# St. Jude Omics Ecosystem Bridge Module

## Overview

The St. Jude bridge module enables seamless interoperability between **OMICS-SIMD** internal types and the **St. Jude Children's Research Hospital omics crate**, supporting critical pediatric cancer genomics research.

## Purpose

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital operates one of the world's leading cancer research centers. Their omics platform requires standardized, interoperable sequence analysis tools. This bridge module:

- ✅ Maps OMICS-SIMD types to St. Jude clinical formats
- ✅ Supports bidirectional conversion (OMICS-SIMD ↔ St. Jude)
- ✅ Preserves clinical metadata and annotations
- ✅ Enables integration with St. Jude databases (ClinVar, COSMIC)
- ✅ Maintains type safety throughout conversions
- ✅ Validates sequences for clinical accuracy

## Type Mappings

| OMICS-SIMD | St. Jude | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|---------|
| `AminoAcid` | `StJudeAminoAcid` | 20 canonical + 4 special amino acid codes |
| `Protein` | `StJudeSequence` | Protein with metadata (ID, description, etc.) |
| `SeqRecord` | `StJudeSequence` | Generic sequence record (DNA/RNA) |
| `CharState` | `ParsimonyState` | Phylogenetic character states |
| `AlignmentResult` | `StJudeAlignment` | Alignment with clinical metrics (E-value, bit score) |
| `ScoringMatrix` | `StJudeScoringMatrix` | Substitution scores with gap penalties |

## Core Types

### `StJudeSequence`

Represents a sequence record compatible with St. Jude's clinical pipeline:

```rust
pub struct StJudeSequence {
    pub id: String,                          // e.g., "BRCA1", "chr17:p21.31"
    pub accession: Option<String>,           // GenBank, UniProt, RefSeq IDs
    pub sequence: Vec<u8>,                   // Encoded sequence data
    pub sequence_type: SequenceType,         // Protein, Dna, Rna, Codon
    pub description: Option<String>,         // Full annotation
    pub genomic_location: Option<String>,    // Chromosome coordinates
    pub source_db: Option<String>,           // Ensembl, RefSeq, etc.
    pub taxonomy_id: Option<u32>,            // NCBI taxonomy (9606 = human)
    pub clinical_flags: Vec<String>,         // ["pathogenic", "loss-of-function"]
    pub metadata: HashMap<String, String>,   // Custom key-value pairs
}
```

### `StJudeAlignment`

Full alignment record with clinical significance:

```rust
pub struct StJudeAlignment {
    pub query_id: String,
    pub subject_id: String,
    pub score: i32,
    pub evalue: f64,                         // Statistical significance
    pub bit_score: f64,                      // Normalized score
    pub identity: f64,                       // Sequence identity (0.0-1.0)
    pub cigar: String,                       // SAM format
    pub interpretation: Option<String>,      // Clinical meaning
    pub databases: Vec<String>,              // ClinVar, COSMIC, dbSNP
}
```

### `BridgeConfig`

Configuration for conversion behavior:

```rust
pub struct BridgeConfig {
    pub include_coordinates: bool,           // Add genomic coordinates
    pub include_clinical: bool,              // Preserve clinical metadata
    pub default_source_db: Option<String>,   // Default: "Ensembl"
    pub default_taxonomy_id: Option<u32>,    // Default: 9606 (Human)
    pub validate_sequences: bool,            // Validate during conversion
}
```

## Usage Examples

### Example 1: Basic Protein Conversion

Convert a protein sequence to St. Jude format:

```rust
use omics_simd::protein::Protein;
use omics_simd::futures::st_jude_bridge::{BridgeConfig, StJudeBridge};

let bridge = StJudeBridge::new(BridgeConfig::default());

// OMICS-SIMD format
let protein = Protein::from_string("MVHLTPEEKS")?
    .with_id("TP53_HUMAN".to_string())
    .with_description("Tumor suppressor p53".to_string());

// Convert to St. Jude format
let st_jude_seq = bridge.to_st_jude_sequence(&protein)?;

assert_eq!(st_jude_seq.id, "TP53_HUMAN");
assert_eq!(st_jude_seq.len(), 10);
assert_eq!(st_jude_seq.source_db, Some("Ensembl".to_string()));
```

### Example 2: Clinical Metadata

Add clinical annotations for cancer research:

```rust
let mut st_jude_seq = bridge.to_st_jude_sequence(&protein)?;

// Add clinical significance flags
st_jude_seq.add_clinical_flag("pathogenic".to_string());
st_jude_seq.add_clinical_flag("loss-of-function".to_string());

// Add research metadata
st_jude_seq.metadata.insert("gene_name".to_string(), "TP53".to_string());
st_jude_seq.metadata.insert("disease".to_string(), "Li-Fraumeni Syndrome".to_string());
st_jude_seq.metadata.insert("patient_id".to_string(), "SJD-0123456".to_string());

println!("Clinical significance: {}", st_jude_seq.is_clinically_significant());
```

### Example 3: DNA Sequence Handling

Convert genomic DNA sequences:

```rust
use omics_simd::futures::SeqRecord;

let dna_record = SeqRecord {
    id: "chr17:7571720-7590863".to_string(),
    description: Some("TP53 gene region".to_string()),
    sequence: "ACGTACGTACGTACGT".to_string(),
    quality: None,
};

// Convert to St. Jude DNA sequence
let st_jude_dna = bridge.seq_record_to_st_jude(&dna_record)?;

assert_eq!(st_jude_dna.sequence_type, SequenceType::Dna);
assert_eq!(st_jude_dna.len(), 16);

// Convert back
let recovered = bridge.st_jude_to_seq_record(&st_jude_dna)?;
assert_eq!(dna_record.sequence, recovered.sequence);
```

### Example 4: Batch Processing

Process multiple sequences for St. Jude pipeline:

```rust
let cancer_genes = vec![
    ("BRCA1", "MDLSALRVEEVQNVINAMQKILECPIC..."),
    ("BRCA2", "MDLSALRPEAARALRPDEDRLSPLHSV..."),
    ("TP53", "MEEPQSDPSVEPPLSQETFSDLWKLLPE..."),
];

for (gene_name, seq) in cancer_genes {
    let protein = Protein::from_string(seq)?
        .with_id(gene_name.to_string());
    
    let st_jude_seq = bridge.to_st_jude_sequence(&protein)?;
    
    // Send to St. Jude analysis pipeline
    println!("Processed: {} (length={})", st_jude_seq.id, st_jude_seq.len());
}
```

### Example 5: Custom Configuration

Use custom bridge configuration for specific workflows:

```rust
let clinical_config = BridgeConfig {
    include_coordinates: true,
    include_clinical: true,
    default_source_db: Some("ClinVar".to_string()),
    default_taxonomy_id: Some(9606),  // Homo sapiens
    validate_sequences: true,
};

let bridge = StJudeBridge::new(clinical_config);
let st_jude_seq = bridge.to_st_jude_sequence(&protein)?;
```

    Ok(st_jude_seq) => println!("Converted: {}", st_jude_seq.id),
    Err(Error::InvalidAminoAcid(c)) => println!("Invalid amino acid: {}", c),
    Err(Error::EmptySequence) => println!("Empty sequence not allowed"),

}
```
