We first operate a rapid inspection of the different BAM files using samtools flagstat. Illumina provided chr21 read mapping obtained with their GA IIx deep sequencing platform <ftp://webdata:webdata@ussd-ftp.illumina.com/Data/SequencingRuns/NA18507_GAIIx_100_chr21.bam>, aligned to the b36/hg18 reference genome)

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.

Minia 2.0.7 Linux 64-bits binaries (Source code) (Legacy codebase)

For the impatient

A typical Minia command line looks like:

./minia -in reads.fa -kmer-size 31 -abundance-min 3 -out output_prefix

Type

./minia

for a quick explanation of the parameters.

For more information, refer to the manual.

KmerGenie can be used to determine the best k-mer size, minimum abundance of correct k-mers, and genome size estimation for your dataset.

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.
