It has been used in many applications, including to estimate the fitness impact of all single mutants of entire proteins, to catalog drug resistance mutations and even to predict protein structures. Here, we present gyōza, a Snakemake-based workflow to analyze DMS data. gyōza requires little programming knowledge and comes with comprehensive documentation to help the user go from raw sequencing data to functional impact scores. Complete with quality control and an automatically generated HTML report, this new pipeline should facilitate the analysis of time-series DMS experiments. gyōza is freely available on GitHub ( https://github.com/durr1602/gyoza ). Article summary Deep-mutational scanning (DMS) refers to molecular biology methods used to generate many genetic variants and evaluate their effect on adaptive fitness. It is used both in fundamental and applied research, with implications in genomic medicine. Many data processing steps are needed to transform the output of DMS, high-throughput sequencing data, into scores that quantify the fitness effect of each variant. The analysis is tailored to the type of experimental design, which can vary a lot. To facilitate such analysis and make it accessible to people with limited knowledge in bioinformatics, we have developed gyōza, a free and easy-to-use program to analyze DMS data.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
