This is a collection of commonly used pipelines integrated into a single workflow via snakemake. Previously, I had all of these as individual snakemake workflows. This workflow is designed to run on NYU's UltraViolet HPC, which utilizes Slurm and has a variety of different node types.
There are currently 4 RNA-seq analysis pipelines available
1. RNAseq_PE
paired-end data fastqc > fastp > STAR > featurecounts
2. RNAseq_SE
single-end data fastqc > fastp > STAR > featurecounts
3. RNAseq_HISAT2_stringtie
paired-end data fastqc > fastp > HISAT2 > stringtie
4. RNAseq_HISAT2_stringtie_nvltrx
paired-end data fastqc > fastp > HISAT2 > stringtie novel transcript identification
There are currently 3 analysis pipelines available
1. ChIPseq_PE
paired-end data fastqc > fastp > bowtie2 > macs2
2. CUT-RUN_PE
paired-end data fastqc > fastp > bowtie2 > seacr
3. ATACseq_PE
paired-end data fastqc > fastp > bowtie2 > macs2
workflow/Snakefile launches the individual pipelines in workflow/rules
This file contains a tab deliminated table with:
1. The names of R1 and R2 of each fastq file as received from the sequencing center. If sample was split over multiple lanes, remove the lane number ('L00X') from the fastq file name. cat_rename.py removes this when it concatenates .fastq files split over multiple lanes.
2. Simple sample names
3. Condition (e.g. diabetic vs non_diabetic)
4. Replicate #
5. If using ChIPseq or CUT-RUN a column titles 'antibody' is required. antibody specifies if the sample is the ChIP antibody or a control (input or IgG etc...)
6. Sample name is the concatenated final sample_id. This is a concatenation of the sample name, condition, replicate, and antibody (if present) columns
7. Additional metadata can be added to this table for downstream analysis
8. For ChIPseq and CUT-RUN, sample name, condition, and replicate should be identical for each pair of antibody and control fastq files. The antibody column specifies which of the pair is antibody and which is control.
This file contains required general and workflow specific configuaration info.
Generic requirements
sample_file: Where to locate the samples_info.tab file (default config/samples_info.tab)
workflow: name of workflow being used
genome: location of indexed genome.
1. For RNAseq_PE or RNAseq_SE - star 2.7.7a index
2. For HISAT2 workflows - HISAT2 index
3. For ChIPseq/CUT-RUN/ATACseq - bowtie2 index
GTF: location of .gtf file
CUT-RUN_PE
spike_genome: Location of spike-in genome index. This is only implemented in CUT-RUN. bowtie2 index
chromosome_lengths: location of chromosome lengths file. required for spike-in normalization in CUT-RUN
ChIPseq_PE
effective_genome_size: Effective genome size for MACS2
ATACseq_PE
effective_genome_size: Effective genome size for MACS2
RNAseq_HISAT2_stringtie or RNAseq_HISAT2_stringtie_nvltrx
prepDE_length: Average fragment length for stringtie prepDE script
This file contains the default slurm resources for each rule
This script:
1. Concatenates fastq files for samples that were split over multiple sequencing lanes
2. Renames the fastq files from the generally verbose ids given by the sequencing center to those supplied in Samples_info.tab.
3. The sample name, condition, and replicate columns are concatenated and form the new sample_id_Rx.fastq.gz files
4. This script is executed via snakemake_init.sh prior to launching the appropriate snakemake pipeline
This bash script:
1. Executes cat_rename.py
2. executes conda_load script
3. Executes snakemake
4. Runs multiqc
This script sets some environment variable and loads the conda environment.
This file computes the fraction of reads in peaks (FRP) and outputs a table with FRP, total fragments, and fragments within peaks.
This file contains the conda environment info used by this pipeline.
When starting a new project:
1. Clone the git repo using 'git clone https://github.com/mgildea87/CVRCseq.git'
2. Update the samples_info.tab file with fastq.gz file names and desired sample, condition, replicate names, and Antibody/IgG control status (if using)
3. Update config.yaml
4. Modify parameters in the appropriate worklow/rules .smk file if desired. e.g. alignment parameters.
5. Run 'bash workflow/scripts/snakemake_init.sh'
Description of parameters
-h help"
-d .fastq directory"
-s parameters to pass to snakemake (e.g. --unlock)
-w workflow
* Add testing data and tests
* Enrichment pipelines
* Add irreproducible discovery rate (IDR) for identifying robust peak sets between replicates. See ENCODE pipeline
* Add deduplication by default. Likely via Picard prior to peak calling. (rn macs does this)
* enable more efficient handling of experimental designs where the same input is used for multiple pull-down/antibody samples. e.g. ChIRPseq.
* Simplify cat_rename.py to take sample prefixes (text upstream of the lane number '_L00X') supplied via samples_info.tab.
* Add parameter to specify output directory name. Right now its given the pipeline name.
* Add salmon pipeline for RNAseq
* Add rules to snakefiles containing R scripts for some downstream QC and plotting. e.g. for RNAseq: PCA, replicate scatter plots, count statistics or for ATACseq: fragment length distributions, FRP plots, replicate comparisons.
