SARS-CoV-2 analysis pipeline for multiplex-PCR MPS(Massive Parrallel Sequencing) data.

This pipeline could accurately and efficiently identify SARS-CoV-2 reads from multiplex PCR sequencing data, and report the infection status of sequencing samples with positive/negative/uncertain label. The pipeline could also get the variant information such as SNP/INDEL and generate the consensus sequence.

Before running this pipeline, you need to make sure that several pieces of software and/or modules are installed on the system:

Perl: >=v5.22.0
Python: >=v3.4.3
R: >=v3.3.2

Library for Python3 and R:

• Python3: pysam,pandas,openpyxl
• R: Cairo

Softwares for data quality control:

• seqtk v1.2 (https://github.com/lh3/seqtk)
• SOAPnuke v2.1.7 (https://github.com/BGI-flexlab/SOAPnuke)

Software for alignment and bam file statistics:

• BWA v0.7.16 (https://github.com/lh3/bwa)
• Samtools v1.3 (https://github.com/samtools/samtools)
• bamdst v1.0.6 (https://github.com/shiquan/bamdst)

Software for variant calling:

• freebayes v1.3.0 (https://github.com/ekg/freebayes)

Other required softwares:

• bedtools v2.26.0 (https://bedtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
• bcftools v1.6 (https://github.com/samtools/bcftools/)
• tabix v1.9 (https://github.com/samtools/tabix/)

• mosdepth v0.2.9 (https://github.com/brentp/mosdepth)

To clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/MGI-tech-bioinformatics/SARS-CoV-2_Multi-PCR_v1.0.git

To install the required software:

cd SARS-CoV-2_Multi-PCR_v1.0; sh install.sh

Notes:

• The install.sh will install the required software to SARS-CoV-2_Multi-PCR_v1.0/tools, if the software are not working,the above dependent software needs to be installed separately according to their instructions. The Perl,Python,R and their library need to be installed by users. After installing, users should edit the input.json file and change the software path to your own path.
• This software is adapted to the MGI product ATOPlex RNA Library Prep Set which includes different versions depending on the primers, Current versions are as follows:
  ATOPlex RNA Library Prep. Set 1000027431, V2.0
  ATOPlex RNA Library Prep. Set 1000023556, V1.1
• According to the different versions of the kit, you need to specify the corresponding version information in the json file through the primer_version field.[1.1/2.0]

The details for input.json file are as follows:

• FqType, sequencing type(PE100/SE50...).
• sample_list, sample list file(sample_name/barcode_information/data_path).
• workdir, analysis result directory.
• SplitData, downsampling size of each sample(1G/1M/1K).
• SOAPnuke_param, param of SOAPnuke.
• freebayes_param, param of freebayes.In particular,the parameter '-H -p 1' is necessary.
• consensus_depth, threshold of point depth for consensus sequence.[1~20.Default:10]
• python3, path to python3.
• python3_lib, path to python3 library.
• Rscript, path to Rscript.
• R_lib, path to R library.
• primer_version, version informations of data.[1.1/2.0.Default:2.0]
• tools(bwa,samtools....), path to this tool.

Notes

1. All requirements and software are install in docker image, there is no need to configure the software path in json file.

   Json Demo:

    {
      "FqType": "PE", 
      "sample_list": "/data/test/sample.list", 
      "workdir": "/data/test/analysis", 
      "SplitData": "1M", 
      "freebayes_param": "-H -p 1 -q 20 -m 60 --min-coverage 20 -F 0.6", 
      "consensus_depth": "10", 
      "primer_version": "2.0" 
    }

2. $workdir is defined in json with "workdir", $datadir is defined in sample.list
