ONT adaptive sampling

Project description

If you are anything like us (Matt), reading a README is the last thing you do when running code. PLEASE DON'T DO THAT FOR READFISH. This will effect changes to your sequencing and - if you use it incorrectly - cost you money. We have added a list of GOTCHAs at the end of this README. We have almost certainly missed some... so - if something goes wrong, let us know so we can add you to the GOTCHA hall of fame!

[!NOTE]
We also have more detailed documentation for your perusal at https://looselab.github.io/readfish

[!NOTE]
Now also see our cool FAQ.

readfish is a Python package that integrates with the Read Until API.

The Read Until API provides a mechanism for an application to connect to a MinKNOW server to obtain read data in real-time. The data can be analysed in the way most fit for purpose, and a return call can be made to the server to unblock the read in progress and so direct sequencing capacity towards reads of interest.

This implementation of readfish requires Guppy version >= 6.0.0 and MinKNOW version core >= 5.0.0 . It will not work on earlier versions.

The code here has been tested with Guppy in GPU mode using GridION Mk1 and NVIDIA RTX2080 on live sequencing runs and an NVIDIA GTX1080 using playback on a simulated run (see below for how to test this). This code is run at your own risk as it DOES affect sequencing output. You are strongly advised to test your setup prior to running (see below for example tests).

Supported Sequencing Platforms

The following platforms are supported:

  • PromethION Big Boy
  • P2Solo Smol Big Boy
  • GridION Box
  • MinION Smol Boy

[!WARNING] PromethION support is currently only available using the Mappy-rs plugin only. See here for more information.

Supported OS's

The following OSs are supported:

  • Linux yay
  • MacOS boo (Apple Silicon, Only with Dorado)

[!NOTE]
Note - MacOS supports is on MinKNOW 5.7 and greater using Dorado basecaller on Apple Silicon devices only.

TOML File

For information on the TOML files see TOML.md. There are several example TOMLS, with comments explaining what each field does, as well as the overall purpose of the TOML file here .

Testing

To test readfish on your configuration we recommend first running a playback experiment to test unblock speed and then selection.

The following steps should all happen with a configuration (test) flow cell inserted into the target device. A simulated device can also be created within MinKNOW, following these instructions. This assumes that you are runnning MinKNOW locally, using default ports. If this is not the case a developer API token is required on the commands as well, as well as setting the correct port.

If no test flow cell is available, a simulated device can be created within MinKNOW, following the below instructions.

Adding a simulated position for testing

  1. Linux

    In the readfish virtual environment we created earlier:

    • See help
    python -m minknow_api.examples.manage_simulated_devices --help
    
    • Add Minion position
    python -m minknow_api.examples.manage_simulated_devices --add MS00000
    
    • Add PromethION position
    python -m minknow_api.examples.manage_simulated_devices --prom --add S0
    
  2. Mac

    In the readfish virtual environment we created earlier:

    • See help
    python -m minknow_api.examples.manage_simulated_devices --help
    
    • Add Minion position
    python -m minknow_api.examples.manage_simulated_devices --add MS00000
    
    • Add PromethION position
    python -m minknow_api.examples.manage_simulated_devices --prom --add S0
    

As a back up it is possible to restart MinKNOW with a simulated device. This is done as follows:

  1. Stop minknow

    On Linux:

    cd /opt/ont/minknow/bin
    sudo systemctl stop minknow
    
  2. Start MinKNOW with a simulated device

    On Linux

    sudo ./mk_manager_svc -c /opt/ont/minknow/conf --simulated-minion-devices=1 &
    

You may need to add the host 127.0.0.1 in the MinKNOW UI.

Configuring bulk FAST5 file Playback

Download an open access bulk FAST5 file, either R9.4.1 or R10 (5khz). This file is 21Gb so make sure you have sufficient space.

Previously to set up Playback using a pre-recorded bulk FAST5 file, it was necessary to edit the sequencing configuration file that MinKNOW uses. This is currently no longer the case. The "old method" steps are left after this section for reference only or if the direct playback from a bulk file option is removed in future.

To start sequencing using playback, simply begin setting up the run in the MinKNOW UI as you would usually. Under Run Options you can select Simulated Playback and browse to the downloaded Bulk Fast5 file.

Run Options Screenshot

[!NOTE]
Note - The below instructions, whilst they will still work, are no longer required. They are left here for reference only. As of Minknow 5.7, it is possible to select a bulk FAST5 file for playback in the MinKNOW UI.

Old method Configuring bulk FAST5 file Playback

To setup a simulation the sequencing configuration file that MinKNOW uses must be edited. Steps:
  1. Download an open access bulkfile - either R9.4.1 or R10 (5khz). These files are aproximately 21Gb so make sure you have plenty of space. The files are from NA12878 sequencing data using either R9.4.1 or R10.4 pores. Data is not barcoded and the libraries were ligation preps from DNA extracted from cell lines.

  2. Copy a sequencing TOML file to the user_scripts folder:

    On Mac if your MinKNOW output directory is the default:

    mkdir -p /Library/MinKNOW/data/user_scripts/simulations
    cp /Applications/MinKNOW.app/Contents/Resources/conf/package/sequencing/sequencing_MIN106_DNA.toml /Library/MinKNOW/data/user_scripts/simulations/sequencing_MIN106_DNA_sim.toml
    

    On Linux:

    sudo mkdir -p /opt/ont/minknow/conf/package/sequencing/simulations
    cp /opt/ont/minknow/conf/package/sequencing/sequencing_MIN106_DNA.toml /opt/ont/minknow/conf/package/sequencing/simulations/sequencing_MIN106_DNA_sim.toml
    
  3. Edit the copied file to add the following line under the line that reads "[custom_settings]":

    simulation = "/full/path/to/your_bulk.FAST5"
    

    Change the text between the quotes to point to your downloaded bulk FAST5 file.

  4. Optional, If running GUPPY in GPU mode, set the parameter break_reads_after_seconds = 1.0 to break_reads_after_seconds = 0.4. This results in a smaller read chunk. For R10.4 this is not required but can be tried. For adaptive sampling on PromethION, this should be left at 1 second.

  5. In the MinKNOW GUI, right click on a sequencing position and select Reload Scripts. Your version of MinKNOW will now playback the bulkfile rather than live sequencing.

  6. Start a sequencing run as you would normally, selecting the corresponding flow cell type to the edited script (here FLO-MIN106) as the flow cell type.

Whichever instructions you followed, the run should start and immediately begin a mux scan. Let it run for around five minutes after which your read length histogram should look as below: Control Image Screenshot

Testing unblock response

Now we shall test unblocking by running readfish unblock-all which will simply eject every single read on the flow cell.

  1. To do this run:
    readfish unblock-all --device <YOUR_DEVICE_ID> --experiment-name "Testing readfish Unblock All"
    
  2. Leave the run for a further 5 minutes and observe the read length histogram. If unblocks are happening correctly you will see something like the below: Unblock All Screenshot A closeup of the unblock peak shows reads being unblocked quickly: Closeup Unblock Image

If you are happy with the unblock response, move on to testing base-calling.

Note: The plots here are generated from running readfish unblock-all on an Apple Silicon laptop. The unblock response may be faster on a GPU server.

Testing base-calling and mapping

To test selective sequencing you must have access to a guppy basecall server (>=6.0.0)

and a readfish TOML configuration file.

NOTE: guppy and dorado are used here interchangeably as the basecall server. Dorado is gradually replacing guppy. All readfish code is compatible with Guppy >=6.0.0 and dorado >=0.4.0

  1. First make a local copy of the example TOML file:

    curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LooseLab/readfish/master/docs/_static/example_tomls/human_chr_selection.toml
    
  2. If on PromethION, edit the mapper_settings.mappy section to read:

    [mapper_settings.mappy-rs]
    
  3. Modify the fn_idx_in field in the file to be the full path to a minimap2 index of the human genome.

  4. Modify the targets fields for each condition to reflect the naming convention used in your index. This is the sequence name only, up to but not including any whitespace. e.g. >chr1 human chromosome 1 would become chr1. If these names do not match, then target matching will fail.

We can now validate this TOML file to see if it will be loaded correctly.

readfish validate human_chr_selection.toml

Errors with the configuration will be written to the terminal along with a text description of the conditions for the experiment as below.

WARNING
Note: if these times are longer than the number of seconds specified in the break read chunk in the sequencing TOML, you will have performance issues. Contact us via github issues for support.

This log is a little dense at first. Moving from left to right, we have:

[Date Time] [Logger Name] [Batch Stats]; [Average Batch Stats]; [Count commands sent]; [Slow Batch Info]

Using the provided log as an example:

On 2023-10-05 at 15:25:56,989, the Readfish targets command logged a batch of read signal:

- It saw 60 reads in the current batch.
- The batch took 0.2123 seconds.
- On average, batches are 103 reads, which are processed in 0.2418 seconds.
- Since the start, 0 reads were sequenced, 1,442 reads were unblocked, and 0 reads were asked to proceed.
- Out of 14 total batches processed, 0 were considered slow (took more than 1 second).

The important thing to note here is that the average batch time is less than the break read chunk time in the sequencing TOML. The slow batch section will show the number of batches that were slower than break reads. If the average is lower, or the slow batch count is high, you will have performance issues. Contact us via github issues for support.

If you are happy with the speed of mapping, move on to testing a selection.

Testing expected results from a selection experiment.

The only way to test readfish on a playback run is to look at changes in read length for rejected vs accepted reads. To do this:

  1. Start a fresh simulation run using the bulkfile provided above.
  2. Restart the readfish command (as above):
    readfish targets --toml <PATH_TO_TOML> --device <YOUR_DEVICE_ID> --log-file test.log --experiment-name human_select_test
    
  3. Allow the run to proceed for at least 15 minutes (making sure you are writing out read data!).
  4. After 15 minutes it should look something like this: Playback Unblock Image If one zooms in on the unblock peak: Closeup Playback Unblock Image And if one zooms to exclude the unblock peak: Closeup Playback On Target Image NOTE: These simulations are also run on Apple Silicon - GPU platform performance may vary - please contact us via github issues for support.

Analysing results with readfish stats

Once a run is complete, it can be analysed with the readfish stats command.

HTML file output is optional.

readfish stats --toml <path/to/toml/file.toml> --fastq-directory  <path/to/run/folder> --html <filename>

Readfish stats will use the initial experiment configuration to analyse the final sequence data and output a formatted table to the screen. The table is broken into two sections. For clarity these are shown individually below.

In the first table, the data is summarised by condition as defined in the TOML file. In this example we have a single Region - "hum_test". The total number of reads is shown, along with the number of alignments broken down into On-Target and Off-Target. In addition, we show yield, median read length and a summary of the number of targets.

The lower portion of the table shows the data broken down by contig in the reference (and so can be very long if using a complex reference!). Again data are broken down by On and Off target. Read counts, yield, median and N50 read lengths are presented. Finally we estimate the proportion of reads on target and an estimate of coverage.

In this experiment, we were targeting chromosomes 20 and 21. As this is a playback run there is no effect on yield but you can see a clear effect on read length. The read length N50 and Median is higher for chromosomes 20 and 21 as expected. If running on more performant systems, the anticipated difference would be higher.

Common Gotcha's

These may or may not (!) be mistakes we have made already...

  1. If the previous run has not fully completed - i.e is still base-calling or processing raw data,you may connect to the wrong instance and see nothing happening. Always check the previous run has finished completely.
  2. If you have forgotten to remove your simulation line from your sequencing toml you will forever be trapped in an inception like resequencing of old data... Don't do this!
  3. If base-calling doesn't seem to be working check:
    • Check your base-calling server is running.
    • Check the ip of your server is correct.
    • Check the port of your server is correct.
  4. If you are expecting reads to unblock but they do not - check that you have set control=false in your readfish toml file. control=true will prevent any unblocks but does otherwise run the full analysis pipeline.
  5. Oh no - every single read is being unblocked - I have nothing on target!
    • Double check your reference file is in the correct location.
    • Double check your targets exist in that reference file.
    • Double check your targets are correctly formatted with contig name matching the record names in your reference (Exclude description - i.e the contig name up to the first whitespace).
  6. Where has my reference gone? If you are using a _live TOML file - e.g running iter_align or iter_cent, the previous reference MMI file is deleted when a new one is added. This obviously saves on disk space use(!) but can lead to unfortunate side effects - i.e you delete your MMI file. These can of course be recreated but user beware.

Happy readfish-ing!
