gisaidsub explained

The way the script works is that you first need a directory of all the fasta consensus files in one directory.

You then need an existing sheet of metadata, usually this is provided to you.

You then need to make two yaml files, that tell the script rules on what fields map to what. First field, is the name that GISAID wants in its table, the second is what its call in your sheet. e.g.

covv_location: Location
covv_collection_date: Date_of_Collection
covv_gender: Gender
covv_patient_age: Age
sample_name: Sample

Then you want to have another yaml file of "globals", values that apply to every record, such as.

sample_prefix: MYSample-
submitter: <Your_gisiad_id>
covv_seq_technology: Illumina
covv_orig_lab: <originating lab>
covv_orig_lab_addr: <originating lab address>
covv_subm_lab: <submitting lab>
covv_subm_lab_addr: <submitting lab address> 
covv_authors: <authors>
country: <country collection>
continent: <continent>

You can add in as many of the standard gisaid fields. See gisaidschema or GISAID documentation for what those fields could be.

You then run gisaidhelper:

python gisaidsub.py metadata_they_gave.csv  all_fasta_dir --outputdir my_output  --field_mapping my_first_file.yaml --global_values something_global.yaml  

The script then:

• takes you csv input swaps the field names as per the mapping yaml and add in the global info.
• then it validates it with the gisaidscheme.py and produces a csv for submission.
• It also goes to the fasta dir and merges the sequences into a single file (this is what gisaid wants)
• and renames each sequence so it is consistent with the metadata. i.e. changes it to hcov-19/X/X/2021
