7 ## Requirements
|
|
8
|
|
9 * Linux
|
|
10 * primersearch from [EMBOSS](http://emboss.sourceforge.net/download/)
|
|
11 * install from the official website or
|
|
12 * install via conda `conda install -c bioconda emboss`

|
34 ## Usage example
|
|
35
|
|
36 For one sample analysis:
|
|
37 ```
|
|
38 python /your/path/to/MIRUReader.py -r sample.fasta -p sampleID > miru.txt
|
|
39 ```
|
|
40
|
|
41 For multiple samples analysis:
|
|
42 1. Create a mapping file (mappingFile.txt) that looks like:
|
|
43
|
|
44 sample_001.fasta sample_001 \
|
|
45 sample_002.fasta sample_002 \
|
|
46 ...
|
|
47
|
|
48 2. Then run the program:
|
|
49 ```
|
|
50 cat mappingFile.txt | while read -a line; do python /your/path/to/MIRUReader.py -r ${line[0]} -p ${line[1]}; done > miru.multiple.txt
|
|
51 ```
|
|
52
|
|
53 ## Output example
|
|
54
|
|
55 ```
|
|
56 sample_prefix 0154 0424 0577 0580 0802 0960 1644 1955 2059 2163b 2165 2347 2401 2461 2531 2687 2996 3007 3171 3192 3690 4052 4156 4348
|
|
57 sample_001 2 4 4 2 3 3 3 2 2 5 4 4 4 2 5 1 6 3 3 5 3 7 2 3
|
|
58 ```
|
|
59
|
|
60 Notes:
|
|
61 * The program is compatible to Python 2 and Python 3.
|
|
62 * Accepted reads file format includes '.fastq', '.fastq.gz', '.fasta', and '.fasta.gz'.
|
|
63 * The program output is a tab-delimited plain text which can be copied to or opened in Excel spreadsheet.

65 ## Full usage
|
|
66
|
|
67 | Main options | Description |
|
|
68 | ------------ | ----------- |
|
|
69 | -r READS | Input reads file in fastq/fasta format, can be gzipped or not gzipped |
|
|
70 | -p PREFIX | Sample ID required for naming output file. |
|
|
71 | --table TABLE | Allele calling table, default is MIRU_table. Can be user-defined in fixed format. However, providing custom allele calling table for other VNTR is not tested. |
|
|
72 | --primers PRIMERS | Primers sequences, default is MIRU_primers. Can be user-defined in fixed format. |
|
|
73
|
|
74
|
|
75 | Optional options | Description |
|
|
76 | ---------------- | ----------- |
|
|
77 | --amplicons | Use output from primersearch ("prefix.18.primersearch.out") and summarize MIRU profile directly. |
|
|
78 | --details | This option is for further inspection. It displays details of repeat count for each loci with total mismatch error in the primer sequences alignment. |
|
|
79 | --nofasta | Delete fasta file generated if your input read is in fastq format. |

81 ## FAQ
|
|
82 1. **Why are there two MIRU allele calling tables (MIRU_table and MIRU_table_0580)?**
|
|
83
|
|
84 MIRU loci 0580 (MIRU_table_0580) consist of a different numbering system for determination of repeat numbers as compared to the other 23 MIRU locus (MIRU_table) for MTBC isolates.

|

|

|
|
87 ## Troubleshooting
|
|
88 1. If an error message `OSError: primersearch is not found.` appears, please ensure your `primersearch` executable file is in your environment path (`echo $PATH`) and can be called directly.
