Hypo-Assembler: A diploid genome polisher and assembler

=======================================================================

Hypo is a package of both polisher, capable of correcting draft genomes, and an assembler to assemble a diploid genome. It exploits unique genomic kmers to both selectively polish only segments of contigs and to increase mapping accuracy.

Installation

Hypo is only available for Unix-like platforms (Linux and MAC OS). Currently, we provide the option of installation from source with CMake. CmakeLists is provided in the project root folder.

Pre-requisites

The following requirements are assumed to be installed (with path to their binaries available in $PATH).

Building

First, you need to clone the repository recusrively (for the submodules)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/kensung-lab/hypo-assembler

After cloning, the easiest way to run the pipeline is to run build_all.sh. This will write a run_all directory, from where the run can be easily executed.

./build_all.sh
cd run_all

The following optional options are available for build_all.sh

 Usage: ./build_all.sh <args>

** Optional parameters
    -t <thread count>
    The number of threads to run make
    [Default] 10

    -n
    If present, will run optimized for native (i.e. -march=native)

    -o <build directory>
    Directory to put executables and scripts.
    [Default] run_all

Usage

Usage with run_all.sh is as follows:

 Usage: ./run_all.sh <args>

** Mandatory arguments
    -1 <short read file 1>
    The file containing the first of the short read input

    -2 <short read file 2>
    The file containing the pair of the short read input

    -l <long reads file>
    The file containing long reads

** Optional parameters
    -t <thread count>
    The number of threads to run
    [Default] 1

    -o <output prefix>
    The prefix for the output file names. The outputs will be <prefix>_1.fa and <prefix>_2.fa
    [Default] hypo

    -d <assembly draft>
    The file containing the original draft. If not provided, FlyE will be run from the given long reads
    [Default] None

    -B <long reads mapping to draft>
    Mappings of the long reads to the original draft as provided in -d. If not provided, minimap2 will be run to align the long reads
    [Default] None

    -s <estimated size>
    Estimated size of the assembled genome. K/M/G suffix accepted
    [Default] 3G

    -T <tempdir>
    Directory to write temporary files
    [Default] temp

    -m <sortmem>
    The memory used for each samtools sorting thread. Samtools will use number of threads * sortmem memory.
    [Default] 1G

    -@ <sortthreads>
    The threads used for each samtools sorting. Separate from the normal number of threads.
    [Default] 10

    -M <kmcmem>
    The max memory for KMC, in GB
    [Default] 12

    -k <kmer length>
    The length of solid kmers used in the method. Recommended is 17 for human genome.
    [Default] 17

Demo

We have included a small demo data to test the installation in demo/

For the puposes of this demo, the following external library is assumed:

Assuming build_all.sh is already run:

cd run_all
./run_all.sh -1 ../demo/il1.fq -2 ../demo/il2.fq -l ../demo/ont.fq.gz -t 40

This will run hypo-assembler on 40 threads.

The outputs will be hypo_1.fa and hypo_2.fa in the run_all directory.

To make sure the program runs properly, you can compare the output with the results in demo/expected_result/hypo_1.fa and demo/expected_result/hypo_2.fa, i.e.

diff hypo_1.fa ../demo/expected_result/hypo_1.fa
diff hypo_2.fa ../demo/expected_result/hypo_2.fa

If both commands execute without any output, then the program works properly.

Running hypo-polisher

We recommend running the full package of hypo-assembler with -d option to improve a quality of a draft genome. However, we also provide the option of running the polisher separate from the assembler.

To run them, simply run the binary "hypo" built from the polisher directory.

Usage: hypo <args>

 ** Mandatory args:
    -r, --reads-short <str>
    Input file name containing reads (in fasta/fastq format; can be compressed). A list of files containing file names in each line can be passed with @ prefix.

    -d, --draft <str>
    Input file name containing the draft contigs (in fasta/fastq format; can be compressed). 

    -b, --bam-sr <str>
    Input file name containing the alignments of short reads against the draft (in bam/sam format; must have CIGAR information). 

    -c, --coverage-short <int>
    Approximate mean coverage of the short reads. 

    -s, --size-ref <str>
    Approximate size of the genome (a number; could be followed by units k/m/g; e.g. 10m, 2.3g). 

** Optional args:
    -B, --bam-lr <str>
    Input file name containing the alignments of long reads against the draft (in bam/sam format; must have CIGAR information). 
    [Only Short reads polishing will be performed if this argument is not given]

    -o, --output <str>
    Output file name. 
    [Default] hypo_<draft_file_name>.fasta in the working directory.

    -t, --threads <int>
    Number of threads. 
    [Default] 1.

    -p, --processing-size <int>
    Number of contigs to be processed in one batch. Lower value means less memory usage but slower speed. 
    [Default] All the contigs in the draft.

    -m, --match-sr <int>
    Score for matching bases for short reads. 
    [Default] 5.

    -x, --mismatch-sr <int>
    Score for mismatching bases for short reads. 
    [Default] -4.

    -g, --gap-sr <int>
    Gap penalty for short reads (must be negative). 
    [Default] -8.

    -M, --match-lr <int>
    Score for matching bases for long reads. 
    [Default] 3.

    -X, --mismatch-lr <int>
    Score for mismatching bases for long reads. 
    [Default] -5.

    -G, --gap-lr <int>
    Gap penalty for long reads (must be negative). 
    [Default] -4.

    -n, --ned-th <int>
    Threshold for Normalised Edit Distance of long arms allowed in a window (in %). Higher number means more arms allowed which may slow down the execution.
    [Default] 20.

    -q, --qual-map-th <int>
    Threshold for mapping quality of reads. The reads with mapping quality below this threshold will not be taken into consideration. 
    [Default] 2.

    -i, --intermed
    Store or use (if already exist) the intermediate files. 
    [Currently, only Solid kmers are stored as an intermediate file.].

    -h, --help
    Print the usage.
