Clara Genomics Analysis

Overview

Clara Genomics Analysis is a GPU-accelerated library for biological sequence analysis. This section provides a brief overview of the different components of ClaraGenomicsAnalysis. For more detailed API documentation please refer to the documentation.

cudapoa

The cudapoa package provides a GPU-accelerated implementation of the Partial Order Alignment algorithm. It is heavily influenced by SPOA and in many cases can be considered a GPU-accelerated replacement. Features include:

Generation of consensus sequences
Generation of multi-sequence alignments (MSAs)

cudaaligner

The cudaaligner package provides GPU-accelerated global alignment.

Clone Clara Genomics Analysis

git clone --recursive git@github.com:clara-genomics/ClaraGenomicsAnalysis.git

System Requirements

Minimum requirements -

Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 18.04
CUDA 9.0+
gcc/g++ 5.4.0+
Python 3.6.7+

Build Clara Genomics Analysis

To build Clara Genomics Analysis -

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install
make -j install

Enable Unit Tests

To enable unit tests, add -Dcga_enable_tests=ON to the cmake command in the build step.

This builds GTest based unit tests for all applicable modules, and installs them under ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/tests. These tests are standalone binaries and can be executed directly. e.g.

cd $INSTALL_DIR
./tests/cudapoatests

Enable Benchmarks

To enable benchmarks, add -Dcga_enable_benchmarks=ON to the cmake command in the build step.

This builds Google Benchmark based microbenchmarks for applicable modules. The built benchmarks are installed under ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/benchmarks/<module> and can be run directly.

e.g.

#INSTALL_DIR/benchmarks/cudapoa/multibatch

A description of each of the benchmarks is present in a README under the module's benchmark folder.

Enable Doc Generation

To enable document generation for Clara Genomics Analysis, please install Doxygen on your system. Once Doxygen has been installed, run the following to build documents.

make docs

Code Formatting

C++ / CUDA

Clara Genomics Analysis makes use of clang-format to format it's source and header files. To make use of auto-formatting, clang-format would have to be installed from the LLVM package (for latest builds, best to refer to http://releases.llvm.org/download.html).

Once clang-format has been installed, make sure the binary is in your path.

To add a folder to the auto-formatting list, use the macro cga_enable_auto_formatting(FOLDER). This will add all cpp source/header files to the formatting list.

To auto-format, run the following in your build directory.

make format

To check if files are correct formatted, run the following in your build directory.

make check-format

Python

Clara Genomics Analysis follows the PEP-8 style guidelines for all its Python code. The automated CI system for Clara Genomics Analysis run flake8 to check the style.

To run style check manually, simply run the following from the top level folder.

flake8 pyclaragenomics/
