callVariant

callVariant is the core of moPepGen. It takes multiple GVF files, generated by any moPepGen parser, and calls variant peptides caused by genomic variants using a graph-based algorithm. For any transcript, it creates a three-frame transcript variant graph by incorporating all variants from any sources (SNV, INDEL, fusion, alternative splicing, RNA editing, and circRNA). The transcript variant graph is then translated into a peptide variant graph, followed by converting to a cleavage graph based on the enzymatic cleavage rule. The variant peptide graph is than used to call for variant peptides that contains at least one variant, and do not present in the canonical peptide pool.
