mirRNA-Seq-Analysis

miRNA-genome mapping using mirdeep2 and mirpro

This repository contains a sample script for performing microRNA analysis using the software package mirPRo and miRDeep2. The script is specifically designed for the dataset available at https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms22137153.

Usage

To run the analysis, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that the required modules are loaded by executing the following commands:

   #!/bin/bash -l
   #SBATCH -J micro_map
   #SBATCH -N 1 
   #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node 4
   #SBATCH --mem 4gb
   #SBATCH --time=01:00:00
   #SBATCH --mail-type=ALL 
   
   module load fastx-toolkit/0.0.14
   module load htslib/1.2.1
   module load gcc/4.9.4
   module load bcftools/1.2

2. Prepare the necessary input files and directories:

   • Place the trimmed FASTQ file at /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/TRIMMED/wt-Control-1.fastq.
   • Prepare the reference files: mature_T.fa, hairpin_T.fa, Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.42.gtf, and Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.dna.toplevel.fa at their respective locations.

3. Execute the following commands to run the analysis:

# Step 1: Run mirpro
/home/siva/mirPRo.1.1.4/bin/mirpro -i /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/TRIMMED/wt-Control-1.fastq -m /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/mature_T.fa -p /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/hairpin_T.fa -d ./mirPro_results -s null -a null -q 0 --gtf /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.42.gtf --novel 1 --other null -g /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.dna.toplevel.fa --index /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/ath_tair10.idx &> ./mirPro_results/wt_Control_1.txt

# Step 2: Run mirpro_feature_pro
bin/mirpro_feature_pro -i /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/TRIMMED/wt_Control_1.sorted.out.bam -t /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.42.gtf -o ./miRNA

# Step 3: Run mirpro with additional options
nohup /home/siva/mirPRo.1.1.4/bin/mirpro -i /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/TRIMMED/wt_Control_1.fastq -m /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/mature_T.fa -p /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/hairpin_T.fa -d ./mirPro_results_1 -s null -a null -q 0 --seed 1 --map-detail 1 -v 1 --arm 1 -c 1 --map-len 15 --map-score 60 --5-upstream 3 --3-upstream 3 --5-downstream 3 --3-downstream 3 -n 0 -r 1 --gtf /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.42.gtf --novel 1 --other null -g /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.dna.toplevel.fa --index /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/ath_tair10.idx &>mirpro_scipt_1.txt

# Step 4: Run manatee
manatee -i /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/TRIMMED/wt-Control-1.fastq -o /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/Manatee -index /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/bowtie_index/arabidopsis_genome -genome /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.dna.toplevel.fa -annotation /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.42.gtf

4. Additional steps and useful links:

   • Exporting paths to bashrc file:

     echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/siva/perl5/perlbrew/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
     echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/siva/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.28.0/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
     echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/siva/anaconda3/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
     echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/siva/anaconda3/condabin' >> ~/.bashrc
     echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/siva/ViennaRNA-2.4.16/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
     echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/siva/randfold_src' >> ~/.bashrc
     echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/siva/bowtie' >> ~/.bashrc

   • Building the genome index:

     bowtie-build Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.dna.toplevel.fa bowtie_index/arabidopsis_genome

   • Converting FASTQ to FASTA format (optional):

     seqtk seq -a /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/TRIMMED/wt-Control-1.fastq > /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/miRNA/FASTA/wt-Control-1.fa
     cat /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/TRIMMED/wt-Control-1.fastq | awk '{if(NR%4==1) {printf(">%s\n",substr($0,2));} else if(NR%4==2) print;}' > /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/miRNA/FASTA/wt-Control-1_1.fa
     sed -n '14s/^@/>/p;24p' /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/TRIMMED/wt-Control-1-3.fastq > /home/siva/Documents/microRNA_data/miRNA/FASTA/wt-Control-1_2.fa

   • Additional mirDeep2 commands:

     miRDeep2.pl reads_collapsed.fa cel_cluster.fa reads_collapsed_vs_genome.arf mature_ref_this_species.fa mature_ref_other_species.fa precursors_ref_this_species.fa -t C.elegans 2> report.log
     $ dos2unix 
     miRDeep2.pl Mirdeep_miRNA/wt-Control-1_collapsed.fa Arabidopsis_thaliana.TAIR10.dna.toplevel.fa Mirdeep_miRNA/wt-ABA-3_collapsed_vs_genome.arf -d none none none 2> wt-Control-1_report.log

   • Browsing the results: Open results.html in a web browser.
