A bioinformatics pipeline for analysing short read Illumina data microbiological public health.
Project description
Bohra
Bohra has a new look!
- A new preview mode for 'sneak peak' at your dataset.
rerun
has been deprecated. If you would like to rerun a job etc; use the run command.- If rerunning a job, a new --keep flag to archive previous report files.
- Built in filtering features to automatically remove isolates with low average coverage or alignment to your reference.
- Provide a standardised config file for commonly used settings.
Bohra is microbial genomics pipeline, designed predominantly for use in public health, but may also be useful in research settings. The pipeline takes as input a tab-delimited file with the isolate IDs followed by the path to READ1 and READ2, a reference for alignment and a unique identifier, where reads are illumina reads (other platforms are not supported at this stage).
Motivation
Bohra was inspired by Nullarbor (https://github.com/tseemann/nullarbor) to be used in public health microbiology labs for analysis of short reads from microbiological samples. The pipeline is written in Snakemake.
Etymology
Bohra the name of an exinct species of tree kangaroo that lived on the nullarbor. The name was chosen to reflect the fact that it will be predominantly used to build trees, relies on snippy (named for a very famous kangaroo) and was inspired by nullarbor.
Pipeline
Bohra takes raw sequencing reads and produces a standalone html file for simple distribution of reports.
Bohra can be run in four modes
- Preview (DEFAULT)
- Calculate mash-distances
- Build a mash-tree
- SNPs, species ID and Assembly based tools (MLST, Resistome and annotation)
- Clean reads
- Call variants
- Generate a phylogenetic tree
- Assemble
- Species identification
- MLST
- Resistome
- Annotate
- SNPs, Phylogeny, PanGenome and Typing and Species Identification
- Clean reads
- Call variants
- Generate a phylogenetic tree
- Assemble
- Species identification
- MLST
- Resistome
- Annotate
- Pan Genome
Installation
Bohra requires >=python3.7
Conda (Highly recomended)
Installing bohra with conda will ensure that all dependencies are present. See below for instructions on how to configure the databases for kraken2.
Set up conda - documentation for conda installation can be found here
conda config --add channels defaults
conda config --add channels bioconda
conda config --add channels conda-forge
It is recomended that you set up a bohra
environment
conda create -n <bohra_env_name> bohra
To use bohra
conda activate <bohra_env_name>
PyPi
If installing with pip
you will need to ensure other dependencies are also installed.
pip3 install bohra
- snakemake
- Snippy
- Shovill (skesa and spades.py)
- Roary
- Prokka
- kraken2
- abritamr
- mlst
- iqtree
- seqtk
- snp-dists
- mash
Check installation
Check that all dependencies are installed.

IMPORTANT
In addition to installing kraken ensure that you have a kraken2 database. Minikraken can obtained as follows
wget ftp://ftp.ccb.jhu.edu/pub/data/kraken2_dbs/minikraken2_v2_8GB_201904_UPDATE.tgz
tar -C $HOME -zxvf minikraken2_v2_8GB_201904_UPDATE.tgz
This will download and unzip the kraken2 DB. Other kraken2 DB are also available, you can find more information here
Once you have the DB downloaded you will have to create an environment variable called KRAKEN2_DEFAULT_DB
. This can be done by adding the following to your $HOME/.bashrc
export KRAKEN_DEFAULT_DB=$HOME/minikraken2_v2_8GB_201904_UPDATE

Using a config file
Arguments that start with '--' (eg. --input_file) can also be set in a config file. Please put your config file in the working directory and name it 'bohra.conf' Config file syntax allows: key=value, flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c] (for details, see syntax at https://goo.gl/R74nmi). If an arg is specified in more than one place, then commandline values override environment variables which override config file values which override defaults.
Preview mode
Bohra's preview mode (default mode) uses mash
to calculate mash distances between isolates and generate a mash tree to rapidly identify outliers in your dataset or identify clades of interest for a more focused analysis.
Set up
Input file
The input file needs to be a tab-delimited file with three columns IsolateID, path to R1 and path to R2.
Isolate-ID /path/to/reads/R1.fq.gz /path/to/reads/R2.fq.gz
Reference
The choice of reference is important for the accuracy of SNP detection and therefore the investigation of genomic relatedness. Appropriate references should be chosen following the guidelines below.
- A closed reference from the same ST (where applicable) or a gold-standard reference (as may be used in M. tuberculosis).
- A pacbio or nanopore assembly from MDU that is of the same type as the query dataset
- A high quality de novo assembly of either an isolate in the dataset or an isolate of the same ST or type.
Mask
Phage masking is important for to prevent the inflation of SNPs that can be introduced by horizontal transfer as opposed to vertical transfer. For closed genomes or those that are publicly available phaster-query.pl
can be used to identify regions for masking. If a denovo assembly is used the website phaster.ca
can be used. Regions for masking should be provided in .bed
format.
Run
Minimal command to run in preview mode
To use alternative modes, use -p
with one of the following arguments.
sa
phylogeny and assembly associated tools
all
all functions (sa
plus pan-genome analysis)
bohra run -r path/to/reference -i path/to/inputfile -j unique_id -m path/to/maskfile (optional)
Running Bohra in a HPC environment
Bohra can be run in a HPC environment (currently only sbatch and qsub are supported). To do this some knowledge and experience in such environments is assumed. You will need to provide a file called cluster.json
. This file will contain rule specifc and default settings for running the pipeline. An template is shown below (it is recommended that you use this template, settings have been established using a slurm queueing system), in addition you can see further documentation here.
example command
bohra run -r <reference> -i <input_tab> -j <jobname> --cluster --json cluster.json --queue sbatch
bohra rerun --cluster --queue sbatch
