# [Claude/lrnassar] popEVE - proteome-wide missense deleteriousness scores (2026-06-30)

# popEVE places missense variants on a single proteome-wide, human-specific spectrum of
# deleteriousness by calibrating EVE + ESM-1v evolutionary scores against UK Biobank
# population variation with a Gaussian process.

# Data: the complete UKBB-trained GRCh38 VCF (popEVE v1.1, dated 2025-07-15) from the
# pop.evemodel.org bulk downloads. The VCF carries, per missense substitution, genomic
# coordinates plus INFO fields protein (RefSeq NP_), gene, mutant (e.g. E773D),
# gap_frequency, popEVE, pop-adjusted_EVE, pop-adjusted_ESM1v, EVE, ESM1v.

# The combined VCF is one position-sorted file with all proteins interleaved (overlapping
# genes share positions), so records are grouped by protein on disk before conversion.
# Each protein becomes one heatmap BED12+ entry: columns = amino acid positions at codon
# genomic coordinates, rows = 20 standard amino acids ordered by class (A V L I M F Y W R H
# K D E S T N Q G C P), matching the MaveDB heatmap track. Multiple codon changes encoding
# the same amino acid substitution carry identical popEVE scores and are deduplicated.
# Wildtype cells are empty. popEVE lists only positions carrying a missense alt, so a codon
# may have only 2 of its 3 genomic positions; block sizes are clamped (min(3, gap-to-next))
# so adjacent codon blocks cannot overlap, which keeps the file valid for bedToBigBed.
# Strand is taken from NCBI RefSeq (the VCF has no strand field), cross-checked against the
# strand inferred from genomic-vs-protein-position direction.
# Color: global cross-gene gradient keyed to raw popEVE; interior anchors at the published
# severe (-5.056) and moderate (-4.617) cutoffs and the proteome median (~-3.5); outer
# saturation anchors at the 0.5th / 99.5th percentiles of the proteome-wide distribution.
# Records with popEVE=nan (e.g. start-codon M1 variants) are skipped.

bash runBuild.sh

# runBuild.sh steps, in order:
#   1. NP_->strand map:
#        hgsql hg38 -N -e "select distinct l.protAcc, g.chrom, g.strand from ncbiRefSeqLink l
#          join ncbiRefSeq g on g.name=l.mrnaAcc where l.protAcc like 'NP\_%'"
#        -> np_strand.tsv (prefer the strand on a primary chromosome)
#   2. extract: zcat ...vcf.gz | extractPopEve.py > popEve_records.tsv
#   3. color anchors: p0.5 / p99.5 of popEVE over all records -> anchors.txt
#   4. sort -t$'\t' -k1,1 -k4,4n -S 4G -T sorttmp popEve_records.tsv > popEve_sorted.tsv
#   5. vcfToPopEveHeatmap.py popEve_sorted.tsv np_strand.tsv popEve_raw.bed $LO $HI
#   6. bedSort + awk filter to chrom.sizes -> popEve_filtered.bed
#   7. bedToBigBed -type=bed12+ -tab -as=popEve_heatmap.as popEve_filtered.bed chrom.sizes popEve.bb
# Scripts: ~/kent/src/hg/makeDb/scripts/popEve/{extractPopEve.py,vcfToPopEveHeatmap.py,popEve_heatmap.as}

# Notes:
#  - popEVE is distributed as genomic SNVs, so only single-nucleotide-reachable missense
#    substitutions are scored; each heatmap column (codon) therefore has ~6-9 of 19 rows
#    filled. This is expected and sparser than the EVE track (which scores all 19).
#  - The heatmap renderer parses the score array (chopCommas, keeps trailing empty) and the
#    label array (chopByCharRespectDoubleQuotesKeepEmpty, drops one trailing empty)
#    differently. When the last cell (last row, last column) is empty the counts disagree and
#    the track aborts; the converter sets a non-empty placeholder label on that one trailing
#    cell (its score stays empty so the cell is uncolored). trailingFix count below.

# Build results:
#   records extracted: 66,400,085 (nan skipped: 15,156)
#   color anchors: loAnchor=-5.742 hiAnchor=-2.287 (popEVE p0.5 / p99.5; median -3.358)
#   proteins: 18,968 (18,343 distinct gene symbols; remainder are RefSeq isoforms)
#   amino-acid positions: 10,114,809;  bases covered: 886,638,890
#   strand: 0 inferred-vs-RefSeq mismatches; 25 proteins not in the RefSeq map (strand from
#     coordinate inference); 0 with no strand signal; 0 dropped by chrom.sizes filter
#   trailingFix (trailing empty cell relabeled): 15,555 proteins
#   mouseover: HTML multi-line labels (<br>/<b>); component scores rounded to 3 dp;
