sequana-lora 1.0.0

Run assembler (Canu, Flye, Hifiasm) on a set of long read files

This is is the lora pipeline from the Sequana project

Overview:

Run assembler (Canu, flye, hifiasm) on a set of long read files

Input:

A set of BAM files from Pacbio sequencers, or FastQ files for Nanopore sequencers.

Output:

HTML reports with assemblies for each sample.

Status:

prod

Installation

Install Lora with pip command:

pip install sequana-lora

To update your installed version, type:

pip install sequana-lora --upgrade

Usage

sequana_lora --help
sequana_lora --input-directory DATAPATH --assembler flye

This creates a directory with the pipeline and configuration file. You will then need to execute the pipeline:

cd lora
sh lora.sh  # for a local run

This launch a snakemake pipeline. If you are familiar with snakemake, you can retrieve the pipeline itself and its configuration files and then execute the pipeline yourself with specific parameters:

snakemake -s lora.rules --cores 4 --stats stats.txt

Or use sequanix interface.

Example 1 Pacbio subreads

sequana_lora --input-directory . --pacbio
cd lora

Do you need to build CCS ?

Look at the config file and the CCS section. Check that the parameters are as expected. If you wish to build so-called HiFi reads, set the min-passes to 10 and min-rq to 0.99.

do you have a blast DB

You may also edit the config file to set blast to true (you must handle the blast databases yourself)

Do you need an annotation from your contigs?

Set prokka to True (for bacterial annotation)

Want to check the core genome?

You may set busco to true to detect the core genome (you must provide a path to a valid lineage).

Requirements

This pipelines requires the following executable(s):

• canu

• hifiasm

• flye

• blastn

• busco

• bwa

• ccs

• circlator

• checkm

• medaka

• minimap2

• pbindex

• polypolish

• prokka

• samtools

• sequana

Details

This pipeline runs lora in parallel on the input fastq files (paired or not). A brief sequana summary report is also produced.

In practice, you may start from BAM files generated by Pacbio sequencers or Fastq files, or CCS files. CCS files can be built by the pipeline. Then, an assembler is used to build the draft assemblies (Canu, hifiasm, etc). From the draft, circularisation may be applied to generate circularised genome (useful for bacterial genomes). Finally, each contig is blasted and quality checks are performed using Busco, quast, etc.

Rules and configuration details

Here is the latest documented configuration file to be used with the pipeline. Each rule used in the pipeline may have a section in the configuration file.

Changelog

Version	Description
1.0.0	uniformised extension with other pipelines. fix regression on schema file update sequana container to v0.16.5 add unicyler apptainer add checkm module to help users chosing correct marker and name. replaces –pacbio and –nanopore with –data-type. pacbio is now decompose into 3 sub-categories: pacbio-raw, pacbio-hifi and pacbio-corr add bandage if assembly graph is available fixed hifiasm container to use newest version improved report html make genome-size compulsary add fastp as preprocessing tool remove presets in favor of click options CCS defaults to hifi. pacbio presets in config set to pacbio-hifi blast removes from default. users must set blast DB themselves. busco lineage downloaded from the web. CANU preset changes: pacbio–>pacbio-hifi CANU-correction preset changes: pacbio–>pacbio-hifi FLYE preset changes: pacbio-raw–>pacbio-hifi
