CovEst
Tool that estimates coverage (and genome size) of dna sequence from reads.
Requirements
python 3.4+
python3-dev
gcc
Installation
We suggest to install CovEst in python3 virtual environment.
pip install covest
For development:
pip install -e . from the project directory
Usage
type covest --help for the usage.
Basic Usage:
covest histogram -m model -k K -r read_length
You can specify the read file using -s reads.fa parameter for more precise genome size computation.
default K is 21
default read length is 100
currently, the supported models are:
basic: for simple genomes without repeats
repeat: for genomes with repetitive sequences
Input Histogram Specification:
The input histogram can be generated from the read data using jellyfish.
jellyfish count -m K -C reads.fa -o table.jf
jellyfish histo table.jf -o reads.hist
The format of the histogram is just list of lines. Each lines contains an index and value separated by space.
Output Specification:
CovEst outputs it’s results in simple subset of YAML format for best human readability and possibility of machine processing.
The output are lines containing key: value. The most important keys are coverage and genome_size (or genome_size_reads if reads size was specified).
Other included tools
geset.py tool for estimation genome size from reads size and known coverage
reads_size.py tool for computation of the total reads size
kmer_hist.py custom khmer histogram computation, it is much slower than other tools, so use it only if you have no other option.
read_sampler.py script for subsampling reads, useful if you have very high coverage data and want to make it smaller.
fasta_length.py get total length of all sequences in fasta file.
