# Introduction

MACARON (Multi-bAse Codon-Associated variant Re-annotatiON) is a python framework to identify and re-annotate multi-base affected codons in whole genome/exome sequence data. Starting from a standard VCF file, MACARON identifies, re-annotates and predicts the amino acid change resulting from multiple single nucleotide variants (SNVs) within the same genetic codon. 

The information below includes how to install and run MACARON to filter a list of variant records (from VCF file) called by any existing SNP-based variant caller to identify SNVs with the same genetic codon and correct their corresponding amino acid change.

See latest [News](https://github.com/waqasuddinkhan/MACARON-GenMed-LabEx/wiki/News???) and [Updates](https://github.com/waqasuddinkhan/MACARON-GenMed-LabEx/wiki#updates) on [MACARON-GenMed-LabEx Wiki page](https://github.com/waqasuddinkhan/MACARON-GenMed-LabEx/wiki).

# Installation

### Operating System Guidelines

MACARON is know to run on LINUX UBUNTU 16.04 LTS. However, MACARON can be run on any other LINUX version.

### Runtime Pre-requisite

__1.__ MACARON is executable in __PYTHON v2.7 or later__. If the user has multiple PYTHON versions, please make sure that your running environment is set to the required version of PYTHON.

__2.__ Check your __JAVA__ version as MACARON is tested with:

      java -version
      openjdk version __"1.8.0_151"__
      OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-8u151-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.2-b12)
      OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)

### Software Dependencies

Before running MACARON, please make sure that following software are installed properly:

__1.__ __Genome-Analysis Toolkit__ (https://software.broadinstitute.org/gatk/download/).

__2.__ __SnpEff__ (tested with __v4.3__ (build 2017-05-05 18:41). However, MACARON can also run with any older or newer version (http://snpeff.sourceforge.net/download.html).

__3.__ __SAMTools__ (tested with version __0.1.19__), however any version can be used.

__4.__ __Human Reference Genome__: Depends on user’s input.

__5.__ __SnpEff’s Human Annotation Database__: Depends on user’s input.

For __1__ and __2__, as long as they are compatible with JAVA, MACARON has no issues.

### Downloading the Source Code

The most prefered way to use the lastest version of MACARON is:

      git clone https://github.com/waqasuddinkhan/MACARON-GenMed-LabEx.git

or download the ZIP folder.

MACARON source code can also be downloaded from http://www.genmed.fr/images/publications/data/MACARON_GenMed.zip

After acquiring a release distribution of the source code, the build procedure is to unpack the zip file:

      unzip MACARON_GenMed.zip

### Contents of the folder MACARON_GenMed

* *MACARON*  –  The MACARON python code
* *MACARON_validate.sh*  –  a BASH-shell script to validate multi-SNVs located on the same read that affect the same genetic codon

# Running the MACARON

### Input Requirements

Before running MACARON, check these __input technical notes__ as the following limitations exist for either the input VCF file, or the required software dependencines:

* Chromosome (chr) notation should be compatible with both input VCF file and Human Reference Genome file, or vice versa,

* Sequence dictionaries of input VCF file and Human Reference Genome file should be the same,

* Input VCF file (should) suitably be annotated with ANNOVAR, and additionally with any other annotation software, e.g, VEP (https://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/tools/vep/index.html) if the user has a desire to get the full functionality of -f option (see [Advanced Options](#advanced-options) below),

* Same Human Reference Genome file should be used for MACARON which is practiced earlier for alignemnt and (or) to call variant sets,

* Versions of input VCF file, Human Reference Genome file and SnpEff database file should be the same (hg19 / GRCh37 = SnpEff GRCh37.75) or (hg38 / GRCh38 = SnpEff GRCh38.86).

### Default Options

For a full list of MACARON executable options, run:

      python MACARON -h

By default, MACARON depends on the `GLOBAL VARIABLES` set in the script before run:

      ## GLOBAL VARIABLES (IMPORTANT: You can set the default values here)
      GATK="/home/wuk/software/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar"
      #GATK="/home/wuk/software/gatk-4.0.1.2/gatk-package-4.0.1.2-local.jar"
      HG_REF="/home/wuk/Working/gnme_refrnces/Homo_sapiens_assembly19.fasta"
      SNPEFF="/home/wuk/software/snpEff/snpEff.jar"
      SNPEFF_HG="GRCh37.75" ## SnpEff genome version

To run MACARON with __GATK <4.0__ versions, simply type:

      python MACARON -i test_input.vcf

If running with __GATK >= 4.0__ versions, make following changes:

      #GATK="/home/wuk/software/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar"
      GATK="/home/wuk/software/gatk-4.0.1.2/gatk-package-4.0.1.2-local.jar"
      HG_REF="/home/wuk/Working/gnme_refrnces/Homo_sapiens_assembly19.fasta"
      SNPEFF="/home/wuk/software/snpEff/snpEff.jar"
      SNPEFF_HG="GRCh37.75" ## SnpEff genome version

and run with:

      python MACARON -i test_input.vcf --gatk4

### demo Folder

To help verify a successful installation, MACARON includes a small demo data set:

* *variants_of_interest.vcf* –  a test VCF file to check the functionality of MACARON
* *MACARON_output.txt*  –  The output file generated by running the MACARON
* *sub1.chr22_21349676-21349677.sample02.bam*  –  a subset of BAM file used as input for MACARON_validate.sh
* *MACARON_validate.txt*  –  The output file with read count information of concerned pcSNV in sample02 (in this case).
(All files are referenced with hg19)

`cd` to `demo` folder and run:

      python ../MACARON -i variants_of_interest.vcf

MACARON_output.txt is the default output file name of MACARON. User can change it with `-o` option.

      python ../MACARON -i variants_of_interest.vcf -o variants_of_interest.txt

### Advanced Options

MACARON can be run by invoking paths directly set from the command-line:

```bash
python ../MACARON -i variants_of_interest.vcf --GATK /home/wuk/software/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar --HG_REF /home/wuk/Working/gnme_refrnces/Homo_sapiens_assembly19.fasta --SNPEFF /home/wuk/software/snpEff/snpEff.jar --SNPEFF_HG GRCh37.75
```
* For __GATK >= 4.0__ versions:

```bash
python ../MACARON -i variants_of_interest.vcf --gatk4 --GATK /home/wuk/software/ --HG_REF /home/wuk/Working/gnme_refrnces/Homo_sapiens_assembly19.fasta --SNPEFF /home/wuk/software/snpEff/snpEff.jar --SNPEFF_HG GRCh37.75
```
MACARON can add additional fields, besdies the dafault (see [MACARON Reporting Format](#macaron-reporting-format)) by using `-f` option:

* `-f CSQ` (if input VCF file is additionally annotated with VEP, the output txt file also has the same complete annotation for each variant record)

* `-f EFF` (if user wants to output SnpEff annotations in output txt file), or -f ANN (if SnpEff is used without -formatEff option)

* `-f QUAL,DP,AF,Func.refGene,Gene.refGene,GeneDetail.refGene` (this will keep any other default annotations of input VCF file and of ANNOVAR to output txt file)

-f can be used multiple times, e.g.,

* `-f CSQ,DP,Func.refGene`
or
* `-f FILTER,EFF,CSQ,AF`

The order of the fields in the output txt file depends on the order of INFO field headers used in `-f`.

```bash
python ../MACARON -i variants_of_interest.vcf --gatk4 --GATK /home/wuk/software/ --HG_REF /home/wuk/Working/gnme_refrnces/Homo_sapiens_assembly19.fasta --SNPEFF /home/wuk/software/snpEff/snpEff.jar --SNPEFF_HG GRCh37.75 -f QUAL,FILTER,SIFT_pred 
```
Without `-f` option, `QUAL` field is outputted as default.If user wants to keep `QUAL` along with any other field, `-f` should mentiond `QUAL` in addition to other field headers: `-f QUAL,FILTER,SIFT_pred`. If only `-f SIFT_pred` is used, `QUAL` field is over-written by `SIFT_pred` field.

# MACARON Reporting Format

MACARON outputs a table text file with the following format specifications:

```

# Validating SNVs Existed on the Same Reads

**NB: You do not need to run this step if you already used phased VCF file to run MACARON**

To confirm the existence of multi-SNVs within the same genetic codon, an accessory BASH-shell script [MACARON_validate.sh](MACARON_validate.sh) calculates the read count information of affected bases. This script requires as an input subset of BAM files (should be the same that used to generate the input VCF file) covering 50 bps over each SnpCluster.

Subset of any BAM file can be generated by using the following command:

`
samtools view –hb –L sub1.bed sample02.bam > sub1.chr22_21349676-21349677.sample02.bam
`

In this case, our big BAM file `sample02.bam` (not provided here, obviously!!!) is subsetted as `sub1.chr22_21349676-21349677.sample02.bam` (see [demo](demo) folder) for the position `chr22:21349676`. The naming format of output BAM file should be the same. The `sub1.bed` file has 1 tab-seperated line:

`chr22 21349676`

representing the first position of SnpCluster (SNV1 only).
      
Once subset BAM file(s) are generated, run MACARON_validate.sh:

`MACARON_validate.sh sub1.chr22_21349676-21349677.sample02.bam`

This will generate an output text file (`MACARON_validate.txt`) allowing the user for further analysis.

      sub1 chr22:21349676-21349677 sample02
            1 AA
            1 T
            11 AT
            14 TC
