UPGRADE & DEVELOPER NOTES ! ! !

  If you have already built a big database and don't want to rebuild it, but do want
to use a more recent version of the software that entails a change to the data
structures (currently the updates on Sept 25, 2014 and December 31, 2014), please note
the routines DBupgrade.Sep.25.2014 and DBupgrade.Dec.31.2014.  These take a DB, say X,
as an argument, and produce a file .X.ndx which you should then replace .X.idx with.
To update a very old DB to today's version you will need to run both in sequence.

  Both of the upgrade programs can be made with "make" but are not by default created
when make is called without an argument.

  For those interested in the details, on September 25, the "beg" and "end" fields went
from shorts to ints, and on December 31, the "beg" and "end" fields became "fpulse" and
"rlen", respectively where fpulse = beg and rlen = end-beg.

  Unfortunately, the .dust track formats also changed on Dec.31.2014 and Jan.1.2015.  To
upgrade said use DUSTupgrade.Jan.1.2015.  This program takes a DB, say X as an argument
and produces .X.next.anno and .X.next.data which you should then replace .X.dust.* with.
Of course, it may, if the DB is not too big, be easier and simply to just rerun DBdust.

  Developers should also note carefully that the calling conventions to Open_DB have
changed and there are new utility routines Number_Digits and Check_Track.

                The Dazzler Database Library

                            Author:  Gene Myers
                            First:   July 17, 2013
                            Current: December 31, 2014

  To facilitate the multiple phases of the dazzler assembler, we organize all the read
data into what is effectively a "database" of the reads and their meta-information.
The design goals for this data base are as follows:

(1) The database stores the source Pacbio read information in such a way that it can
       recreate the original input data, thus permitting a user to remove the
       (effectively redundant) source files.  This avoids duplicating the same data,
       once in the source file and once in the database.

(2) The data base can be built up incrementally, that is new sequence data can be added
       to the data base over time.

(3) The data base flexibly allows one to store any meta-data desired for reads.  This
       is accomplished with the concept of *tracks* that implementors can add as they
       need them.

(4) The data is held in a compressed form equivalent to the .dexta and .dexqv files of
       the data extraction module.  Both the .fasta and .quiva information for each
       read is held in the data base and can be recreated from it.  The .quiva
       information can be added separately and later on if desired.

(5) To facilitate job parallel, cluster operation of the phases of our assembler, the
       data base has a concept of a *current partitioning* in which all the reads that
       are over a given length and optionally unique to a well, are divided up into
       *blocks* containing roughly a given number of bases, except possibly the last
       block which may have a short count.  Often programs con be run on blocks or
       pairs of blocks and each such job is reasonably well balanced as the blocks are
       all the same size.  One must be careful about changing the partition during an
       assembly as doing so can void the structural validity of any interim
       block-based results.

  A Dazzler DB consists of one named, *visible* file, e.g. FOO.db, and several
*invisible* secondary files encoding various elements of the DB.  The secondary files
are "invisible" to the UNIX OS in the sense that they begin with a "." and hence are
not listed by "ls" unless one specifies the -a flag.  We chose to do this so that when
a user lists the contents of a directory they just see a single name, e.g. FOO.db, that
is the one used to refer to the DB in commands.  The files associated with a database
named, say FOO,  are as follows:

(a) "FOO.db": a text file containing
                 (i)  the list of input files added to the database so far, and
                 (ii) how to partition the database into blocks (if the partition
                       parameters have been set).

(b) ".FOO.idx": a binary "index" of all the meta-data about each read allowing, for
                  example, one to randomly access a read's sequence (in the store
                  ".FOO.bps").  It is 28N + 88 bytes in size where N is the number of
                  reads in the database.

(c) ".FOO.bps": a binary compressed "store" of all the DNA sequences.  It is M/4 bytes
                  in size where M is the total number of base pairs in the database.

(d) ".FOO.qvs": a binary compressed "store" of the 5 Pacbio quality value streams for
                  the reads.  Its size is roughly 5/3M bytes depending on the
                  compression acheived.  This file only exists if .quiva files have
                  been added to the database.

(e) ".FOO.<track>.anno": a *track* containing customized meta-data for each read.  For
    ".FOO.<track>.data"  example, the DBdust command annotates low complexity intervals
                         of reads and records the intervals for each read in two files
                         .FOO.dust.anno & .FOO.dust.data.  Any kind of information
                         about a read can be recorded, such as micro-sats, repeat
                         intervals, corrected sequence, etc.  Specific tracks will be
                         described as modules that produce them are released.

If one does not like the convention of the secondary files being invisible, then
un-defining the constant HIDE_FILES in DB.h before compiling the library, creates
commands that do not place a prefixing "." before secondary file names, e.g. FOO.idx
instead of .FOO.idx.  One then sees all the files realizing a DB when listing the
contents of a directory with ls.

  While a Dazzler DB holds a collection of Pacbio reads, a Dazzler map DB or DAM holds
a collection of contigs from a reference genome assembly.  This special type of DB has
been introduced in order to facilitate the mapping of reads to an assembly and has
been given the suffix .dam to distinguish it from an ordinary DB.  It is structurally
identical to a .db except:

(a) there is no concept of quality values, and hence no .FOO.qvs file.

(b) every .fasta scaffold (a sequence with runs of N's between contigs estimating the
    length of the gap) is broken into a separate contig sequence in the DB and the
    header for each scaffold is retained in a new .FOO.hdr file.

(c) the original and first and last pulse fields in the meta-data records held in
    .FOO.idx, hold instead the contig number and the interval of the contig within
    its original scaffold sequence.

A map DB can equally well be the argument of many of the commands below that operate
on normal DBs.  In general, a .dam can be an argument anywhere a .db can, with the
exception of routines or optioned calls to routines that involve quality values, or
the special routines fasta2DAM and DAM2fasta that create a DAM and reverse said,
just like the pair fasta2DB and DB2fasta do for a normal DB.  So in general when we
refer to a database we are referring to either a DB or a DAM.

  The command DBsplit sets or resets the current partition for a database which is
determined by 3 parameters: (i) the total number of basepairs to place in each block,
(ii) the minimum read length of reads to include within a block, and (iii) whether or
not to only include the longest read from a given well or all reads from a well (NB:
several reads of the same insert in a given well can be produced by the Pacbio
instrument).  Note that the length and uniqueness parameters effectively select a
subset of the reads that contribute to the size of a block.  We call this subset the
*trimmed* data base.  Some commands operate on the entire database, others on the
trimmed database, and yet others have an option flag that permits them to operate on
either at the users discretion.  Therefore, one should note carefully to which version
of the database a command refers to.  This is especially important for any command that
identifies reads by their index (ordinal position) in the database.

Once the database has been split into blocks, the commands DBshow, DBstats, and DBdust
below and commands yet to come, such as the local alignment finder dalign, can take a
block or blocks as arguments.  On the command line this is indicated by supplying the
name of the DB followed by a period and then a block number, e.g. FOO.3.db or simply
FOO.3, refers to the 3'rd block of DB FOO (assuming of course it has a current
partition and said partition has a 3rd block).  One should note carefully that a block
is a contiguous range of reads such that once it is trimmed has a given size in base
pairs (as set by DBsplit).  Thus like an entire database, a block can be either
untrimmed  or trimmed and one needs to again be careful when giving a read index to
a command such as DBshow.

All programs add suffixes (e.g. .db) as needed.  The commands of the database library
are currently as follows:

1. fasta2DB [-v] <path:db> ( -f<file> | <input:fasta> ... )

Builds an initial data base, or adds to an existing database, the list of .fasta files
following the database name argument, or if the -f option is used, the list of .fasta
files in <file>.  A given .fasta file can only be added once to the DB (this is checked
by the command).  The .fasta headers must be in the "Pacbio" format (i.e. the output
of the Pacbio tools or our dextract program) and the well, pulse interval, and read
quality are extracted from the header and kept with each read record.  If the files
are being added to an existing database, and the partition settings of the DB have
already been set (see DBsplit below), then the partitioning of the database is updated
to include the new data.

2. DB2fasta [-vU] [-w<int(80)>] <path:db>

The set of .fasta files for the given DB are recreated from the DB exactly as they were
input.  That is, this is a perfect inversion, including the reconstitution of the
proper .fasta headers.  Because of this property, one can, if desired, delete the
.fasta source files once they are in the DB as they can always be recreated from it.
By default the output sequences are in lower case and 80 chars per line.  The -U option
specifies upper case should be used, and the characters per line, or line width, can be
set to any positive value with the -w option.

3. quiva2DB [-vl] <path:db> ( -f<file> | <input:quiva> ... )

Adds the given .quiva files on the command line or in the file specified by the
-f option to an existing DB "path".  The input files must be added in the same order
as the .fasta files were and have the same root names, e.g. FOO.fasta and FOO.quiva.
The files can be added incrementally but must be added in the same order as the .fasta
files.  This is enforced by the program.  With the -l option set the compression
scheme is a bit lossy to get more compression (see the description of dexqv in the
DEXTRACTOR module).

4. DB2quiva [-vU] <path:db>

The set of .quiva files within the given DB are recreated from the DB exactly as they
were input.  That is, this is a perfect inversion, including the reconstitution of the
proper .quiva headers.  Because of this property, one can, if desired, delete the
.quiva source files once they are in the DB as they can always be recreated from it.
By .fastq convention each QV vector is output as a line without new-lines, and by
default the Deletion Tag entry is in lower case letters.  The -U option specifies
upper case letters should be used instead.

5. fasta2DAM [-v] <path:dam> ( -f<file> | <input:fasta> ... )

Builds a map DB or DAM from the list of .fasta files following the map database name
argument, or if the -f option is used, the list of .fasta files in <file>.  Any .fasta
entry that has a run of N's in it will be split into separate "contig" entries and
the interval of the contig in the original entry recorded.  The header for each .fasta
entry is saved with the contigs created from it.

6. DAM2fasta [-vU] [-w<int(80)>] <path:dam>

The set of .fasta files for the given map DB or DAM are recreated from the DAM
exactly as they were input. That is, this is a perfect inversion, including the
reconstitution of the proper .fasta headers and the concatenation of contigs with
the proper number of N's between them. By default the output sequences are in lower
case and 80 chars per line. The -U option specifies upper case should be used, and
the characters per line, or line width, can be set to any positive value with
the -w option.

7. DBsplit [-a] [-x<int>] [-s<int(200)>] <path:db|dam>

Divide the database <path>.db or <path>.dam conceptually into a series of blocks
referable to on the command line as <path>.1, <path>.2, ...  If the -x option is set
then all reads less than the given length are ignored, and if the -a option is not
set then secondary reads from a given well are also ignored.  The remaining reads,
constituting what we call the trimmed DB, are split amongst the blocks so that each
block is of size -s * 1Mbp except for the last which necessarily contains a smaller
residual.  The default value for -s is 200Mbp because blocks of this size can be
compared by our "overlapper" dalign in roughly 16Gb of memory.  The blocks are very
space efficient in that their sub-index of the master .idx is computed on the fly
when loaded, and the .bps and .qvs files (if a .db) of base pairs and quality values,
respectively, is shared with the master DB.  Any relevant portions of tracks
associated with the DB are also computed on the fly when loading a database block.

8. DBdust [-b] [-w<int(64)>] [-t<double(2.)>] [-m<int(10)>] <path:db|dam>

Runs the symmetric DUST algorithm over the reads in the untrimmed DB <path>.db or
<path>.dam producing a track .<path>.dust[.anno,.data] that marks all intervals of low
complexity sequence, where the scan window is of size -w, the threshold for being a
low-complexity interval is -t, and only perfect intervals of size greater than -m are
recorded.  If the -b option is set then the definition of low complexity takes into
account the frequency of a given base.  The command is incremental if given a DB to
which new data has been added since it was last run on the DB, then it will extend
the track to include the new reads.  It is important to set this flag for genomes with
a strong AT/GC bias, albeit the code is a tad slower.  The dust track, if present,
is understood and used by DBshow, DBstats, and dalign.

DBdust can also be run over an untriimmed DB block in which case it outputs a track
encoding where the trace file names contain the block number, e.g. .FOO.3.dust.anno
and .FOO.3.dust.data, given FOO.3 on the command line.  We call this a *block track*.
This permits job parallelism in block-sized chunks, and the resulting sequence of
block tracks can then be merged into a track for the entire untrimmed DB with Catrack.

9. Catrack [-v] <path:db|dam> <track:name>

Find all block tracks of the form .<path>.#.<track>... and merge them into a single
track, .<path>.<track>..., for the given DB or DAM.   The block track files must all
encode the same kind of track data (this is checked), and the files must exist for
block 1, 2, 3, ... up to the last block number.

10. DBshow [-unqUQ] [-w<int(80)>] [-m<track>]+
                    <path:db|dam> [ <reads:FILE> | <reads:range> ... ]

Displays the requested reads in the database <path>.db or <path>.dam.  By default the
command applies to the trimmed database, but if -u is set then the entire DB is used.
If no read arguments are given then every read in the database or database block is
displayed.  Otherwise the input file or the list of supplied integer ranges give the
ordinal positions in the actively loaded portion of the db.  In the case of a file, it
should simply contain a read index, one per line.  In the other case, a read range is
either a lone integer or the symbol $, in which case the read range consists of just
that read (the last read in the database if $).  One may also give two positive
integers separated by a dash to indicate a range of integers, where again a $
represents the index of the last read in the actively loaded db.  For example,
1 3-5 $ displays reads 1, 3, 4, 5, and the last read in the active db.  As another
example, 1-$ displays every read in the active db (the default).

By default a .fasta file of the read sequences is displayed.  If the -q option is
set, then the QV streams are also displayed in a non-standard modification of the
fasta format.  If the -n option is set then the DNA sequence is *not* displayed.
If the -Q option is set then a .quiva file is displayed  and in this case the -n
and -m options mayt not be set (and the -q and -w options have no effect).

If one or more masks are set with the -m option then the track intervals are also
displayed in an additional header line and the bases within an interval are displayed
in the case opposite that used for all the other bases.  By default the output
sequences are in lower case and 80 chars per line.  The -U option specifies upper
case should be used, and the characters per line, or line width, can be set to any
positive value with the -w option.

The .fasta or .quiva files that are output can be converted into a DB by fasta2DB
and quiva2DB (if the -q and -n options are not set and no -m options are set),
giving one a simple way to make a DB of a subset of the reads for testing purposes.

11. DBstats [-nu] [-b<int(1000)] [-m<track>]+ <path:db|dam>

Show overview statistics for all the reads in the trimmed data base <path>.db or
<path>.dam, including a histogram of read lengths where the bucket size is set
with the -b option (default 1000).  If the -u option is given then the untrimmed
database is summarized.  If the -n option is given then the histogran of read lengths
is not displayed.  Any track such as a "dust" track that gives a seried of
intervals along the read can be specified with the -m option in which case a summary
and a histogram of the interval lengths is displayed.

12. DBrm <path:db|dam> ...

Delete all the files for the given data bases.  Do not use rm to remove a database, as
there are at least two and often several secondary files for each DB including track
files, and all of these are removed by DBrm.

13. simulator <genlen:double> [-c<double(20.)>] [-b<double(.5)] [-r<int>]
                              [-m<int(10000)>]  [-s<int(2000)>]
                              [-x<int(4000)>]   [-e<double(.15)>]
                              [-M<file>]

In addition to the DB commands we include here, somewhat tangentially, a simple
simulator that generates synthetic reads for a random genome.  simulator first
generates a fake genome of size genlen*1Mb long, that has an AT-bias of -b.  It then
generates sample reads of mean length -m from a log-normal length distribution with
standard deviation -s, but ignores reads of length less than -x.  It collects enough
reads to cover the genome -c times and introduces -e fraction errors into each read
where the ratio of insertions, deletions, and substitutions are set by defined
constants INS_RATE (default 73%) and DEL_RATE (default 20%) within generate.c.  One
can also control the rate at which reads are picked from the forward and reverse
strands by setting the defined constant FLIP_RATE (default 50/50).  The -r option seeds
the random number generator for the generation of the genome so that one can
reproducibly generate the same underlying genome to sample from.  If this parameter is
missing, then the job id of the invocation seeds the random number generator.  The
output is sent to the standard output (i.e. it is a UNIX pipe).  The output is in
Pacbio .fasta format suitable as input to fasta2DB.  Finally, the -M option requests
that the coordinates from which each read has been sampled are written to the indicated
file, one line per read, ASCII encoded.  This "map" file essentially tells one where
every read belongs in an assembly and is very useful for debugging and testing
purposes.  If a read pair is say b,e then if b < e the read was sampled from [b,e] in
the forward direction, and if b > e from [e,b] in the reverse direction.

Example:

     A small complete example of most of the commands above. 

> simulator 1.0 -c20. >G.fasta  //  Generate a 20x data sets of a 1Mb genome
> fasta2DB G G.fasta            //  Create a compressed data base of the reads, G.db
> rm G.fasta                    //  Redundant, recreate any time with "DB2fasta G"
> DBsplit -s11 G                //  Split G into 2 parts of size ~ 11MB each
> DBdust G.1                    //  Produce a "dust" track on each part
