Overview

FUSOR (FUSion Object Representation) provides modeling and validation tools for representing gene fusions in a precise, computable structure that adheres to the VICC Gene Fusion Specification. It also provides easy access to transcript selection and coordinate conversion tools, and enables generation of human-readable fusion nomenclature.

Install

FUSOR is available on PyPI:

python3 -m pip install fusor

See the installation instructions in the documentation for a description of dependency setup requirements.

Usage

Fusion and subcomponent constructors are provided through a core FUSOR class:

>>> from fusor import FUSOR
>>> f = FUSOR()
>>> fusion = f.fusion(
...     structure=[
...         {
...             "type": "GeneElement",
...             "gene": {
...                 "type": "Gene",
...                 "label": "EWSR1",
...                 "id": "hgnc:3508"
...             }
...         },
...         {
...           "type": "UnknownGeneElement"
...         }
...     ],
...     assay={
...         "type": "Assay",
...         "methodUri": "pmid:33576979",
...         "assayId": "obi:OBI_0003094",
...         "assayName": "fluorescence in-situ hybridization assay",
...         "fusionDetection": "inferred",
...     },
... )
>>> fusion.type
<FUSORTypes.ASSAYED_FUSION: 'AssayedFusion'>
