🎉 ImmunoTyper-SR 🧬

ImmunoTyper-SR is a powerful tool for Immunoglobulin Variable Gene genotyping and CNV analysis from whole genome sequencing (WGS) short reads using ILP Optimization. Check out our paper here for more details.

📢 New Feature: Now supporting IGLV and TRAV genotyping! 🎉

🚀 Installation

Gurobi

ImmunoTyper-SR leverages the Gurobi solver for optimization. You need a valid license to use Gurobi. Licenses are free for academic purposes.

Docker / Singularity

For the easiest installation, we recommend using the Docker image available on DockerHub at cdslsahinalp/immunotyper-sr.

To run the image with Singularity (commonly used on HPCs), use the following command:

singularity pull docker://cdslsahinalp/immunotyper-sr
singularity run -B <GUROBI_LICENSE_PATH>:/opt/gurobi/gurobi.lic -B <BAM_DIRECTORY>:<BAM_DIRECTORY> -B <OUTPUT_PATH>:/output immunotyper-sr_latest.sif <BAM_DIRECTORY>/<BAM_FILE>

Conda + Pip

If you already have BWA installed and prefer not to create a new environment, you can download the latest release binary (see right toolbar) and install it with pip:

pip install <binary.whl>

For the best experience, we recommend setting up a clean environment first:

conda create -n immunotyper-SR -c bioconda python=3.8 bwa samtools
conda activate immunotyper-SR
pip install <binary.whl>

Environment and Dependencies

Installing ImmunoTyper-SR with pip will automatically install these dependencies:

In addition to the above, you will need

BWA mem mapper. We recommend using a new conda environment for the installation, which you can also use to install BWA:

conda create -n immunotyper-SR -c bioconda python=3.8 bwa samtools
conda activate immunotyper-SR
pip install <binary.whl>

Gurobi solver configured with a valid license

To check that gurobi is correctly configured, run gurobi_cl from a shell.

Installing from source

If the binary fails to install, you can build the tool from source:

conda create -n immunotyper-SR -c bioconda python=3.8 bwa samtools
conda activate immunotyper-SR
git clone git@github.com:algo-cancer/ImmunoTyper-SR.git ./ImmunoTyper-SR
cd ImmunoTyper-SR
python -m pip install --upgrade  build
python -m build
pip install dist/<.tar.gz or .whl build>

🛠️ Running ImmunoTyper-SR:

After installing with pip, use the command immunotyper-SR. The only required input is a BAM file. Outputs are generated in the current working directory, where is the input BAM filename without the extension:

-_functional_allele_calls.txt: List of functional alleles called.
-_allele_calls.txt: Includes pseudogenes.
--extracted.fa: Reads extracted from the BAM used for analysis.
--immunotyper-debug.log: Log file.

IMPORTANT: If your BAM was mapped to GRCh37 use the --hg37 flag.
