Python package for clustering, typing, visualisation and exploration of plasmid networks.
plasnet allows you to cluster, type and visualise plasmids given their evolutionary distance, computed upstream.
The first plasnet command is split. It creates a plasmid graph given a list of plasmids and their pairwise distances.
It then splits this graph into communities. Communities are groups of plasmids that roughly connected to each other.
This command allows you to view the full plasmids graph and also the isolated communities.
This command allows you to refine the communities defined in the split command into types or subcommunities.
The idea is that you can use a more precise distance function to type the communities than the one used to split the graph.
The different types or subcommunities will have different colours in the visualisation.

This command allows you to add sample hits annotations on top of previously identified subcommunities or types
in the type command. With this command you can explore the subcommunities several different samples hit in more
details and check if they are, for example, sharing plasmids.

Creates and split a plasmid graph into communities.
The plasmid graph is defined by plasmid and distance files.
The plasmid file is a tab-separated file with one column describing all plasmids in the dataset.
Example of such file:
plasmid
AP024796.1
AP024825.1
CP012142.1
CP014494.1
CP019149.1
CP021465.1
CP022675.1
CP024687.1
CP026642.1
CP027485.1
The distances file is a tab-separated file with 3 columns: plasmid_1, plasmid_2, distance.
plasmid_1 and plasmid_2 are plasmid names, and distance is a float between 0 and 1.
The distance threshold is the minimum distance value for two plasmids to be considered connected.
Example of such file:
plasmid_1 plasmid_2 distance

AP024796.1 CP012142.1 0.5

Usage: plasnet type [OPTIONS] COMMUNITIES_PICKLE DISTANCES OUTPUT_DIR
Type the communities of a previously split plasmid graph into subcommunities
or types
Options:
-d, --distance-threshold FLOAT Distance threshold
--small-subcommunity-size-threshold INTEGER
Subcommunities with size up to this
parameter will be joined to neighbouring
larger subcommunities

Type the communities of a previously split plasmid graph into subcommunities or types.
This typing is based on running an asynchronous label propagation algorithm on the previously identified communities.
This algorithm is implemented in the networkx library, and relies on a given distance file.
This distance file should be a more precise and careful distance function than the one used to split the graph into communities.
For example, you could use gene jaccard distance to split the graph and the DCJ-indel distance to type the communities.
See https://github.com/iqbal-lab-org/pling for a tool to compute gene jaccard and DCJ-indel distances.
The first file, describing the communities, is a pickle file (.pkl) that can be found in <split_out_dir>/objects/communities.pkl,
where <split_out_dir> is the output dir of the split command.
The distances file is a tab-separated file with 3 columns: plasmid_1, plasmid_2, distance.
plasmid_1 and plasmid_2 are plasmid names, and distance is a float number.
The distance threshold is the minimum distance value for two plasmids to be considered connected.
Example of such file:
plasmid_1 plasmid_2 distance

Options:
--help Show this message and exit.
Add sample hits annotations on top of previously identified subcommunities or types.
The first file, describing the subcommunities, is a pickle file (.pkl) that can be found in <type_out_dir>/objects/subcommunities.pkl,
where <type_out_dir> is the output dir of the type command.
The sample-hits file is a tab-separated file with 2 columns: sample, plasmid.
These columns are self-explanatory and identifies the plasmids present in each sample.
Example of such file:
sample plasmid
