ngsutils - Tools for next-gen sequencing analysis

Usage

Run the bamutils, bedutils, fastqutils, or gtfutils scripts. These are the main driver scripts that setup the appropriate environment (loading pysam) and run the requested command.

For ease of use, it is recommended that you add bamutils, bedutils, fastqutils, and gtfutils to your $PATH.

Running bamutils without any arguments will return a list of commands available. Running bamutils command will give you the parameters required for that command (or bedutils, etc...)

General usage format:

bamutils command {options} filename

bedutils command {options} filename

fastqutils command {options} filename

gtfutils command {options} filename

bamutils

Scripts for manipulating and analyzing BAM files

DNA

  • basecall - Base caller
  • minorallele - Calls minor alleles

RNA

  • cims - Finds regions of unusual deletions (CLIP-Seq)
  • rpkm - Calculates RPKM/counts for genes/regions/repeats (Note: gene counts require a RefIso file - see sequtils below)

General

  • convertregion - Converts region mapping to genomic mapping
  • expressed - Finds regions expressed in a BAM file
  • extract - Extract reads from specific regions (BED)
  • filter - Removes reads from a BAM file based on criteria
  • merge - Merge multiple BAM files together
  • reads - Extract the names of reads and their positions
  • split - Splits a BAM file into smaller pieces
  • stats - Calculates simple stats for a BAM file

Conversions

  • tobed - Convert reads to BED6
  • tobedgraph - Convert reads to BedGraph
  • tofasta - Convert reads to FASTA
  • tofastq - Convert reads to FASTQ

bedutils

Scripts for manipulating and creating BED files

General

  • extend - Extends BED regions (3' end)
  • reduce - Merges overlapping BED regions
  • refcount - Given a number of BED files, calculate the number of samples that overlap regions in a reference BED file
  • sort - Sorts a BED file (in place)
  • stats - Calculates simple stats for a BED file

Conversions

  • fromprimers - Converts a list of PCR primer pairs to BED regions
  • tobedgraph - BED to BedGraph
  • tofasta - Extract BED regions from a reference FASTA file

fastqutils

Scripts for manipulating and creating FASTQ files

General

  • convertqual - Convert a FASTQ file's quality values from Illumina to Sanger scale
  • merge - Merge paired FASTQ files into one file
  • names - Extract the read names from a FASTQ file
  • split - Split one FASTQ file into N number of smaller files
  • stats - Calculates simple stats for a FASTQ file
  • trim - Remove 5' and 3' linkers from each sequence (uses SW alignment)
  • truncate - Truncate the sequence/qual for all reads to a specific length

Conversions

  • fromfasta - Converts FASTA files (with .qual) to FASTQ (basespace or colorspace)
  • fromqseq - Converts Illumina qseq (or export/sorted) files to FASTQ format
  • tofasta - Converts FASTQ to FASTA

gtfutils

Scripts for assembling the gene model used in bedutils and bamutils scripts. The gene model is similar to the UCSC refFlat or KnownGene tab-delimited format, except that it adds one column to the beginning indicating isoforms. For some organisms this column can be redundant. But for others, it is a required step to ensure annotated isoforms are on the same chromosome and overlap. We are calling this format RefIso. RefIso files can be compiled from UCSC refFlat or KnownGene files. If needed, these can be automatically downloaded for each organism. It is possible that this format will be deprecated in the future.

GTF extra annotations

  • add_isoform - Appends isoform annotation from UCSC isoforms file"
  • add_reflink - Appends isoform/name annotation from RefSeq/refLink"
  • add_xref - Appends name annotation from UCSC Xref file"

General

  • genesize - Extract the sizes of genes from the GTF model (genomic and transcript lengths)
  • junctions - Create a library of potential splice-junctions based upon the GTF model

Conversions

  • tobed - Converts a GFF/GTF model to BED format"

Installing

Checkout the code and run make. This will create a virtualenv folder (env) and install the needed libraries. The only libraries that are mandatory are pysam and cython. Cython requires that the Python headers be present on the system. For a linux system this can be achieved by installing 'python-devel' or similar.

If you need read-only access use: git clone git://github.com/ngsutils/ngsutils.git

Requires

  • Python 2.6+ (including development packages)
  • virtualenv

Will install

  • pysam
  • Cython

Recommended

  • samtools
  • tabix
