SLiMSuite release v1.2.0 (2016-09-12) online
The long-overdue September 2016 release of SLiMSuite 2016-09-12 - v1.2.0 is now on GitHub. Apart from a few bug fixes, the main updates in this release are to the tools for PacBio genomics, notably PAGSAT, SMRTSCAPE and a new SNP Mapping tool, Snapper. These are still in development and need further documentation but are ready for use with a little help. Please get in touch if you are interested. Proper documentation and example use will hopefully follow soon, as the first PacBio yeast paper is written.
GABLAM has had some minor tweaks for improved function with Snapper, PAGSAT and another developmental tool that will be in the next release (REVERT - available via the REST servers). These have been focused on the fragfas=T output of fragmented BLAST hits based on local alignments. This includes addition of a new default to reverse complement reverse hits (fragrevcomp=T) and the separation of parameters for splitting up local hits into multiple fragments (gablamfrag=X) and merging close/overlapping fragments (fragmerge=X).

SMRTSCAPE: SMRT Subread Coverage & Assembly Parameter Estimator
SMRTSCAPE (SMRT Subread Coverage & Assembly Parameter Estimator) is tool in development as part of our PacBio sequencing projects for predicting and/or assessing the quantity and quality of useable data required/produced for HGAP3 de novo whole genome assembly. The current documentation is below. Some tutorials will be developed in the future - in the meantime, please get in touch if you want to use it and anything isn’t clear.
The main functions of SMRTSCAPE are:
Estimate Genome Coverage and required numbers of SMRT cells given predicted read outputs. NOTE: Default settings for SMRT cell output are not reliable and you should speak to your sequencing provider for up-to-date figures in their hands.
Summarise the amount of sequence data obtained from one or more SMRT cells, including unique coverage (one read per ZMW).
Calculate predicted coverage from subread data for difference length and quality cutoffs.
Predict HGAP3 length and quality settings to achieve a given coverage and accuracy.
SMRTSCAPE will be available in the next SLiMSuite download. The coverage=T mode can be run from the EdwardsLab server at: http://www.slimsuite.unsw.edu.au/servers/pacbio.php. (This is currently running a slightly old implementation but should be updated shortly.)

### ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ###Function
SMRTSCAPE has a number of functions for PacBio sequencing projects, concerned with predicting and/or assessing the quantity and quality of useable data produced:
- Summarise subreads (
summarise=T). This function summarises subread data from a givenseqin=FILEfasta file, or a set of subread fasta files given withbatch=FILELIST. - Calculate length cutoffs (
calculate=T). Calculates length cutoffs for different XCoverage combinations from subread summary data. - Parameters (
parameters=T). This function attempts to generate predicted optimum assembly settings from thesummary=Tandcalculate=Ttable data. - Genome Coverage (
coverage=T). This method tries to predict genome coverage and accuracy for different depths of PacBio sequencing. - Preassembly fragmentation analysis (
preassembly=FILE). - Parse Parameters (
parseparam=FILES). This method parses assembly parameters from the SmrtPipeSettings Summary file. - Prediction (
predict=T). This method compares predicted coverage from seed reads with estimated coverage from preassembly data.
These are explored in more detail below.
Setup
The setup phase primarily sorts out the SMRTSCAPE objects. With the exception of pure ParseParam runs, it will also set up:
- Genome Size. Unless given with
genomesize=X, this will be asked for as it is required X coverage/depth and accuracy calculations. - Target Error Rate. Unless given with
targeterr=X, a target error rate of 1/GenomeSizewill be set. - Basefile. Finally, if no
basefile=Xsetting is given, the basename for output files will be set to the basename ofseqin=FILEif given (stripping.subreadsif present), elsesmrtscape.*.
Summarise subreads (summarise=T)
This function summarises subread data from a given seqin=FILE fasta file, or a set of subread fasta files given with batch=FILELIST. This uses the summarise=T function of rje_seqlist to first give text output to the log file of some summary statistics:
- Total number of sequences.
- Total length of sequences.
- Min. length of sequences.
- Max. length of sequences.
- Mean length of sequences.
- Median length of sequences.
- N50 length of sequences.
Next, Pacbio-specific subread header information will be parsed to generate three summary tables (described in more detail below):
*.zmw.tdtsummary of all subreads.*.unique.tdtsummary of the longest subread per ZMW.*.rq.tdtsummary of subread data for different Read Quality values.
These are generated by parsing both the sequence data and the sequence name data:
>m150625_001530_42272_c100792502550000001823157609091582_s1_p0/9/0_3967 RQ=0.784
>m150625_001530_42272_c100792502550000001823157609091582_s1_p0/11/0_20195 RQ=0.868These are split into component parts:
m150625_001530_42272_c100792502550000001823157609091582_s1_p0= SMRT cell (SMRT)./9= ZMW (ZMW)./0_3967= raw read positions used for subread (5’ adaptor removed) (Pos).RQ=0.784= read quality (mean per base accuracy) (RQ).
The numbers and “best” subreads for each ZMW are summarised in #RN log file entries.
Subread output (*.zmw.tdt)
The first output file is the *.zmw.tdt, which stores the subread information:
SMRT,ZMW,Pos,RQ= as above.RN= subread number within ZMW (1 to N).Len= length of subread.Seq= sequence file position.
The unique key for this file is: SMRT,ZMW,RN.
Unique subread output (*.unique.tdt)
This table is made from *.zmw.tdt by reducing each ZMW’s output to a single read. Reads are kept in preference of (a) longest, (b) read quality (if tied), and finally (c) earliest read (if tied for both). It hase the same fields as *.zmw.tdt with keys determined by: SMRT,ZMW.
Read Quality output (*.rq.tdt)
This table outputs the number and percentage of subreads and longest reads at each read quality (RQ). Fields:
RQ= read quality (per base accuracy)xerr= the Xdepth required @ thatRQto meet thetargeterr=Xerror per base accuracy.subread= number of subreads with thatRQ.unique= number of “best” unique subread per ZMW with thatRQ.f.subreads= proportion of subreads with thatRQ.f.unique= proportion of unique subreads with thatRQ.cum.subreads= proportion of subreads with quality >=RQ.cum.unique= proportion of unique subreads with quality >=RQ.x.subreads= XCoverage of subreads with quality >=RQ.x.unique= XCoverage of unqiue subreads with quality >=RQ.MeanRQ= mean read quality of bases in subreads with quality >=RQ.Mean.XErr= the Xdepth required at thatMeanRQto meet thetargeterr=Xerror per base accuracy.
Calculate length cutoffs (calculate=T)
This function calculates length cutoffs for different XCoverage combinations from subread summary data. It uses the *.zmw.tdt, *.unique.tdt and *.rq.tdt files from above, generating if required (and regenerating if force=T).
First, XCovLimit data are calculated. These are the summed read lengths required to generate the desired genome coverage (targetcov=X) at different depths of X coverage. Note that the square root of the targetcov=X value is used, as the HGAP assembly process involves two layers of genome coverage: (1) coverage of seed reads by anchor reads to generate the pre-assembly; (2) coverage of the pre-assembly.
XCovLimit data are calculated by incrementing total summed read lengths in 1 Mb increments (adjusted with xsteplen=X). At each incremment, genomesize=X is used to calculate the total X coverage. The probability of the target X coverage (starting at 1X) given the total X coverage is then calculated using a Poisson distribution. If this probability exceeds the target genome coverage, the current summed length is set as the XCovLimit for X and the target X increased by 1. The total summed read length is then incremented by xsteplen and the process repeated until the summed length reaches the total length of all subreads of at least the size set by minreadlen=X (default 500 bp).
Next, the read quality steps to calculate are established using rq=X,Y (minimum (X) and maximum (Y) read quality cutoffs, defaults=0.8-0.9) and rqstep=X (the size of RQ steps for calculations, default=0.01 (min 0.001).
Finally, the seed and anchor lengths required to achieve certain minimum Xdepths of target genome coverage are calculated and output to *.cutoffs.tdt.
For each RQ cutoff, TargetErr is used to establish the min. required anchor read Xdepth (AnchorMinX). If this exceeds the specified minanchorx=X value, this will be used as the minimum target instead. Next, the seed read length (SeedLen) required to get a combined unique seed read length to give a minimum Xdepth (SeedMinX) of targetxcov=X is calculated. Where xmargin > 0, additional seed lengths will also be calculated to give deeper minimum seed Xdepths. e.g. targetxcov=3 xmargin=2 will calculate SeedLen for 3X, 4X and 5X. For each SeedLen, anchor read length cutoffs are also calculated such that the summed length of unique reads where AnchorLen <= length < SeedLen is sufficent to give AnchorMinX values from the minimum established above until XMargin is reached.
If there is insufficient data to meet the minimum seed and anchor read depths, the “optimal” seed XCoverage will be calculated from the unique seed reads, as described for coverage=T. In essence, SeedMinX will be reduced to meet AnchorMinX until it falls below zero and then the two values will be optimised to try and maximise genome coverage at the required target error. Users may prefer instead to relax the targetxcov=X and/or minanchorx=X values. This optimisation is based on unique Xcoverage and the precise values subsequently output in *.cutoffs.tdt may differ. (Relaxed variations could be run with higher xmargin=X values to output a range from which the chosen values can be selected for predict=T.)
NOTE: mapefficiency=X is used during this process to reduce the effective seed coverage at a given summed length and thus inflate the required SeedX needed to achieve a given SeedMinX.
*.cutoffs.tdt
This table contains the main output from the calculate=T function. Unique entries are determined by combinations of 'RQ, SeedMinX and AnchorMinX.
RQ= Read Quality Cutoff.SeedMinX= Min seed XCoverage for TargetCov % of genome (unique reads). If this is <1, it indicates the proportion of the genome covered at 1X.SeedLen= Seed length Cutoff.SeedX= Total Seed read XCoverage (all reads).AnchorMinX= Min anchor XCoverage for TargetCov % of genome (unique reads). If this is <minanchorx=X, it indicates the proportion of the genome covered atminanchorxX.AnchorLen= Anchor read (i.e. overall subread) length cutoff.AnchorX= Total Anchor read XCoverage (all reads).
Preassembly fragmentation analysis (preassembly=FILE)
[ ] : Add preassembly details here.Optimal Assembly Parameters (parameters=T)
The parameters=T function attempts to generate predicted optimum assembly settings from the summary=T and calculate=T table data.
- The
*.cutoffs.tdttable is read in (or generated if required). - The
targetxcov=Xandxmargin=Xsettings are used to determine the desiredSeedMinXvalue, i.e. the miniumum depth of coverage of the chosen seed reads. (NB. Themapefficiency=Xsetting is used for inflating the required XCoverage needed to meet this Min XDepth during the calculate process.) - Each potential
RQcutoff is now assessed and thetargeterr=Xsetting used to determine the required Xdepth per base for error correction. Note: This uses the minimum RQ value and should thus be conservative. Using the mean RQ was considered but it was deemed that conservative is best in this scenario. - The desired
AnchorMinXis calculated from the target Xdepth andxmargin=X. The final value is reduced by one to allow for the fact that the seed read counts as X=1 for error estimation. - Parameter combinations have now been reduced to those with the desired Seed and Anchor minimum Xdepth. Two parameter combinations are then output:
- MaxLen parameters using the mininum RQ value and thus the longest seed and anchor read length cutoffs.
- MaxRQ parameters using the maximum RQ value.
Note that the predicted parameter settings are only output as #PARAM log entries: the full set (including these “optimal” ones) are part of the *.cutoffs.tdt file.
Genome Coverage (coverage=T)
This method tries to predict genome coverage and accuracy for different depths of PacBio sequencing based on predicted usable output statistics and the genome size. Statistics for existing runs can be generated using the summarise=T option and used to inform calculate=T if run together.
Setup. If the summarise=T option is used and/or there is an existing BASEFILE.unique.tdt file (and force=F) then the *.unique.tdt table will be used to generate SMRT cells statistics: mean read count (used to populate smrtreads=X); mean total read count (used to populate avread=X); mean RQ (used to populated errperbase=X). Otherwise, the corresponding commandline options will be used. If smrtunits is Gb or Mb then smrtreads=X will be recalculated as smrtreads/avread.
XnList. The second stage of setup is to calculate the %coverage at certain X depth coverage to be calculated along with overall depth of coverage etc. These numbers are based on the subread summarise and calculate settings: targetxcov and targetxcov+minanchorx. Any levels explicitly chosen by xnlist=LIST will also be calculated.
TargetXDepth. Next, target Xdepth values are calculated in the same fashion as XCovLimit data (above), except that these are now converted to Xcoverage (based on GenomeSize) rather than total subread lengths.
Accuracy. The % genome coverage and accuracy for different X coverage of a genome are then calculated assuming a non-biased error distribution. Calculations use binomial/poisson distributions, assuming independence of sites. Accuracy is based on a majority reads covering a particular base with the correct call, assuming random calls at the other positions (i.e. the correct bases have to exceed 33% of the incorrect positions). The errperbase=X parameter is used for this calculation.
Coverage. Coverage statistics are then calculated for each Xdepth of sequencing (or SMRT cell if bysmrt=T) First, the optimal seed read Xcoverage is calculated. The target seed Xdepth (targetxcov=X) and anchor depth (minanchorx=X) are used to identify the total target Xcoverage. If this is met (inflating required seed coverage to account for mapefficiency=X), the largest seedX value that meets the minanchorx=X anchor depth is selected. If this cannot be achieved with seedX >= 1, the optimal balance between seed length and anchor length is achieved by maximising the probability of 1X seed coverage and MinAnchorX+ anchor coverage. This seed read length is then used to generate the predicted coverage output.
*.coverage.tdt
Main output is the *.coverage.tdt file. All calculations are based on subreads, and therefore using the “raw” polymerase read data for the smrtreads=X value for SMRT cells will overestimate coverage. Note that smrtreads=X can be used to input sequence capacity in Gb (or Mb) rather than read counts by changing smrtunits=X.
XCoverage= Total mean depth of coverage.SMRT= Total number of SMRT cells.%Coverage= Estimated %coverage of assembly.%Accuracy= Estimated %accuracy of assembled genome. This is established by working out the predicted proportion of the genome at each Xcoverage (given the totalXCoverage) and the accuracy at that depth (as described above).%Complete= Product of %coverage and %accuracy.SeedX= Estimated optimal depth of coverage for seed reads.
Parsing assembly parameters (ParseParam=FILES)
This method will take a bunch of *.settings text files (wildcards allowed) and parse out the assembly parameter settings into a delimited text file. The contents of these files should be consistent with the Assembly_Metrics_*.xlsx file produced by the SMRT Portal.
Output for this method is a *.settings.tdt file, which has the following field headers:
Setting. The full setting name, e.g.p_preassemblerdagcon.minCorCov.Prefix. The setting prefix, e.g.p_preassemblerdagcon.Suffix. The setting suffix, e.g.minCorCov. (This is used for some of the*.predict.tdtfields.)Variable. Whether the parameter is variable (“TRUE”) or fixed (“FALSE”) in the set of*.settingsfiles being parsed.Assemblies. Each assembly (the*in*.settings) will get its own field containing the actual value used for that parameter in that assembly.
NOTE: The files coming off SMRT Portal have some undesirable non-unicode characters in them. These are hopefully stripped by SMRTSCAPE but it is possible that some parameters may not be correctly parsed.
ParamList
It is possible to parse a selected subset of parameters using paramlist=LIST. (This is easiest where LIST is a text file with one parameter per line.) This should be a list of the full parameter name, i.e. the content of the Setting field.
[ ] : Add the recommended list of parameters here.Predicting assembly coverage (Predict=T)
This function predicts coverage from parsed assembly parameters and compares to pre-assembly subreads if possible. Its primary function is to check that the parameter settings from calculate=T are working as expected (at least in terms of preassembly generation) and to tweak the mapefficiency=X option if required. Where a reference is available, it can also be used to test the make SRMTSCAPE calculations in terms of coverage etc.
Predict uses data from the summarise=T and parseparam=FILES functions. (These will be run if required.) As such, it requires the original subread data (seqin=FILE) and the list of *.settings files that identifies the assemblies. (See ParseParam=FILES.) Pre-assembly *.preassembly.fasta files should match the *.settings files. (The file looked for will be identified as a #PREX log entry.)
If it already exists, the *.predict.tdt will be loaded and updated. Otherwise a new *.predict.tdt file will be created. (See below.) Predict first loads in the relevant data and assembly parameters (see output) before calculating expected coverage from subread data and observed coverage from preassembly data.
Predict output
The output of Predict mode is a *.predict.tdt output file with the following fields:
Assembly= The assembly base filename for a given file inparseparam=FILES.minSubReadLength= parsedp_filter.minSubReadLengthsetting.readScore= parsedp_filter.readScoresetting.minLongReadLength= parsedp_preassemblerdagcon.minLongReadLengthsetting.minCorCov= parsedp_preassemblerdagcon.minCorCovsetting.ovlErrorRate= parsedp_assembleunitig.ovlErrorRatesetting.SeedX= mean depth of coverage for seed reads given seed length and min RQ score.AnchorX= mean depth of coverage for anchor reads given seed length and min RQ score.SeedMinX= minimum depth of coverage of unique seed reads to achieveXCovLimit(seecalculate=T.AnchorMinX= minimum depth of coverage of unique anchor reads to achieveXCovLimit(seecalculate=T.PreCov= predicted base coverage of pre-assembly.CorPreCov= corrected predicted base coverage of pre-assembly givenmapefficiency=X.PreX= average depth of coverage of*.preassembly.fastasequences, givengenomesize.PreMinX= minimum depth of coverage of*.preassembly.fastasequences to achieveXCovLimit(seecalculate=T.PreMapEfficiency=PreX/SeedXas an estimate of the loss of seed sequence during the preassembly mapping phase. Ideally, this should be close to themapefficiency=Xsetting. (NOTE: SMRTSCAPE has not undergone extensive testing of this assumption.
