TileSeq mutation count package

This package is made to parse input sequecning files (fastq) with user provided parameter.csv file. Output of this pipeline is mutation counts for each pair of fastq files.

Dependencies

python 3.7/3.8 (tested mainly under py3.7)

R 3.6+ and tileseqMave

Bowtie2 and Bowtie2-build (need to be in the same folder)

Installation

Please use conda to set up the environment before installing the package:

if you don't have python3.7 installed: conda install python==3.7
create a python3.7 environment: conda create -n py37 python=3.7
activate an environment: conda activate py37

You will also need the scripts: csv2json.R and calibratePhred.R which can be installed via installing tileseqMave. Make sure csv2json.R can be found in $PATH

To install the package (please visit pypi page for the newest version number):

python -m pip install TileSeqMut==newest_version

Execution

After installation, you can run the package (on DC):

tileseq_mut -p /path/to/paramSheet.csv -o /path/to/output_folder -f ~/path/to/fastq_file_folder/ -name name_of_the_run

Examples:

# on DC
tileseq_mut -p $HOME/dev/tilseq_mutcount/190506_param_MTHFR.csv -o $HOME/dev/tilseq_mutcount/output/ -f $HOME
/tileseq_data/WT/ -name MTHFR_test -env DC

# on GALEN
tileseq_mut -p $HOME/dev/tilseq_mutcount/190506_param_MTHFR.csv -o $HOME/dev/tilseq_mutcount/output/ -f $HOME
/tileseq_data/WT/ -name MTHFR_test

This command will analyze fastq files in the folder: ~/tileseq_data/WT/ and make a time stamped output folder with the prefix: MTHFR_test in $HOME/dev/tilseq_mutcount/output/ (Using all default parameters, see below)

Start the run

Once the run starts, it will first submit alignment jobs to the cluster and keep tracking of all the submitted alignment jobs. Once all the jobs are finished, the pipeline will automatically submit another batch of jobs for mutation calling.
if you want to skip alignment and only do mutation calls for existing sam files you can run the following command:
Example of skipping alignment:

tileseq_mut -p ~/dev/tilseq_mutcount/190506_param_MTHFR.csv -o /home/rothlab1/rli/dev/tilseq_mutcount/output
/190506_MTHFR_WT_2020-01-29-17-07-04/ --skip_alignment -n rerun_mut_count

if you want to resubmit mutation calls for failed samples:
Example of resubmit:

tileseq_mut -p ~/dev/tilseq_mutcount/190506_param_MTHFR.csv -o /home/rothlab1/rli/dev/tilseq_mutcount/output
/190506_MTHFR_WT_2020-01-29-17-07-04/190506_MTHFR_WT_2020-01-29-17-07-04_mut_count/ --resubmit -n resub

Input files

/path/to/fastq/ - Full path to input fastq files

parameters.csv - CSV file contains information for this run (please see example here ). This file is required to be comma-seperated and saved in csv format.

Output files

One output folder is created for each run. The output folder are named with name_time-stamp

Within each output folder, the following files and folders will be generated:

./main.log - main logging file for alignment

./args.log - arguments for this run

./ref/ - Reference fasta file and bowtie2 index

./env_jobs/ - Bash scripts for submitting the alignment jobs. If any of the sam file(s) didn't generate correctly, use sbatch *.sh to resubmit job for this sample

./sam_files/ - Alignment output (SAM) and log files for bowtie2. Also contains alignment log file. Use this to check alignment rate.

./name_time-stamped_mut_count/ - Mutation counts in each sample are saved in csv files

- `./count_sample_*.csv` - Raw mutation counts for each sample. With meta data in header. Variants are represented in hgvs format

- `./offreads_samplename.csv` - Contains information for all the reads that did not cover 90% of the tile

- `./env_jobs/` - Bash scripts for summitting the mutation count jobs, also log files for each sample. 

    * `./env_jobs/*.log` - log file from the cluster
    * `./env_jobs/*.sh`  - submission script

- `coverage_sample_name.csv` - File contains read counts for each position in the tile. There are
 four columns in the file: 
 pos: nt position of the tile 
 m_both: Number of variants found on both reads covering the site 
 m_r1: Number of variants found only on Read 1
 m_r2: Number of variants found only on Read 2
 passed: Number of variants passed filter

- `*_R1/R2_calibrate_phred.csv` - Calibrated Phred scores (if applicable)

The count_sample_**.csv is passed to tileseqMave for further analysis. If, for some reason, some of the count_sample_*.csv file did not generate correctly, you can resubmmit the job with the argument --resubmit (see example above)

Alignment

The pipeline takes the sequence in the parameter file as reference and align the fastq files to the whole reference sequence. This is the sequence specified by user in the parameter file.

For each pair of fastq files (R1 and R2), the pipeline submits one alignment job to the cluster. In the folder env_sh you can find all the scripts that were submitted to the cluster when you run main.py.

Alignments were done using Bowtie2 with following parameters:

bowtie2 --no-head --norc --no-sq --rdg 12,1 --rfg 12,1 --local -x {ref} -U {r1} -S {r1_sam_file}
bowtie2 --no-head --nofw --no-sq --rdg 12,1 --rfg 12,1 --local -x {ref} -U {r2} -S {r2_sam_file}

If -rc is provided, the following parameters are used. BE CAREFUL! In this case, the reads are aligned to both fw and rc reference and variants are called regardless of which strand the read mapped to.

bowtie2 --no-head --no-sq --rdg 12,1 --rfg 12,1 --local -x {ref} -U {r1} -S {r1_sam_file}
bowtie2 --no-head --no-sq --rdg 12,1 --rfg 12,1 --local -x {ref} -U {r2} -S {r2_sam_file}

Mutation Calls

From each pair of sam files we count mutations for each sample.

We first filter out reads that did not map to reference or reads that are outside of the tile. Then pass the rest of the reads to count_mut.py. Please read the wiki page about how to call mutations using CIGAR string and MD:Z tag.

In order to eliminate sequencing errors. We apply a posterior probability cut-off. The posterior probability of a mutation was calculated using the Phred scores provided in SAM files.

Other pacakges

The following pacakges are also installed with TileSeqMut.

posterior_QC

Process posterior probability files, generate posteriorQC output. It can only be used when the run was executed with --posteriorQC
To run posterior_QC:

usage: posterior_QC [-h] -i INPUT -p PARAM

TileSeq mutation posterior QC, this will generate posterior_QC folder in
*_mut_count

optional arguments:

  -p PARAM, --param PARAM
                        json paramter file

random_ds

Random downsampling of sequencing data. Note that after downsampling, the output fastq files are saved in the same dir as the original fastq files. You will need to gzip them.
To run random_ds:

usage: random_ds [-h] [-input INPUT] [-n N]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  -input INPUT  input folder contains original fastq files

makePRC

Before you run this, please install: yogiroc
The script plots balanced Precision Recall Curve (PRC) given the score file (*_simple_aa.csv) and gene name. Plots are made using R package yogiroc
It gets variants from public databases: Clinvar and gnomAD. The pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants from clinvar are used as pathogenic set. The benign/likely benign from clinvar and common variants from gnomAD (MAF > 1e-4) are used as benign set
GRCh38 is used
Currently only supports VARITY as a comparison
To run makePRC:

usage: makePRC [-h] -s SCORES -g GENE [-c CLINVAR] [-o OUTPUT]
               [-r RANGE RANGE] [-v VARITY]

Make PRC curve using DMS scores

optional arguments:

                        Two integers to indicate the start/end of the targeted
                        region. If specified, only variants in this range will
                        be included. e.g -r 0 180 means variants in the range
                        of (0, 180] will be included for PRC curve
  -v VARITY, --varity VARITY
