Please have a look at Haplogrep 3 which also includes a command-line version and uses the same core functionality as this version! This repository is not maintained anymore.

The haplogroup classifications in Haplogrep are based on the revised tree by Dür et al, 2021, which is an update of the latest PhyloTree version 17 by van Oven, 2016 based on the work of van Oven & Kayser, 2009.
If you use HaploGrep, please cite our latest Haplogrep2 paper or the initial Haplogrep paper.
Additionally please cite (1) Dür et al, 2021 if you use the latest Phylotree17_FU1 tree, (2) van Oven, 2016 for PhyloTree 17 or van Oven & Kayser, 2009 in case an older PhyloTree version has been used.
Currently two tools are available.
# Download test data
wget https://github.com/seppinho/haplogrep-cmd/raw/master/test-data/vcf/HG00097.vcf.gz
# Run Haplogrep Classification
./haplogrep classify --in HG00097.vcf.gz --format vcf --out haplogroups.txt
The recommended input format is a single-sample/multi-sample VCF (*.vcf.gz or *.vcf).
For alignment, bwa version 0.7.17 is used. For each input sequence, HaploGrep excludes positions from the tested range that are (1) not covered by the input fragment or (2) has marked with a N in the sequence.
You can also specify your profiles in the original HaploGrep hsd format, which is a simple tab-delimited file format consisting of 4 columns (ID, Range, Haplogroup and Polymorphisms).
Sample1 1-16569 H100 263G 315.1C 750G 1041G 1438G 4769G 8860G 9410G 12358G 13656C 15326G 16189C 16192T 16519C
Sample2 1-16569 ? 73G 263G 315.1C 750G 1438G 3010A 3107C 4769G 5111T 8860G 10257T 12358G 15326G 16145A 16222T 16519C
For readability, the polymorphisms are also tab-delimited (so columns >= 4). A hsd example can be found here.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
--in |
Please provide the input file name |
--format | Please provide the input format of your data - valid options are: hsd , vcf , or fasta files |
|
--out |
Please provide an output name |
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
--rsrs | By default HaploGrep expects that your data is aligned against rCRS (which is included in the human references hg19 and hg38). If your data is aligned against RSRS, add the --rsrs parameter (Default: off). Please read this blog post carefully before adding this option. |
|
--metric | To change the classification metric to Hamming Distance (hamming ) or Jaccard (jaccard ) add the --metric parameter (Default: Kulczynski Measure). |
|
--extend-report | For additional information on mtSNPs (e.g. found or remaining polymorphisms) please add the --extend-report flag (Default: off). |
|
--phylotree | The used Phylotree version can be changed using the --phylotree parameter (Default: 17_FU1 , allowed numbers from 10,11,12,..,17 (latest version)). |
|
--chip | If you are using genotyping arrays, please add the --chip parameter to limit the range to array SNPs only (Default: off, VCF only). To get the same behaviour for hsd files, please add only the variants to the range, which are included on the array or in the range you have sequenced (e.g. control region). Range can be sepearted by a semicolon ; , both ranges and single positions are allowed (e.g. 16024-16569;1-576;8860). |
|
--skip-alignment-rules |
Add this option to skip our rules that fixes the mtDNA nomenclature for fasta import. Click here for further information. Applying the rules is the default option since v2.4.0 |
--hits | To export the best n hits for each sample add the --hits parameter. By default only the tophit is exported. |
|
--lineage | Create a graph of all input samples by using the --lineage parameter. (Default: 0). 0=no tree, 1=tree with genotypes, 2=only structure, no genotypes. As an output we provide a Graphviz DOT file. You can then use graphviz (sudo apt-get install graphviz ) to convert the dot file to a e.g. pdf (dot <dot-file> -Tpdf > graph.pdf ). |
This tool allows to calculate the distance between two haplogroups.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
--in |
Input file must include 2 columns named "hg1" and "hg2" seperated by ";" |
--out |
Output location of distance file |
Several mtDNA references exist, HaploGrep supports rCRS and RSRS. Please checkout our blog post to learn more about this topic.
If you are using HaploGrep for genotyping array data, please have a look at the --chip
parameter above.
When using fasta as an input format, HaploGrep uses bwa mem to align data. Since the mitochondrial phylogeny is using a 3′ alignment, indels are often not correctly placed for haplogroup classification, when using standard-aligner designed for nuclear DNA. In some cases, where haplogroup defining indels are expected (e.g. missing 8281d-8289d) this can yield to a lower haplogroup quality. To adjust for that, we provide a set of currently 66 rules that can be applied prior to classification. The rules have been estimated based on 7,848 fasta files in 4 steps:
309.1CCT 310C
to 309.1C 309.2C 315.1C
. Heteroplasmies are often stored as heterozygous genotypes (0/1). If a AF tag (= Allele Frequency) is specified in the VCF file, we add variants with a AF > 0.90 to the input profile. Mutation Server is able to create a valid VCF including heteroplasmies starting from BAM or CRAM.
Please have a look at mitoverse to check for heteroplasmies and contamination in your NGS data.
