Wochenende - A whole Genome/Metagenome Sequencing Alignment Pipeline

This version has been superseded by an improved Nextflow version available at the following link, with support for more clusters and easier configuration:

https://github.com/MHH-RCUG/nf_wochenende

Warning ! This repository is deprecated for usage outside Hannover Medical School (from June 2022)

Wochenende runs alignment of short reads (eg Illumina) or long reads (eg Oxford Nanopore) against a reference sequence. It is relevant for genomics and metagenomics. Wochenende is simple (python script), portable and is easy to configure with a central config file.

Preprint

Please view and cite the Wochenende preprint at https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.03.18.484377v2

Features

Features include (see programs listed below at the bottom of this page)

  • QC (Fastqc)
  • pre alignment duplicate removal (perldup)
  • pre alignment poor sequence removal (Prinseq - used for single ended reads only)
  • trimming (Trimmomatic or fastp or trim galore or ea-utils)
  • alignment (bwa mem, or minimap2 for short reads, minimap2 or ngmlr for long reads)
  • SAM-> BAM conversion (samtools and sambamba)
  • AlignerBoost Mapping Quality recalculation (in testing April-June 2021)
  • Report % aligned reads (samtools)
  • Output unmapped reads as fastq (samtools) (from v1.4)
  • Post-alignment duplicate removal (Samtools from v1.7.8, Sambamba)
  • Removal reads with x mismatches (bamtools), adjustable from v1.7.3
  • Realignment (Abra2)
  • MD tag marking (Samtools)
  • Normalization (to Bacteria per Human cell, RPMM Reads Per Million sequenced reads per Million reference bases etc, see Reporting below for details)
  • Visualization (chromosome coverage, intended for bacteria in metagenomics projects) (from v1.4)
  • Growth rate estimation. Estimate how fast detected bacteria are growing
  • Rare species prediction (Raspir and MetaG)

Project Haybaler https://github.com/MHH-RCUG/haybaler allows postprocessing of Wochenende results:

  • collation/integration of multiple reports (reporting csv or bam.txt files) using Python Pandas
  • prepare results for heatmaps
  • create heatmaps using multiple different R libraries

Did you know ?

Wochenende means weekend in German. The original developer, Tobias, called the pipeline Wochenende, because you can start it running and go off to enjoy your weekend early (at least, that was the plan!).

Platforms

Wochenende has only been tested (by the authors) on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 and 16.04 64bit. We advise against any attempts on MacOS or Windows. An appropriate conda environment, BASH and Python3.6+ is critical to get things working. We view Wochenende to be stable (master branch) but are still updating the pipeline with new features.

Usage

You can just run the pipeline as a normal Python3 script. However, we also offer a template for the job scheduler SLURM below. This template can also be used with Bash to run the commands at the bottom of the SLURM pipeline while ignoring any SLURM specific parameters.

SLURM usage

  1. See section Installation below if you have not already done so.

  2. Copy get_wochenende.sh to your directory with your FASTQ files (this will set the directory up with required scripts and subfolders for analysis, and for later postprocessing)

cp /path/to/wochenende/get_wochenende.sh .

  1. Check the environment variable used by the get_wochenende.sh script point to your Wochenende directory (now taken care of by setup.sh, see Installation below )

  2. Get Wochenende by running the script

bash get_wochenende.sh

  1. Adjust settings in the script (eg single ended, paired end read, reference sequence)

nano run_Wochenende_SLURM.sh

  1. Run the pipeline using SLURM for all _R1.fastq files in the directory (the "_R1" is important, R1_001.fastq is not allowed)

bash runbatch_sbatch_Wochenende.sh

  1. After completion of the alignment and filtering, run wochenende_postprocess.sh (Requires Haybaler for final integration steps, R for optional automated heatmaps, optionally raspir and/or MetaG for rare species detection).

bash wochenende_postprocess.sh -r -h -s -p -g -m

To simply start all options, type

bash wochenende_postprocess.sh -a

Tutorial

Once you've got the tools installed and tested, you can look at or run the commands in the tutorial in the subdirectory tutorial. https://github.com/MHH-RCUG/Wochenende/blob/master/tutorial/tutorial.txt

Installation

We recommend using Bioconda for installation of the tools used by our pipeline. First install miniconda if you have not already done this. Use mamba instead of conda if you like faster installs (follow the mamba install instructions here https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba ) Required libs are listed in the file env.wochenende.minimal.yml

  1. Clone or download the repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/MHH-RCUG/wochenende.git OR wget https://github.com/MHH-RCUG/wochenende/archive/master.zip

  1. Create a conda environment for the pipeline. You should have first installed miniconda 64-bit Linux.
cd Wochenende
# mamba is faster
mamba env create -f env.wochenende.minimal.yml

# conda is a slower alternative:
conda env create -f env.wochenende.minimal.yml
  1. Install all the other tools.

  2. Download a reference sequence from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1q1btJCxtU15XXqfA-iCyNwgKgQq0SrG4?usp=sharing or create your own.

  3. a) If you want to use bwa mem as aligner (recommended for short reads), you'll need to create an index of that fasta reference sequence as usual, eg. gunzip x.fa && bwa index x.fa x.fa &. Minimap2 works with fasta directly without this step.

  4. Important! Edit the configuration section of config.yaml to set the paths to the tools, tmp directory and reference sequences. Use a code editor to avoid breaking the yaml format.

  5. Edit the paths to Wochenende and optionally haybaler in setup.sh

  6. Run bash setup.sh to configure Wochenende BASH environment variables (for current user and server only)

  7. Log out, and log back in to allow bash to read the environment variables (or source ~/.bashrc )

  8. Activate the conda environment before running the pipeline. conda activate wochenende

  9. Optional: run the tests, see below.

Update conda environment

If there is already a conda environment named wochenende:

conda env update -f env.wochenende.minimal.yml

Wochenende output

Output file meanings

- .calmd. - samtools Calculate MD tags on a BAM file (to enable easily viewing SNPs in some genome browsers like JBrowse).
- .dup. - duplicates excluded by samtools markdup
- .fix. - fixed Paired End reads (PE files only)
- .lc.  - Low-complexity sequences removed by the tool Prinseq
- .mm.  - mismatch filter applied as configured (see run_Wochenende_SLURM.sh file and logs, and or check mismatch distributions in BAM files to check the setting)
- .mq20 - mapping quality cutoff to reads with 20+
- .mq30 - mapping quality cutoff to reads with 30+
- .ndp. - no duplicates, as assessed by the program Perldup on Fastq files
- .ns.  - not-sorted. Sorting follows the .fix step (PE files only)
- .s.   - sorted bam file
- .trm. - trimmed reads
- .unmapped. - Fastq reads which were not mapped to the reference (meta)genome. Currently for single ended reads only. Can be further assessed with other tools

Wochenende produces many output files, many of which are superseded by later output files and can be removed.

Run the postprocessing automatically

This is strongly recommended!

After a successful Wochenende run, make sure you check that all bams have been created and are sized as expected eg ls -lh *.bam

Now start the postprocessing script bash wochenende_postprocess.sh -r -h -s -g -p -m to automatically:

  • run sambamba depth to get read coverage of all configured BAM files in the current directory
  • run the Wochenende plot to create coverage diagrams (-p)
  • run Wochenende reporting to count and normalize all read data (-r)
  • run the Haybaler report integration tool (-h provided it is installed and configured)
  • run raspir (-s)
  • run growth_rate analysis (-g)
  • run MetaG (-m)
  • clean up files

This script requires Haybaler and its dependencies to be installed, and will otherwise fail at some steps.

Normalization

The reporting tool (which requires python v3.6+) reports length, GC content of the sequence, read counts attributed to the species and various normalized read count parameters. Normalizations are for:

a) reads normalized to the idealized length of a bacterial chromosome (normalization to 1 million base pairs)

b) total reads in the sequencing library (normalization to 1 million reads)

c) the above two normalizations combined (RPMM, so Reads Per Million reads per Million base pairs)

d) (bacterial) reads per human cell (only works for metagenomes from human hosts. An estimate of absolute abundance).

See the subfolder reporting in the repository.

conda activate 
conda activate wochenende
python3 basic_reporting.py --input_file tmp_R1.ndp.lc.trm.s.mq30.01mm.dup.bam.txt --reference /lager2/rcug/seqres/metagenref/2016_06_PPKC_metagenome_test_1p_spec_change_cln.fa --sequencer illumina --output_name test

Usage

Usage: basic_reporting.py [OPTIONS]

  This script can be used to report the results of the Wochenende pipeline.
  The .bam.txt file as input is recommended. The .bam file will take longer
  and  generate more information.

  The column reads_per_human_cell is only for metagenomes from human hosts.

  Reports for solid sequencing data are not supported, a special
  normalisation model has to be implemented first.

Options:
  -i, --input_file TEXT   File in .bam.txt or .bam format from the Wochenende
                          pipeline output
  -r, --reference TEXT    File in .fasta format has to be the reference used
                          by the Wochenende pipeline
  -s, --sequencer TEXT    Sequencer technology used only solid and illumina
                          are available, only illumina is supported, default:
                          illumina
  -o, --output_name TEXT  Name for the output file(sample name), default
                          report
  --help                  Show this message and exit.

Running Wochenende_plot manually

Again, automatic generation via wochenende_postprocess.sh is recommended.

Preparing the data from BAM files

First generate the data files for wochenende_plot.py

# in a directory full of *dup.bam files
bash runbatch_sambamba_depth.sh

Then 
bash runbatch_metagen_window_filter.sh

The result should be a series of output files containing the keyword window

Run the actual plotting

Finally, run the actual wochenende_plot.py script or the helper bash script.

bash runbatch_wochenende_plot.sh

wochenende_plot.py usage:

python3 wochenende_plot.py
usage: wochenende_plot.py [-h] [--minMeanCov MINMEANCOV]
                          [--createAllPngs CREATEALLPNGS] [--sclim SCLIM]
                          [--minWindows MINWINDOWS]
                          filename1
wochenende_plot.py: error: the following arguments are required: filename1

Wochenende_plot output

Wochenende_plot creates one subdirectory per input file. These contain png images of taxa which are probabably (high score, largely based on consistent evenness of coverage and high mean coverage) or perhaps present (need manual review). Confident attributions to taxa depends strongly on the number of reads assigned to bacterial taxa (low in airway metagenomes, higher in for example stool samples).

Growth rate estimation

The tools in the subfolder growth_rate estimate the speed at which bacteria are growing. Possible values are no growth, slow, medium and fast. This is based on the observation by Korem et al 2015 link, namely that the ratio of read copy number at the bacterial genomic origin (ori) to the read copy number at the terminus (ter) can be used to infer growing species in a microbiome. Growth rate is determined for bacteria which are attributed sufficient numbers of reads during the alignment process.

Raspir

The external tool raspir has been integrated into the pipeline. Raspir is known to reduce the number of false positives in Wochenende output considerably. It works on BAM files created by Wochenende and creates another estimation of which species are present in the metagenomic reads. You must install raspir into it's own conda environment (pandas is required for example) before it will successfully run.

MetaG

This tool based on Arno Kappe (https://github.com/ArnoKappe/MetaG) uses a different approach to detimine, whether a species is existing or not. It uses position data found in growth_rate to calculate the distribution of reads. MetaG needs Java.

Known bugs

RPMM bug: fixed in v1.7.8. In October 2020 a bug in the Wochenende_reporting script was found which calculated the RPMM column incorrectly. Please recalculate your reporting statistics if you use this feature. Thanks to @sannareddyk at the MHH and @twehrbein at Leibniz University Hannover.

Running software tests

These tests test the software and installation on your server with known read set and database. If all is working correctly, then an output message should be created that these tests passed.

From the Wochenende directory

Using SLURM:
sbatch run_Wochenende_SLURM.sh testdb/reads_R1.fastq
Or without a scheduler:
python3 run_Wochenende.py --metagenome testdb --threads 4 --testWochenende --aligner bwamem --mq30 --remove_mismatching --readType SE --debug --force_restart testdb/reads_R1.fastq

You should be able to see in the SLURM outfile or standard out if the tests passed or not. Failed tests may be due to program versions or pipeline configuration issues.

General usage

Warning, this usage is just an example and might be slightly out of date. 

Run this with: 
python3 run_Wochenende.py
