Template Runner for PhEval

This serves as a template repository designed for crafting a personalised PhEval runner. PhEval (Phenotypic Inference Evaluation Framework) is an extensible framework for evaluating variant priorotization and phenotype matching pipelines.

Presently, the runner executes a mock predictor found in src/pheval_template/run/fake_predictor.py. Nevertheless, the primary objective is to leverage this repository as a starting point to develop your own runner for your tool, allowing you to customise and override existing methods effortlessly, given that it already encompasses all the necessary setup for integration with PhEval. There are exemplary methods throughout the runner to provide an idea on how things could be implemented.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/yaseminbridges/pheval.template.git
cd pheval.template
poetry install
poetry shell

Configuring a run with the template runner

A config.yaml should be located in the input directory and formatted like so:

tool: template
tool_version: 1.0.0
variant_analysis: False
gene_analysis: True
disease_analysis: False
tool_specific_configuration_options:

The testdata directory should include the subdirectory named phenopackets - which should contain phenopackets.

Run command

pheval run --input-dir /path/to/input_dir \
--runner templatephevalrunner \
--output-dir /path/to/output_dir \
--testdata-dir /path/to/testdata_dir

Benchmark

You can benchmark the run with the pheval-utils benchmark command:

pheval-utils benchmark --directory /path/to/output_directoy \
--phenopacket-dir /path/to/phenopacket_dir \
--output-prefix OUTPUT_PREFIX \
--gene-analysis \
--plot-type bar_cumulative

The path provided to the --directory parameter should be the same as the one provided to the --output-dir in the pheval run command

Personalising to your own tool

If overriding this template to create your own runner implementation. There are key files that should change to fit with your runner implementation.

1. The name of the Runner class in src/pheval_template/runner.py should be changed.
2. Once the name of the Runner class has been customised, line 15 in pyproject.toml should also be changed to match the class name, then run poetry lock and poetry install

The runner you give on the CLI will then change to the name of the runner class.

You should also remove the src/pheval_template/run/fake_predictor.py and implement the running of your own tool. Methods in the post-processing can also be altered to process your own tools output.
