Obsoleting updated_metadata

kfuku52 commented 2 years ago

Mapping rate should be obtainable from a kallisto output file, so updated_metadata is no longer necessary as we discussed a long time ago. @Hego-CCTB Could you work on that? It would be great if you could apply this update in 2 weeks or so. If you need more time, or if you don't have time in the coming weeks, please let me know.

Hego-CCTB commented 2 years ago

I'm on it!

Hego-CCTB commented 2 years ago

Turns out we already implemented that the mapping rate is being obtained from a .json file from the kallisto output. We just never removed the calls to the updated_metadata functions, so the extra files were still being produced. I confirmed this by commenting all those calls out and running the complete pipeline from start to finish on a handful of test samples and amalgkit worked just fine.

During curate there is still a metadata.tsv file being created in the curate folder, which contains the mapping rates and is used during the execution of the R script.

I would just completely remove any calls to the updated_metadata related functions. Shall I remove the functions as well?

kfuku52 commented 2 years ago

Thank you. Could you remove the functions as well? Also, the mapping rates are summarized only in curate and it may not be convenient because the final step of some use cases may be just merge or cstmm, not reaching curate. Would it be possible to make merge produces merge/metadata.tsv that contains the mapping rates just like curate/metadata.tsv?

Hego-CCTB commented 2 years ago

Any point after quant should be quite alright. Should I leave get_mapping_rate() still as a part of curate (as a backup), or should I move this to merge completely?

kfuku52 commented 2 years ago

get_mapping_rate() should still be there in curate because we want to use curate/metadata.tsv without merging it with merge/metadata.tsv if the project reaches curate.

Hego-CCTB commented 2 years ago

The update was very straight forward. I was hoping to push the SVA alternatives update as well, but I need to work out some kinks still. For now, here's the update: https://github.com/kfuku52/amalgkit/commit/b8d2944ac1f051caf5ee5ce8fc83c89927e4faf0

merge now creates a metadata.tsv in the merge folder identical to the one in curate.
updated metadata and all functions relating to it have been removed.
only exception is write_updated_metadata() from the curate module, since this one creates the metadata.tsv sheet containing the mapping rate information.

Something I've noticed while testing is the following problem with this: When re-using the same project folder, but different input data, curate will cause problems, because it specifically never overwrites any metadata.tsv. So it will try to use an old metadata.tsv, even though the expression data may not line up with its contents. The current solution is to either make a new project folder every time, or manually delete the metadata.tsv from the curate folder.

I see two quick solutions to this:

Introduce a parameter similar to --redo of the other modules that allows the metadata.tsv to be overwritten
Add the date/time to the filename and look for the latest one when running curate. That way the metadata.tsv's are not getting overwritten and we make sure it matches the current dataset.

kfuku52 commented 2 years ago

I prefer the --redo option. I have managed similar problems by date before, but problems are more likely to occur when incorporating such date-based output files into a pipeline.

Hego-CCTB commented 2 years ago

Added --overwrite_metadata or -o in the last push. I decided not to use --redo, since --redo usually refers to all files involved in a rerun. https://github.com/kfuku52/amalgkit/commit/5104adf34fee3e26395633e62dfdd8e2f7625332

kfuku52 commented 2 years ago

Thanks. Please close the issue if everything is done.

amalgkit merge fails due to a missing argument (--overwrite_metadata) when merge/metadata.tsv exists. I added --overwrite_metadata to merge in the last commit ( https://github.com/kfuku52/amalgkit/commit/d138af4d353c4f5838eef539edd3ecf5ca7b0a73 ), but is there any reason not to overwrite merge/metadata.tsv despite merge/GENUS_SPECIES is newly generated every time? Also, the option name --overwrite_metadata is confusing because it implies the update of the file specified by --metadata, but not.

I believe this part is no longer necessary. Please remove it if correct. @Hego-CCTB I am still waiting for your response to the above problem.

This should absolutely not happen as this is an argument exclusively used in curate. Must have slipped in when I was simplifying the subparser. This will be removed.

Yup, we don't need this anymore!
