Abstract
SummaryThe increasing development of sequence-based machine learning models has raised the demand for manipulating sequences for this application. However, existing approaches to edit and evaluate genome sequences using models have limitations, such as incompatibility with structural variants, challenges in identifying responsible sequence perturbations, and the need for vcf file inputs and phased data. To address these bottlenecks, we present Sequence Mutator for Predictive Models (SuPreMo), a scalable and comprehensive tool for performing and supporting in silico mutagenesis experiments. We then demonstrate how pairs of reference and perturbed sequences can be used with machine learning models to prioritize pathogenic variants or discover new functional sequences.Availability and implementationSuPreMo was written in Python, and can be run using only one line of code to generate both sequences and 3D genome disruption scores. The codebase, instructions for installation and use, and tutorials are on the GitHub page: https://github.com/ketringjoni/SuPreMo.
