HaROLD reconstructs haplotypes based on identifying co-varying variant frequencies using a probabilistic framework. For more details, please refer to our paper in Virus Evolution.
HaROLD requires Java 8 (or newer). Download pre-built binaries from releases.
This step might not be necessary depending on software used for alignment. Tested with bam files produced by Bbmap and bwa. Convert the BAM files using Samtools.
samtools view -h -G69 to.convert.bam | samtools view -h -G133 > file.bamFor every sample, generate a strandcount.csv from the BAM file (some examples of this step can be found in the "example" folder)

/Your-path-to-HaROLD/jar/MakeReadCount.jar makereadcount.MakeReadCount file.bamHaROLD requires as input file only a list of strandcount.csv files. Longitudinal data are listed together, but separate samples from different runs need to be submitted separately. Data and examples used in the simulation in the paper can be found in the "simulation" folder. For example, if you have 4 longitudinal samples from the same patient, your sample.txt will look like:
sampleA_timepoint1.strandcount.csv
sampleA_timepoint2.strandcount.csv
sampleA_timepoint3.strandcount.csv
sampleA_timepoint4.strandcount.csvView program options:

java -jar /your-path-to-HaROLD/jar/Cluster_RG/dist/HaROLD-2.0.jar \
--count-file sample.txt --haplotypes 4 --alpha-frac 0.5 --gamma-cache 10000 \
-H -L --threads 4 -p /your-path-to-results/Step1_resultsThis step produces three output files:
- your-path-to-results/Step1_results.log: log file
- your-path-to-results/Step1_results.fasta: haplotypes fasta sequences
- your-path-to-results/Step1_results.lld: base frequency file
The log file (your-path-to-results/Step1_results.log) provides the total likelihood for the model (at the end of log file, "Main: Final total likelihood"). You should try different numbers and choose the number of haplotypes that gives you the highest likelihood. However, the following step will help to find the best number.
The algorithm takes a set of reads for different samples and calculates the optimal probability of the haplotypes for each of the samples as well as the optimal sequences of the haplotypes. We are going to adjust the haplotype frequencies and sequences, use these values to assign reads,and then calculate log likelihood based on these assigned reads. The required input files are:
- output files from Harold step1
- reference sequence in Fasta format
- BAM files
