Content Description:
-
canu-1.8.Linux-amd64.tar.xz - the popular long read assembler employed in the pipeline
-
mitoVGP_conda_env_pacbio.yml - conda environment containing all software required to run the pipeline with Pacbio data on Linux
-
mitoVGP_conda_env_ONT.yml - conda environment containing all software required to run the pipeline with ONT data on Linux
-
mitoVGP - the pipeline
-
scripts/ - the intermediate scripts required by mitoVGP
Quick Start
mitoVGP is available for Linux64 and requires Conda. To install and run follow these instructions:
git clone https://github.com/gf777/mitoVGP.git #clone this git repository
cd mitoVGP #get into mitoVGP folder
tar -xvf canu-1.8.Linux-amd64.tar.xz #install canu assembler
rm canu-1.8.Linux-amd64.tar.xz
#create the mitoVGP pipeline software environment
#please note: Pacbio software only runs on Python 2, while ONT software requires Python 3,
#therefore two different environments must be set depending on data type.
#Pacbio:
conda env create -f mitoVGP_conda_env_pacbio.yml
#ONT:
conda env create -f mitoVGP_conda_env_ONT.yml
conda activate mitoVGP_pacbio #activate mitoVGP conda environment, use mitoVGP_ONT for Nanopore datasets
#run mitoVGP pipeline using 24 cores (example with M. armatus, Pacbio and 10x data)
./mitoVGP -a pacbio -s Mastacembelus_armatus -i fMasArm1 -r mtDNA_Mastacembelus_armatus.fasta -t 24 -b variantCaller
For additional options and specifications you can type:
./mitoVGP -h
Please note that depending on your Pacbio chemistry you will need to define a different polishing tool. For chemistry 2.0 (default):
./mitoVGP -b gcpp
For chemistry lower than 2.0 use:
./mitoVGP -b variantCaller
For RSII chemistries you may also want to align reads using blasr:
./mitoVGP -b variantCaller -m blasr
Pipeline workflow
An existing reference from closely to distantly related species is used to identify mito-like reads in pacbio/ONT WGS data, which are then employed in de novo genome assembly. The assembly is further polished using both long and short read data, and linearized to start with the conventional Phenylalanine tRNA sequence.
