Abstrakt: We present MoCHI, a tool to fit interpretable models using deep mutational scanning data. MoCHI infers free energy changes, as well as interaction terms (energetic couplings) for specified biophysical models, including from multimodal phenotypic data. When a user-specified model is unavailable, global nonlinearities (epistasis) can be estimated from the data. MoCHI also leverages ensemble, background-averaged epistasis to learn sparse models that can incorporate higher-order epistatic terms. MoCHI is freely available as a Python package ( https://github.com/lehner-lab/MoCHI ) relying on the PyTorch machine learning framework and allows biophysical measurements at scale, including the construction of allosteric maps of proteins.
