RiboDetector
is a software developed to accurately yet rapidly detect and remove rRNA sequences from metagenomeic, metatranscriptomic, and ncRNA sequencing data. It was developed based on LSTMs and optimized for both GPU and CPU usage to achieve a 10 times on CPU and 50 times on a consumer GPU faster runtime compared to the current state-of-the-art software. Moreover, it is very accurate, with ~10 times fewer false classifications. Finally, it has a low level of bias towards any GO functional groups.
To be able to use RiboDetector
, all you need to do is to install Python v3.8
(make sure you have version 3.8
because 3.7
cannot serialize a string larger than 4GiB) with conda
:
conda create -n ribodetector python=3.8
conda activate ribodetector
To install pytorch
compatible with your CUDA version, please fellow this instruction:
https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/. Our code was tested with pytorch v1.7
and v1.7.1
.
pip install ribodetector
ribodetector -t 20 \
-l 100 \
-i inputs/reads.1.fq.gz inputs/reads.2.fq.gz \
-m 10 \
-e rrna \
--chunk_size 256 \
-o outputs/reads.nonrrna.{1,2}.fq.gz
The command lind above excutes ribodetector for paired-end reads with length 100 using GPU and 20 CPU cores
usage: ribodetector [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-d DEVICEID] -l LEN -i [INPUT [INPUT ...]]
-o [OUTPUT [OUTPUT ...]] [-r [RRNA [RRNA ...]]] [-e {rrna,norrna,both,none}]
[-t THREADS] [-m MEMORY] [--chunk_size CHUNK_SIZE] [-v]
rRNA sequence detector
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
Path of config file
-d DEVICEID, --deviceid DEVICEID
Indices of GPUs to enable. Quotated comma-separated device ID
numbers. (default: all)
-l LEN, --len LEN Sequencing read length, should be not smaller than 50.
-i [INPUT [INPUT ...]], --input [INPUT [INPUT ...]]
Path of input sequence files (fasta and fastq), the second
file will be considered as second end if two files given.
-o [OUTPUT [OUTPUT ...]], --output [OUTPUT [OUTPUT ...]]
Path of the output sequence files after rRNAs removal (same
number of files as input). (Note: 2 times slower to write gz
files)
-r [RRNA [RRNA ...]], --rrna [RRNA [RRNA ...]]
Path of the output sequence file of detected rRNAs (same
number of files as input)
-e {rrna,norrna,both,none}, --ensure {rrna,norrna,both,none}
Only output certain sequences with high confidence
norrna: output non-rRNAs with high confidence, remove as many
rRNAs as possible;
rrna: vice versa, output rRNAs with high confidence;
both: both non-rRNA and rRNA prediction with high confidence;
none: give label based on the mean probability of read pair.
(Only applicable for paired end reads, discard the read
pair when their predicitons are discordant)
-t THREADS, --threads THREADS
number of threads to use. (default: 10)
-m MEMORY, --memory MEMORY
amount (GB) of GPU RAM. (default: 12)
--chunk_size CHUNK_SIZE
Use this parameter when having low memory. Parsing the file in
chunks.
Not needed when free RAM >=5 * your_file_size (uncompressed,
sum of paired ends).
When chunk_size=256, memory=16 it will load 256 * 16 * 1024
reads each chunk (use ~20 GB for 100bp paired end).
-v, --version show program's version number and exit

The above command line excutes ribodetector for paired-end reads with length 100 using 20 CPU cores.

-t THREADS, --threads THREADS
number of threads to use. (default: 10)
--chunk_size CHUNK_SIZE
chunk_size * threads reads to process per thread.(default:
1024)
When chunk_size=1024 and threads=20, each process will load
1024 reads, in total consumming ~20G memory.
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
