Targeted bait capture is a technique for sequencing many loci simultaneously based on bait sequences. HybPiper pipeline starts with high-throughput sequencing reads (for example from Illumina MiSeq), and assigns them to target genes using BLASTx or BWA. The reads are distributed to separate directories, where they are assembled separately using SPAdes. The main output is a FASTA file of the (in frame) CDS portion of the sample for each target region, and a separate file with the translated protein sequence.

HybPiper also includes post-processing scripts, run after the main pipeline, to also extract the intronic regions flanking each exon, investigate putative paralogs, and calculate sequencing depth. For more information, please see our wiki.

HybPiper is run separately for each sample (single or paired-end sequence reads). When HybPiper generates sequence files from the reads, it does so in a standardized directory hierarchy. Many of the post-processing scripts rely on this directory hierarchy, so do not modify it after running the initial pipeline. It is a good idea to run the pipeline for each sample from the same directory. You will end up with one directory per run of HybPiper, and some of the later scripts take advantage of this predictable directory structure.

A very nice book by Winston Chang for R ethusiast. The R code presented in these pages is the R code actually used to produce the Figures in the book. There will be differences compared to the code chunks shown in the text of the book, but in most cases the differences will be that these pages contain additional code to lay out multiple plots on a single "page".

The code presented for each figure is self-contained, i.e., all code required to produce the figure is included. This means that there is sometimes considerable overlap of code between several figures  In some cases, it may be necessary to install an add-on package from CRAN to get the code to run.

Cutadapt helps with these trimming tasks by finding the adapter or primer sequences in an error-tolerant way. It can also modify and filter reads in various ways. Adapter sequences can contain IUPAC wildcard characters. Also, paired-end reads and even colorspace data is supported. If you want, you can also just demultiplex your input data, without removing adapter sequences at all.

Cutadapt comes with an extensive suite of automated tests and is available under the terms of the MIT license.

If you use cutadapt, please cite DOI:10.14806/ej.17.1.200 .

The arguments accepted by ScaffMatch are:

  -w) Working directory -- this is the directory where ScaffMatch files are stored. These are .sam files produced after mapping reads to contigs and the resulting scaffolds file `scaffolds.fa` fasta file;

  -c) Contig fasta file;

  -m) Command line argument with no options. It is used when .sam files are used instead of reads .fastq files. Do not use this option if you provide reads files;

  -1) (Comma separated list of) either .fastq or .sam file(s) corresponding to the first read of the read pair;

  -2) (Comma separated list of) either .fastq or .sam file(s) corresponding to the second read of the read pair;

  -i) (Comma separated list of) insert size(s) of the library(-ies);

  -s) (Comma separated list of) library(-ies) standard deviation(s) of insert size(s);

  -t) Bundle threshold. Pairs of contigs supported by number of read pairs less than the value of this argument are discarded. Optional argument, by default it is equal to 5;

  -g) Matching heuristics: use `max_weight` for Maximum Weight Matching heuristics with the Insertion step, use `backbone` for Maximum Weight Matching heuristics without the Insertion step, use `greedy` for Greedy Matching heuristics;

  -l) Log file - where to store the logs. Optional argument. By default, stdout is used.

• paired-end (PE) and/or mate-pair libraries (NGS-based mode)
• long reads (NGS-based mode)
• synteny to the genome of some related species (reference-based mode)

Scaffolding 

In reference-based mode, pyScaf uses synteny to the genome of closely related species in order to order contigs and estimate distances between adjacent contigs.

Contigs are aligned globally (end-to-end) onto reference chromosomes, ignoring:

• matches not satisfying cut-offs (--identity and --overlap)
• suboptimal matches (only best match of each query to reference is kept)
• and removing overlapping matches on reference.

In preliminary tests, pyScaf performed superbly on simulated heterozygous genomes based on C. parapsilosis (13 Mb; CANPA) and A. thaliana (119 Mb; ARATH) chromosomes, reconstructing correctly all chromosomes always for CANPA and nearly always for ARATH (Figures in dropbox, CANPA table, ARATH table).
Runs took ~0.5 min for CANPA on 4 CPUs and ~2 min for ARATH on 16 CPUs.

Important remarks:

• Reduce your assembly before (fasta2homozygous.py) as any redundancy will likely break the synteny.
• pyScaf works better with contigs than scaffolds, as scaffolds are often affected by mis-assemblies (no de novo assembler / scaffolder is perfect...), which breaks synteny.
• pyScaf works very well if divergence between reference genome and assembled contigs is below 20% at nucleotide level.
• pyScaf deals with large rearrangements ie. deletions, insertion, inversions, translocations. Note however, this is experimental implementation!
• Consider closing gaps after scaffolding.
