The data is used in the paper "Count-based differential ....." by Anders et al 2013.

Required tools

The version number indicated below is the one I use. It may be updated when you are ready to download that.

  • bowtie (bowtie2-2.1.0-linux-x86_64.zip): Mac, Linux, Windows binaries
  • samtools (samtools-0.1.19.tar.bz2): require GCC to compile (build-essential) & zlib1g-dev & libncurses5-dev packages. wikipedia.
  • tophat (tophat-2.0.10.Linux_x86_64.tar.gz): Linux and Mac binaries
  • sra toolkit (sratoolkit.2.3.4-2-ubuntu64.tar.gz): Mac, Ubuntu & CentOS binaries
  • HTseq (HTSeq-0.6.1.tar.gz): require Python 2
  • IGV (IGV_2.3.26.zip): require Java and registration to download the program
  • FastQC (fastqc_v0.10.1.zip): require Java (jdk is needed, jre is not enough)
  • FastX (fastx_toolkit_0.0.13_binaries_Linux_2.6_amd64.tar.bz2): require libgtextutils-0.6

Installation

If binary executables are available, we don't need to do anything special except adding the path containing the binary to the PATH variable.

If only source code is available, make sure the required tool GCC is installed (Under Ubuntu, we can use sudo apt-get install build-essential). Then we can compile and then install the program by using ./configure, make and make install.

In this exercise, all source code or binary programs were extracted to $HOME/binary/ directory (Use mkdir ~/binary to create this new directory) where each program has its own directory.

To use a shell script to install every thing, try the following.

cd; wget -N https://www.dropbox.com/s/ip1jiarxhq0dq91/install.sh; chmod +x install.sh; sudo ./install.sh; rm install.sh

Change PATH variable

Open ~/.basrhc file using any text editor (such as nano or vi) and add the path containing the binary of each program to PATH variable.

tail ~/.bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:~/binary/bowtie2-2.1.0/
export PATH=$PATH:~/binary/tophat-2.0.10.Linux_x86_64/
export PATH=$PATH:~/binary/samtools-0.1.19/
export PATH=$PATH:~/binary/samtools-0.1.19/bcftools/
export PATH=$PATH:~/binary/samtools-0.1.19/misc/
export PATH=$PATH:~/binary/sratoolkit.2.3.4-2-ubuntu64/bin
export PATH=$PATH:~/binary/HTSeq-0.6.1/build/scripts-2.7
export PATH=$PATH:~/binary/IGV_2.3.26/
export PATH=$PATH:~/binary/FastQC/
export PATH=$PATH:~/binary/fastx/bin

If we want to make these tools available for ALL users (ie system wide environment), we need to put these lines on /etc/profile file.

Data directory

Download <nprot.2013.099-S1.zip> from the paper's web site and extract it to ~/Anders2013 directory.

brb@brbweb4:~$ mkdir Anders2013
brb@brbweb4:~$ cd Anders2013
brb@brbweb4:~/Anders2013$ wget http://www.nature.com/nprot/journal/v8/n9/extref/nprot.2013.099-S1.zip
brb@brbweb4:~/Anders2013$ unzip nprot.2013.099-S1.zip
brb@brbweb4:~/Anders2013$ ls
CG8144_RNAi-1.count  counts.csv             README.txt      Untreated-1.count  Untreated-6.count
CG8144_RNAi-3.count  __MACOSX               samples.csv     Untreated-3.count
CG8144_RNAi-4.count  nprot.2013.099-S1.zip  SraRunInfo.csv  Untreated-4.count

The raw data is from GSE18508 'modENCODE Drosophila RNA Binding Protein RNAi RNA-Seq Studies'.

Subdirectory

During running tophat program, several subdirectories will be generated. Each subdirectory will contain accepted_hits.bam, junctions.bed, insertions.bed, deletions.bed and other files/sub-subdirectories.

Once samtools program was run, .bam (and .bai) files will be created under Anders2013 directory.

Pipeline

The following summary is extracted from http://www.bioconductor.org/help/course-materials/2013/CSAMA2013/tuesday/afternoon/DESeq_protocol.pdf. It is the same as Anders 2013 paper but the paper requires an access permission.

It would be interesting to monitor the disk space usage before, during and after the execution.

Download example data (22 files in SRA format)

Download Supplement file and read <SraRunInfo.csv> in R. We will choose a subset of data based on "LibraryName" column.

sri = read.csv("SraRunInfo.csv", stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
keep = grep("CG8144|Untreated-",sri$LibraryName)

Convert SRA to FASTQ (sra -> fastq)

This takes a long time and it is not to run in parallel by default. At the end of execution, there are 30 fastq files because 8 SRA file are pair end.

stopifnot( all(file.exists(fs)) ) # assure FTP download was successful
for(f in fs) {
cmd = paste("fastq-dump --split-3", f)
cat(cmd,"\n")
system(cmd) # invoke command
}

fastq-dump --split-3 SRR031714.sra
Read 5327425 spots for SRR031714.sra
Written 5327425 spots for SRR031714.sra
fastq-dump --split-3 SRR031715.sra
Read 5248396 spots for SRR031715.sra
Written 5248396 spots for SRR031715.sra
...

Note that '--split-3' option will splits mate-pair reads into separate files (First biological reads satisfying dumping conditions are placed in files *_1.fastq and *_2.fastq If only one biological read is present it is placed in *.fastq Biological reads and above are ignored). See this post.

Access quality control through ShortRead or FastQC

library("ShortRead")
fqQC = qa(dirPath=".", pattern=".fastq$", type="fastq")
report(fqQC, type="html", dest="fastqQAreport")

Use a web browser to inspect the generated HTML file (here, stored in the \fastqQAreport" directory) with the quality-assessment report.

FastX_trimmer is a better choice. The syntax is

fastx_trimmer -f N -l N -i INPUT -o OUTPUT -v -Q33

The last parameter -Q33 is necessary for Illumina encoding quality score. If we omit it, we will get an error fastx_trimmer: Invalid quality score value (char '#' ord 35 quality value -29) on line 4

Download reference genome (for Tophat)

wget ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-70/fasta/drosophila_melanogaster/dna/Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP5.70.dna.toplevel.fa.gz
gunzip Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP5.70.dna.toplevel.fa.gz

Note that bowtie2/tophat2 indices for many commonly used reference genomes can be downloaded directly from http://tophat.cbcb.umd.edu/igenomes.html.

Structure of downloaded reference genome from Tophat

Downloaded genome from tophat takes a long time (20GB for human). Using bowtie2-build program which can takes an enormous time to run.

Download GTF (gene transfer format) file (for Tophat)

The compressed file is 77.6 MB size.

wget ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-70/gtf/drosophila_melanogaster/Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP5.70.gtf.gz
gunzip Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP5.70.gtf.gz

CRITICAL: Make sure that the gene annotation uses the same coordinate system as the reference FASTA le. Here, both les use BDGP5 (i. e., release 5 of the assembly provided by the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project), as is apparent from the le names. To be on the safe side here, we recommend to always download the FASTA reference sequence and the GTF annotation data from the same resource provider.

  • Ensembl.org provides both fasta and gtf files together. It's useful when we want to use Galaxy.
  • Broad also provides a link to download gtf and fasta file.

Preprocess reference FASTA files into an index (fasta -> bt2)

Alternatively, pre-built indices for many commonly-used genomes are available from http://tophat.cbcb.umd.edu/igenomes.html <Drosophila_melanogaster_Ensembl_BDGP5.tar.gz> contains genome.1.bt2, genome.2.bt2, genome.3.bt2, genome.fa, genome.rev.1.bt2, and genome.rev.2.bt2 under Drosophila_melanogaster/Ensembl/BDGP5/Sequence/Bowtie2Index/ directory. This takes about 4 minutes 37 seconds on my Core-i7 Laptop computer running xubuntu 12.04.

When I try to run bowtie2-build on mouse genome, it is extremely slow. Unfortunately bowtie2-build does not have "-p" option like bowtie2 to speed it up.

Align the reads to the reference genome using tophat2 (fastq -> bam, bed)

Note:

  1. '-p' specifies the number of threads to use, -o specifies the output directory. The first name (bowind) is the name of the index (built in advance).
  2. It seems even the program cannot find the reference genome, it still runs.
  3. The run time is about 3 to 4 hours per sample when 7 jobs were running at the same time (5 threads for each sample).
  4. If only one sample was run it took 45 minutes as the paper said (5 threads). If I specify 1 thread, the running time is 1 hour 44 minutes.
  5. If I only run 2 jobs using batch, it takes 1 hour and 1 hour 2 mintues to finish these two jobs.
  6. The input is fastq files. The output is a directory contains 7 files (including *.bam) and 1 subdirectory of logs.

Organize, sort and index the BAM files and create SAM files (bam -> sam)

Note

  1. Potentially we can run the commands in parallel. This step needs lots of disk I/O so it may be better not to run the command in parallel.
  2. Four steps:
    1. first step - Input: original aligned bam file. Output: <Untreated-3_sn.bam> (1.5 GB). sort alignment file by read name (-n option).
    2. Second step - Input: sorted bam file from 1st step. Output: <Untreated-3_sn.sam> (11 GB). BAM<->SAM conversion. The SAM file generated from these 2 steps will be used in HTSEQ-count.
    3. Third step - Input: original aligned bam file. Output: <Untreated-3_s.bam> (1.2 GB). sort alignment file by chromosomal coordinates.
    4. Fourth step - Input: sorted bam file from 3rd step. Output: <Untreated-3_s.bam.bai> (375 KB). index alignment. The SAM and BAI files generated from these 2 steps together with GTF file will be used in IGV.
  3. Examples how to use. See here
for(i in seq_len(nrow(samples))) {
 lib = samples$LibraryName[i]
 ob = file.path(lib, "accepted_hits.bam")
 # sort by name, convert to SAM for htseq-count

Inspect alignments with IGV

The following screenshot was taken from another (small) dataset. There are 100 sequences in the fq file. The reference genome has only 13 sequences. See also this post.

IGV.png IGV whole.png

To use IGV, we have to run samtools twice (one is to get sorted bam file, and the other is to get bai file). Both bam and bai files are binary.

  1. Genome -> Load genome from file -> test_ref.fa
  2. File -> load from file -> read_1.fq
  • Each seq from fa file will be connected together and shown on the bottom of IGV.
  • Mouse over a sequence will show "Read name" (we can go back to fastq file to double check the sequence), "Location" (the location from mouse over), "Alignment start" (the start position).
  • If there is a mismatch from a bp, it will be shown in a different color (T-red, C-blue, A-green, G-brown).
  • The histogram-like plot is called Coverage.
  • One sequence may be splitted after alignment.
  • In this example, we can count there are 72 sequences. This matches with the file in <align_summary.txt> where it shows the number of reads in input and number of mapped reads with percentage of mapped.

The code is given below

tophat -r 20 test_ref reads_1.fq reads_2.fq 
samtools sort tophat_out/accepted_hits.bam tophat_out_s
samtools index tophat_out_s.bam

The "-r" option is tophat is related to mate-inner-dist. See the discussion here.

Count reads using htseq-count (sam -> count)

gf = "Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP5.70.gtf"
cmd = paste0("htseq-count -s no -a 10 ",
            samples$LibraryName, "_sn.sam ",
            gf," > ", samples$countf)

A screenshot of the available tools is given below. Strangely, I did not find "NGS: RNA Analysis" in the NGS: ToolBox on left hand side.

We cannot upload > 2GB fastq data. For such large dataset (we have one 3.3 GB fastq in this case), Galaxy asks to use http or ftp to load the data. I install Apache in Ubuntu and put this fastq file there for upload.

Galaxy does not include bowtie, tophat, .... by default. See this post and Galaxy wiki about the installation. Another option is to modify line 614 of 'universe_wsgl.ini' file and enable ourselves as adminstrator. Also modify line 146 to add a path for installing tools through Galaxy Admin page.

If you submit a lot of jobs (eg each tophat2 generates 5 jobs) some of jobs cannot be run immediately. In my experience, there is a 25 jobs cap. Running jobs has a yellow background color. Waiting for run jobs has a gray background color.
