deRIP2 scans aligned sequences for evidence of un-RIP'd precursor states, allowing for improved RIP-correction across large repeat families in which members are independently RIP'd.

Use deRIP2 to:

• Predict ancestral fungal transposon sequences by correcting for RIP-like mutations (CpA --> TpA) and cytosine deamination (C --> T) events.

• Mask RIP or deamination events as ambiguous bases to remove RIP signal from phylogenetic analyses.

Example usage

For aligned sequences in 'mintest.fa':

• Any column with >= 70% gap positions will not be corrected and a gap inserted in corrected sequence.
• Bases in column must be >= 80% C/T or G/A
• At least 50% bases in a column must be in RIP dinucleotide context (C/T as CpA / TpA) for correction.
• Default: Inherit all remaining uncorrected positions from the least RIP'd sequence.
• Mask all substrate and product motifs from corrected columns as ambiguous bases (i.e. CpA to TpA --> YpA)

Basic usage with masking

derip2 -i tests/data/mintest.fa \
  --max-gaps 0.7 \
  --max-snp-noise 0.2 \
  --min-rip-like 0.5 \
  --mask \
  -d results \
  --prefix derip_output

Output:

• results/derip_output.fasta - Corrected sequence
• results/derip_output_alignment.fasta - Alignment with masked corrections
• results/derip_output_masked_alignment.fasta - Alignment with masked corrections

With vizualization

The --plot option will create a visualization of the alignment with RIP markup. The --plot-rip-type option can be used to specify the type of RIP events to be displayed in the alignment visualization product, substrate, or both.

derip2 -i tests/data/mintest.fa \
  --max-gaps 0.7 \
  --max-snp-noise 0.2 \
  --min-rip-like 0.5 \
  --plot \
  --plot-rip-type both \
  -d results \
  --prefix derip_output

Output:

• results/derip_output.fasta - Corrected sequence
• results/derip_output_masked_alignment.fasta - Alignment with masked corrections
• results/derip_output_visualization.png - Visualization of the alignment with RIP markup

Using maximum GC content for filling

By default uncorrected positions in the output sequence are filled from the sequence with the lowest RIP count. If the --fill-max-gc option is set, remaining positions are filled from the sequence with the highest G/C content sequence instead.

derip2 -i tests/data/mintest.fa \
  --max-gaps 0.7 \
  --max-snp-noise 0.2 \
  --min-rip-like 0.5 \
  --fill-max-gc \
  -d results \
  --prefix derip_gc_filled

Alternatively, the --fill-index option can be used to force selection of alignment row to fill uncorrected positions from by row index number (indexed from 0). Note: This will override the --fill-max-gc option.

Correcting all deamination events

If the --reaminate option is set, all deamination events will be corrected, regardless of RIP context.

--plot-rip-type product is used to highlight the product of RIP events in the visualization. Non-RIP deamination events are also highlighted.

derip2 -i tests/data/mintest.fa \
  --max-gaps 0.7 \
  --reaminate \
  -d results \
  --plot \
  --plot-rip-type product \
  --prefix derip_reaminated

Output:

• results/derip_reaminated.fasta - Corrected sequence using highest GC content sequence for filling
• results/derip_reaminated_alignment.fasta - Alignment with corrected sequence appended
• results/derip_reaminated_vizualization.png - Visualization of the alignment with RIP markup

Algorithm overview

For each column in input alignment:

• Check if number of gapped rows is greater than max gap proportion. If true, then a gap is added to the output sequence.
• Set invariant column values in output sequence.
• If at least X proportion of bases are C/T or G/A (i.e. max-snp-noise = 0.4, then at least 0.6 of positions in column must be C/T or G/A).
• If reaminate option is set then revert T-->C or A-->G.
• If reaminate is not set then check for number of positions in RIP dinucleotide context (C/TpA or TpG/A).
• If proportion of positions in column in RIP-like context => min-rip-like threshold, AND at least one substrate and one product motif (i.e. CpA and TpA) is present, perform RIP correction in output sequence.
• For all remaining positions in output sequence (not filled by gap, reaminate, or RIP-correction) inherit sequence from input sequence with the fewest observed RIP events (or greatest GC content if RIP is not detected or multiple sequences sharing min-RIP count).
