Conda recipe

Would it be possible to wrap the tool into conda package and upload it to bioconda? I am working on a rnafusion pipeline which consists of multiple tools for fusion detection. It would be super nice to implement your tool to the stack ๐ŸŽ‰

Hi Martin,

After someone made me aware of your project yesterday, I was going to get in touch with you anyway to discuss the possibility/technical details of integrating Arriba into your pipeline. You found me faster. :-)

Sure, I can prepare a bioconda package. If it suits your time frame, I will distribute it with the next stable release of Arriba, which I plan to release in a few weeks. I'll keep you updated.

Arriba's workflow is very similar to that of STAR-Fusion. I imagine we can make use of a lot of copy-pasta, which should facilitate the integration.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian, that sounds perfect. I am working on few changes now anyway so just let me know when you are ready ๐Ÿ‘. I would like to include the tool in version 1.2 which will be maybe in a month or 2.
Look forward ๐ŸŽ‰

I managed to port the current version of Arriba (1.0.1) to bioconda. You should now be able to install it. Version 1.1.0 is coming soon.

Three executables are installed:

  • arriba (the core executable)
  • run_arriba.sh (a simplistic script to run Arriba starting with FastQ files)
  • draw_fusions.R (an R script to generate figures from the fusion predictions)

In addition, database files (blacklists, protein domains, cytobands, ...) are installed to $CONDA_PREFIX/var/lib/arriba/. You can find more information about all of these in the manual. You can let the content of run_arriba.sh be a guide to you on how to call the tool and integrate it into your pipeline. Let me know, if you need help.

That sounds perfect. I will probably wait for the 1.1.0 version so I can finish the report in the meantime. I've decided to have a separate repository for the report tool together with a scoring function of the fusions. You can see it here. Look forward to implement the tool to the stack ๐Ÿ‘

FYI: Version 1.1.0 is out, along with instructions on how to install it using Bioconda: https://arriba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart/#installation-using-bioconda

/+ 1 good job.

Hey @suhrig and @xiucz. I am trying to install arriba with conda but I always get stuck on Solving environment: ...working.... Have you encountered similar issues?

I just tried it with the most recent Miniconda and it worked right away. But I can confirm this issue in general with conda. I have seen this with a number of packages. sigh

One of these might help:

  • explicitly specify the version of Arriba you want to install (conda install ... arriba=1.1.0)
  • only use the required channels and skip all other activated channels (conda install --override-channels -c conda-forge -c bioconda -c defaults arriba=1.1.0)
  • update conda to the latest version

Thanks, finally managed to install it. I had a wrong order of the channels.
