Architecture

SpliceAI uses a residual convolutional network with dilated filters to integrate sequence context. It predicts donor, acceptor and non-splice-site probabilities along the sequence; comparing alleles converts those predictions into variant scores. The output is not tissue-specific.

The tool evaluates reference and alternative alleles and reports predicted acceptor/donor gains and losses with their relative positions. Annotation, search distance and masking determine the reported variant scores.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths supported by sources

  • Produces splice-specific scores and predicted event positions without fitting a classifier to the user’s assay labels.illumina/SpliceAI official source · README.md: package description, License, Usage and Frequently Asked Questions

Limitations and conditions

  • Code, trained models and precomputed annotations have distinct use terms. Annotation and sequence checks can leave variants unscored.illumina/SpliceAI official source · README.md: package description, License, Usage and Frequently Asked Questions
