How to apply "--best --strata" for paired-end reads? #42

Closed weishwu closed 5 years ago

weishwu commented 5 years ago

As the Bowtie manual says, "--best --strata" does not apply for paired-end reads. What's the best solution to this? I really need to get only the best stratum.

eturro commented 5 years ago

This is already done internally by bam2hits, don't worry. Using --best --strata just helps get rid of some of the sub-optimal alignments beforehand.

@eturro

Thanks for your quick reply.

But I'm seeing some obviously wrong results which was caused by this issue. For example, I have a transcript that contains only a single SNP. When I quantified allele-specific expression at this SNP, it clearly showed strong paternal-biased expression (more than 95% reads support paternal allele), however the results from MMSeq showed strong maternal-biased expression. After some detective work, I figured it out that the major (not 100%) problem is that bowtie could not distinguish between the paternal version and the maternal version of this transcript because it is only a single nucleotide mismatch (because the default allows 2 mismatches) so it reported alignment to both in equal amount. I tried redoing the alignment by requiring zero mismatch then the results showed correct paternal-biased expression. For other transcripts, this does not necessarily cause flipped direction but can reduce the amplitude of allele-specific expression. Only after I required zero mismatch the results started to make sense. But rather than requiring zero mismatch, the ideal way is to let bowtie report only the best stratum.

Let me show you an example:

Below is mmseq results for the transcripts of IGF2. IGF2 is a maternally-imprinted gene in my samples. Column 4 and 5 is log_mu of paternal and maternal versions respectively and column 5 is column4-column5 (log ratio): ENST00000381392.5 ENSG00000167244.21 IGF2 1.56433 -2.22791 3.79224 ENST00000381395.5 ENSG00000167244.21 IGF2 9.766810000000001 4.06606 5.700750000000001 ENST00000381406.8 ENSG00000167244.21 IGF2 8.01555 -6.4431 14.458649999999999 ENST00000416167.7 ENSG00000167244.21 IGF2 7.79913 -4.31979 12.11892 ENST00000434045.6 ENSG00000167244.21 IGF2 -7.343839999999999 4.61276 -11.956599999999998

As you can see, while all other transcripts are maternally imprinted, ENST00000434045.6 is paternally imprinted. And the first two transcripts show lower degree of imprinting than the next two. When I looked at SNP level ASE, all the SNPs in these transcripts have strong maternal imprinting.

I tried rerunning it by requiring zero mismatch in bowtie mapping, and got these results: ENST00000381392.5 ENSG00000167244.21 IGF2 7.73735 -4.58045 12.3178 ENST00000381395.5 ENSG00000167244.21 IGF2 9.3704 2.71391 6.65649 ENST00000381406.8 ENSG00000167244.21 IGF2 7.44733 -5.74605 13.193380000000001 ENST00000416167.7 ENSG00000167244.21 IGF2 7.612660000000001 -2.5921 10.20476 ENST00000434045.6 ENSG00000167244.21 IGF2 4.867319999999999 -9.99843 14.86575

Now all transcripts show strong maternal imprinting, consistent with the SNP level results. Well, I'd expect ENST00000381395.5 to be similar with others, but at least there is no flipping any more.

The diploid transcriptome was created using the phased SNPs, so the transcript level ASE should be consistent with the SNP level ASE when all SNPs in this gene are strongly maternally imprinted.

eturro commented 5 years ago

Could you use hitstools on the hits file to identify a read pair that is not being assigned correctly to the best-matching transcript(s) only?

The "NM" tags of two mapped reads in a pair are added up and used to retain only the read pairs in the best mismatch stratum, so this shouldn't happen...

Since "--best --strata" was turned on, I assume the problem was because it was not applied to PE. Is there an option in bam2hits to turn on paired-end mode or it's automatic? I didn't see an option.

eturro commented 5 years ago

You added those asterisks manually, I assume.

It works with paired-end mode automatically. You haven't shown all the alignments for this read against these two transcripts, have you? If it's paired-end then you should have two entries per transcript for this read but you're only showing one entry for each of these two transcripts.

I added asterisks to bold the two transcripts, if that was what you meant.

Here are all alignments from the pair in this transcript. R2 mapped to both _A and _B without mismatch because it fell in the region with no SNP. R1 fell in the region with one SNP so it mapped to _B with one mismatch. I'd like to retain only the mapping to _A in this case.

Yes, I agree that only the alignments to ENST00000434045.6_A should have been kept. Alignments to ENST00000434045.6_B should have been removed by the stratum filter in bam2hits.

Could you provide a link to a minimal set of files to reproduce this issue please?

I just need the fasta file and a mini bam so I can run bam2hits.

You need to compile it with make bam2hits and then you can run it. Have you not been compiling? I.e. have you been using the statically pre-compiled binaries?

I checked the same read in the new bam2hits output and now only the hits on the paternal transcript are reported. I think the bug was fixed. Thanks a lot!

By the way, if I use bowtie2 to map the reads, can bam2hits still do this stratum selection? I see the MMSeq manual specifically says "not Bowtie2" and was wondering why. I understand bowtie1 has some unique and convenient parameters such as "-m and -strata". But is bowtie2 better for reads longer than 50bp? My read length is 150bp. I'm just curious if MMSeq can also take bowtie2 alignments.

I'm sorry but something does not make sense to me. Previously, though the quantification of ENST00000434045.6 expression was wrong, but three other IGF2 transcripts made sense:

transcript       geneSymbol       log_mu_paternal       log_mu_maternal
ENST00000381392.5       IGF2    1.56433 -2.22791
ENST00000381395.5       IGF2    9.766810000000001       4.06606
ENST00000381406.8       IGF2    8.01555 -6.4431
ENST00000416167.7       IGF2    7.79913 -4.31979
ENST00000434045.6       IGF2    -7.343839999999999      4.61276

As you can see for ENST00000381406.8 and ENST00000416167.7 paternal transcripts were highly expressed while maternal transcripts were almost not expressed, which was consistent with both our expectation and our SNP level data.

However, the MMSeq results from the new bam2hits output show that both paternal and maternal IGF2 transcripts are expressed and the levels are close:

transcript       geneSymbol       log_mu_paternal       log_mu_maternal
ENST00000381392.5       IGF2    6.25017 6.29855
ENST00000381395.5       IGF2    8.56896 7.478510000000001
ENST00000381406.8       IGF2    8.153410000000001       7.316730000000001
ENST00000416167.7       IGF2    8.05054 7.3203
ENST00000434045.6       IGF2    6.12244 5.3816

I thought by selecting the best stratum the new results should show even stronger paternal preference for IGF2 because the hits on the maternal transcripts were now eliminated, but the MMSeq results actually go the other way.

If I simply count the number of hits on ENST00000381406.8 the data was as below from the previous bam2hits output:

2824535   ENST00000381406.8_A
2481924   ENST00000381406.8_B

And this is from the new bam2hits output:

2054766   ENST00000381406.8_A
1570441   ENST00000381406.8_B

It seems there is a lot of hassle by using bowtie as the aligner. If I use kallisto could I use the bam2hits in your official release? Do I still have to worry about the stratum issue?
