=head1 NAME

ExACpLI - Add ExAC pLI to the VEP output 

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  mv ExACpLI.pm ~/.vep/Plugins
  mv ExACpLI_values.txt ~/.vep/Plugins
  ./vep -i variants.vcf --plugin ExACpLI

=head1 DESCRIPTION


  A VEP plugin that adds the probabililty of a gene being 
  loss-of-function intolerant (pLI) to the VEP output.
  
  Lek et al. (2016) estimated pLI using the expectation-maximization 
  (EM) algorithm and data from 60,706 individuals from 
  ExAC (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/about). The closer pLI is to 1, 
  the more likely the gene is loss-of-function (LoF) intolerant. 
  
  Note: the pLI was calculated using a representative transcript and
  is reported by gene in the plugin.

  The data for the plugin is provided by Kaitlin Samocha and Daniel MacArthur. 
  See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27535533 for a description 
  of the dataset and analysis.

  The ExACpLI_values.txt file is found alongside the plugin in the 
  VEP_plugins GitHub repository. The file contains the fields gene and pLI 
  extracted from the file at 
    
    ftp://ftp.broadinstitute.org/pub/ExAC_release/release0.3/functional_gene_constraint/
      fordist_cleaned_exac_r03_march16_z_pli_rec_null_data.txt

  To use another values file, add it as a parameter i.e.

     ./vep -i variants.vcf --plugin ExACpLI,values_file.txt
