Package: rrmscorer
RRMScorer documentationRRMScorer allows the user to easily predict how likely a single RRM is to bind ssRNA using a carefully generated alignment for the RRM structures in complex with RNA, from which we analyzed the interaction patterns and derived the scores (Please address to the publication for more details on the method REF)🔗 RRMScorer is also available online now! (https://bio2byte.be/rrmscorer/)Pip package installationpip is the package installer for Python. You can use pip to install packages from the Python Package Index and other indexes.🔗 Related link:Pip official documentation.$pipinstallrrmscorer⚠️ Important note:Apple silicon users may need to install the package in a Rosetta environment, using conda for isntance, bacause some packages are not available for the silicon architecture yet.$CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64condacreate-nrosetta_environmentFeaturesRRMScorer has several features to either calculate the binding score for a specific RRM and RNA sequences, for a set of RRM sequences in a fasta file, or to explore which are the best RNA binders according to our scoring method.i) UniProt id (with 1 or more RRMs) vs RNATo use this feature the user needs to input:-uThe UniProt identifier-rThe RNA sequence to score-w[default=5] The window size to test (Only 3 and 5 nucleotide windows are accepted)-j[Optional] To store the results in a json file per RRM found in the declared directory path-c[Optional] To store the results in a csv file per RRM found in the declared directory path-p[Optional] To generate score plots for all the RNA possible windows per RRM found in the declared directory path-a[Optional] To generate a fasta file with each input sequence aligned to the HMM$python-mrrmscorer-uP19339-rUAUAUUAGUAGUA-w5-joutput/-coutput/-poutput/ii) Fasta file with RRM sequences vs RNATo use this feature the user needs to input:-fFasta file with 1 or more RRM sequences.
