Installing Python dependencies

I recommend using Anaconda which makes installing all the Python packages much easier. If you already have Anaconda installed because you use Iso-Seq3 or cDNA_Cupcake, you can activate your current environment and directly go to step (4).

(1) Here's the generic Anaconda installation for Linux environment. Currently only Linux environment supported.

export PATH=$HOME/anacondaPy37/bin:$PATH
conda -V
conda update conda

(2) Create a virutal environment. I will call it anaCogent3. Type y to agree to the interactive questions.

conda create -n anaCogent3 python=3.7 anaconda
source activate anaCogent3

(3) Once you have activated the virtualenv, you should see your prompt changing to something like this:

(anaCogent3)-bash-4.1$

(4) Install additional required libraries:

conda install -n anaCogent3 -c bioconda pysam
conda install -n anaCogent3 psutil
conda install -n anaCogent3 biopython
conda install -n anaCogent3 -c bioconda bx-python
conda install -n anaCogent3 -c bioconda bcbiogff
conda install -n anaCogent3 -c bioconda gffread

We also need to install gtfToGenePred that seems to have some issues with Python 3.7 (or openssl). At this point, the easiest solution is to download it from UCSC Download Page and add the binary to your $PATH variable:

export PATH=$PATH:<path_to>/gtfToGenePred

If you don't already have cDNA_Cupcake installed, you can do that now:

$ git clone https://github.com/Magdoll/cDNA_Cupcake.git
$ cd cDNA_Cupcake
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install

No installation for SQANTI2 itself is required. The scripts can be run directly.

Running SQANTI2

Activate the Anaconda environment. Make sure minimap2 works. Add cDNA_Cupcake/sequence to $PYTHONPATH.

$ source activate anaCogent3
(anaCogent3)-bash-4.1$ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<path_to>/cDNA_Cupcake/sequence/
(anaCogent3)-bash-4.1$ minimap2 --version
2.15-r905
  • Iso-Seq output. Preferably already mapped to the genome and collapsed to unique transcripts. (FASTA/FASTQ/GTF)
  • Reference annotation in GTF format. For example GENCODE or CHESS.
  • Reference genome, in FASTA format. For example hg38. Make sure your annotation GTF is based on the correct ref genome version!

Optionally:

Running SQANTI2 Classification

The script usage is:

python sqanti_qc2.py [-t cpus] [-n chunks]
     [--gtf] [--skipORF] 
     [-c shortread_STAR_junction_out] 
     [--cage_peak CAGE_PEAK_BED]
     [--polya_peak PolyA_PEAK_BED]
     [--polyA_motif_list POLYA_MOTIF_LIST]
     [--fl_count FL_COUNT]
     [--expression EXPRESSION]
     [--aligner_choice=minimap2,deSALT]
     [--is_fusion]
     <input_fasta> <annotation_gtf> <genome_fasta>

If you don't feel like running the ORF prediction part, use --skipORF. Just know that all your transcripts will be annotated as non-coding. If you have short read data, you can run STAR to get the junction file (usually called SJ.out.tab, see STAR manual) and supply it to SQANTI2.

If --aligner_choice=minimap2, the minimap2 parameter used currently is: minimap2 -ax splice --secondary=no -C5 -O6,24 -B4 -uf If --aligner_choice=deSALT, the deSALT parameter used currently is: deSALT aln -x ccs.

You can look at the MINIMAP2_CMD and DESALT_CMD in sqanti_qc2.py for the full command format.

There are two options related to parallelization. The first is -t (--cpus) that designates the number of CPUs used by the aliger. If your input is GTF (using --gtf option), the -t option has no effect. The second is -n (--chunks) that chunks the input (GTF or fasta) into chunks and run SQANTI2 in parallel before combining them. Note that if you have -t 30 -n 10, then each chunk gets (30/10=3) CPUs.

For example:

python sqanti_qc2.py -t 30 -n 10 --gtf example/test.gtf \
     gencode.v29.annotation.gtf hg38.fa \
     --fl_count example/test.chained_count.txt \
     --polyA_motif_list example/polyA.list \
     --polyA_peak example/hg38.polyA_sites.bed \
     --cage_peak hg38.cage_peak_phase1and2combined_coord.bed \
     -c "Public_Intronpolis/*10.modified"

For fusion transcripts, you must use the --is_fusion option for sqanti_qc2.py to work properly. Furthermore, the IDs in the input FASTA/FASTQ must have the format PBfusion.X, as is output by fusion_finder.py in Cupcake.

SQANTI2 Classification Output

You can look at the example subfolder for a sample output. The PDF file shows all the figures drawn using R script SQANTI_report2.R, taking the _classification.txt and _junctions.txt as the two input. If you know R well, you are free to modify the R script to add new figures! I will be constantly adding new figures as well.

Detailed explanation of _classification.txt and _junctions.txt below.

Supported since: version 4.1

sqanti_qc2.py supports single or multi-sample FL counts from PacBio Iso-Seq pipeline. There are three acceptable formats.

Single Sample FL Count

A single sample FL Count file is automatically produced by the Iso-Seq With Mapping pipeline in SMRTLink/SMRTAnalysis with the following format:

Multi Sample Chained FL Count

A multi-sample FL Count file produced by the chain_samples.py script in Cupcake will have the following format:

superPBID sample1 sample2
PB.1.2 3 NA
PB.2.1 2 NA
PB.3.1 2 2
PB.3.2 5 3
PB.3.3 5 2

This is a tab-delimited file.

Multi Sample Demux FL Count

A multi-sample Demux FL Count file produced by the demux_isoseq_with_genome.py script in Cupcake will have the following format:

id,sample1,sample2
PB.1.1,3,10
PB.1.2,0,11
PB.1.3,4,4

This is a comma-delimited file.

SQANTI2 output of FL Count information

For each sample provided through the --fl_count option, sqanti_qc2.py will create a column in the .classification.txt output file that is FL.<sample>. Note that this is the raw FL count provided.

When plotted, the script SQANTI_report2.R will convert the FL counts to TPM using the formula:

                           raw FL count for PB.X.Y in sample1
FL_TPM(PB.X.Y,sample1) = ------------------------------------- x 10^6
                               total FL count in sample1

Two additional columns, FL_TPM.<sample> and FL_TPM.<sample>_log10 will be added and output to a new classification file with the suffix .classification_TPM.txt.

Use --expression to optionally provide short read expression data. Two formats are supported.

Kallisto Expression Input

Kallisto expression files have the format:

target_id   length  eff_length  est_counts  tpm
PB.1.1  1730    1447.8  0   0
PB.1.3  1958    1675.8  0   0

PB.4.1  1660    1377.8  0   0
PB.5.1  2767    2484.8  0   0

RSEM expression files have the format:

transcript_id   gene_id length  effective_length        expected_count  TPM     FPKM    IsoPct  posterior_mean_count    posterior_standard

I've made a lightweight filtering script based on SQANTI2 output that filters for two things: (a) intra-priming and (b) short read junction support.

The script usage is:

usage: sqanti_filter2.py sqanti_class isoforms gtf_file
                         [--sam SAM] [--faa FAA] 
                         [-r RUNALENGTH] [-a INTRAPRIMING]
                         [-c MIN_COV] [-m MAX_DIST_TO_KNOWN_END]
                         [--filter_mono_exonic] 
                         [--skipGTF] [--skipFaFq] 
                         sqanti_class isoforms gtf_file
sqanti_filter2.py: error: the following arguments are required: sqanti_class, isoforms, gtf_file

python sqanti_filter2.py [classification] [fasta] [sam] [gtf]
         [-a INTRAPRIMING] [-c MIN_COV] [-m MAX_DIST_TO_KNOWN_END]

where -a determines the fraction of genomic 'A's above which the isoform will be filtered. The default is -a 0.6. -r is another option for looking at genomic 'A's that looks at the immediate run-A length. The default is -r 6.

-m sets the maximum distance to an annotated 3' end (the diff_to_gene_TTS field in classification output) to offset the intrapriming rule.

-c is the filter for the minimum short read junction support (looking at the min_cov field in .classification.txt), and can only be used if you have short read data.

For example:

python sqanti_filter2.py test_classification.txt \
                         test.renamed_corrected.fasta \
                         test.gtf

The current filtering rules are as follow:

  • If a transcript is FSM, then it is kept unless the 3' end is unreliable (intrapriming).
  • If a transcript is not FSM, then it is kept only if all of below are true: (1) 3' end is reliable (2) does not have a junction that is labeled as RTSwitching (3) all junctions are either canonical or has short read coverage above -c threshold

SQANTI/SQANTI2 categorizes each isoform by finding the best matching reference transcript in the following order:

  • FSM (Full Splice Match): meaning the reference and query isoform have the same number of exons and each internal junction agree. The exact 5' start and 3' end can differ by any amount.

  • ISM (Incomplete Splice Match): the query isoform has fewer 5' exons than the reference, but each internal junction agree. The exact 5' start and 3' end can differ by any amount.

  • NIC (Novel In Catalog): the query isoform does not have a FSM or ISM match, but is using a combination of known donor/acceptor sites.

  • NNC (Novel Not in Catalog): the query isoform does not have a FSM or ISM match, and has at least one donor or acceptor site that is not annotated.

  • Antisense: the query isoform does not have overlap a same-strand reference gene but is anti-sense to an annotated gene.

  • Genic Intron: the query isoform is completely contained within an annotated intron.

  • Genic Genomic: the query isoform overlaps with introns and exons.

  • Intergenic: the query isoform is in the intergenic region.

sqanti_explain

Some of the classifications have further subtypes (the subtype) field in SQANTI2 classification output. They are explained below.

ISM_subtype

Novel isoforms are subtyped based on whether they use a combination of known junctions (junctions are pairs of , sites), a combination of known splice sites (the individual donor and acceptor sites are known, but at least combination is novel), or at least one splice site (donor or acceptor) is novel.

NIC_subtype

The output .classification.txt has the following fields:

  1. isoform: the isoform ID. Usually in PB.X.Y format.
  2. chrom: chromosome.
  3. strand: strand.
  4. length: isoform length.
  5. exons: number of exons.
  6. structural_category: one of the categories ["full-splice_match", "incomplete-splice_match", "novel_in_catalog", "novel_not_in_catalog", "genic", "antisense", "fusion", "intergenic", "genic_intron"]
  7. associated_gene: the reference gene name.
  8. associated_transcript: the reference transcript name.
  9. ref_length: reference transcript length.
  10. ref_exons: reference transcript number of exons.
  11. diff_to_TSS: distance of query isoform 5' start to reference transcript start end. Negative value means query starts downstream of reference.
  12. diff_to_TTS: distance of query isoform 3' end to reference annotated end site. Negative value means query ends upstream of reference.
  13. diff_to_gene_TSS: distance of query isoform 5' start to the closest start end of any transcripts of the matching gene. This field is different from diff_to_TSS since it's looking at all annotated starts of a gene. Negative value means query starts downstream of reference.
  14. diff_to_gene_TTS: distance of query isoform 3' end to the closest end of any transcripts of the matching gene. Negative value means query ends upstream of reference.
  15. subcategory: additional splicing categorization, separated by semi-colons. Categories include: mono-exon, multi-exon. Intron rentention is marked with intron_retention.
  16. RTS_stage: TRUE if one of the junctions could be a RT switching artifact.
  17. all_canonical: TRUE if all junctions have canonical splice sites.
  18. min_sample_cov: sample with minimum coverage.
  19. min_cov: minimum junction coverage based on short read STAR junction output file. NA if no short read given.
  20. min_cov_pos: the junction that had the fewest coverage. NA if no short read data given.
  21. sd_cov: standard deviation of junction coverage counts from short read data. NA if no short read data given.
  22. FL or FL.<sample>: FL count associated with this isoform per sample if --fl_count is provided, otherwise NA.
  23. n_indels: total number of indels based on alignment.
  24. n_indels_junc: number of junctions in this isoform that have alignment indels near the junction site (indicating potentially unreliable junctions).
  25. bite: TRUE if all junctions match reference junctions completely.
  26. iso_exp: short read expression for this isoform if --expression is provided, otherwise NA.
  27. gene_exp: short read expression for the gene associated with this isoform (summing over all isoforms) if --expression is provided, otherwise NA.
  28. ratio_exp: ratio of iso_exp to gene_exp if --expression is provided, otherwise NA.
  29. FSM_class: ignore this field for now.
  30. ORF_length: predicted ORF length.
  31. CDS_length: predicted CDS length.
  32. CDS_start: CDS start.
  33. CDS_end: CDS end.
  34. CDS_genomic_start: genomic coordinate of the CDS start. If on - strand, this coord will be greater than the end.
  35. CDS_genomic_end: genomic coordinate of the CDS end. If on - strand, this coord will be smaller than the start.
  36. predicted_NMD: TRUE if there's a predicted ORF and CDS ends before the last junction; FALSE if otherwise. NA if non-coding.
  37. perc_A_downstreamTTS: percent of genomic "A"s in the downstream 20 bp window. If this number if high (say > 0.8), the 3' end site of this isoform is probably not reliable.
  38. seq_A_downstream_TTS: sequence of the downstream 20 bp window.
  39. dist_to_cage_peak: distance to closest TSS based on CAGE Peak data. Negative means upstream of TSS and positive means downstream of TSS. Strand-specific. SQANTI2 only searches for nearby CAGE Peaks within 10000 bp of the PacBio transcript start site. Will be NA if none are found within 10000 bp.
  40. within_cage_peak: TRUE if the PacBio transcript start site is within a CAGE Peak.
  41. dist_to_polya_site: distance to closest polyA site based on PolyA site data. Negative means upstream of closest site and positive means downstream of closest site. Strand-specific. SQANTI2 only searches for nearby CAGE Peaks within 100 bp of the PacBio transcript start site. Will be NA if none are found within 100 bp.
  42. within_polya_site: TRUE if the PacBio transcript polyA site is within 100 bp (upstream or downstream) of an annotated polyA site.
  43. polyA_motif: if --polyA_motif_list is given, shows the top ranking polyA motif found within 50 bp upstream of end.
  44. polyA_dist: if --polyA_motif_list is given, shows the location of the last base of the hexamer. Position 0 is the putative poly(A) site. This distance is hence always negative because it is upstream.

THe .junctions.txt file shows every junction for every PB isoform. NOTE because of this the same junction might appear multiple times if they are shared by multiple PB isoforms.

  1. isoform: Isoform ID
  2. junction_number: The i-th junction of the isoform
  3. chrom: Chromosome
  4. strand: Strand
  5. genomic_start_coord: Start of the junction (1-based), note that if on - strand, this would be the junction acceptor site instead.
  6. genomic_end_coord: End of the junction (1-based), note that if on - strand, this would be the junction donor site instead.
  7. transcript_coord: Currently not implemented. Ignore.
  8. junction_category: known if the (donor-acceptor) combination is annotated in the GTF file, novel otherwise. Note that it is possible to have a novel junction even though both the donor and acceptor site are known, since the combination might be novel.
  9. start_site_category: known if the junction start site is annotated. If on - strand, this is actually the donor site.
  10. end_site_category: known if the junction end site is annotated. If on - strand, this is actually the acceptor site.
  11. diff_to_Ref_start_site: distance to closest annotated junction start site. If on - strand, this is actually the donor site.
  12. diff_to_Ref_end_site: distance to closest annotated junction end site. If on - strand, this is actually the acceptor site.
  13. bite_junction: TRUE if either or both the junction start/end site matches annotation.
  14. splice_site: Splice motif.
  15. RTS_junction: TRUE if junction is predicted to a template switching artifact.
  16. indel_near_junct: TRUE if there is alignment indel error near the junction site, indicating potential junction incorrectness.
  17. sample_with_cov: If --coverage (short read junction coverage info) is provided, shows the number of samples (cov files) that have short read that support this junction.
  18. total_coverage: Total number of short read support from all samples that cover this junction.
