DESCRIPTION

This subcommand simulates genome sequencing reads taking into account the quality-profile and the genome-variation patterns, along with: raffle seed; coverage (depth); fragment mean and standard deviation; single-end (long and short fragments) and paired-end sequencing type; bam, sam, fastq.gz and fastq output formats and more.

INPUT

sandy genome expects as argument a fasta file with chromosome sequences. For example, the GENCODE human genome GRCh38.p13 fasta file.

OUTPUT

The output file generated will depend on the output-format (fastq, bam), on the join-paired-ends option (mate read pairs into a single file) and on the sequencing-type (single-end, paired-end). A file with the simulated coverage (${prefix}_coverage.tsv) for each chromosome (read counts) also accompanies the output file.

OPTIONS

--help

Print a brief help message and exits.

--man

Prints the manual page and exits.

--verbose

Prints log information to standard error

--prefix

Concatenates the prefix to the output-file name.

--output-dir

Creates output-file inside output-dir. If output-dir does not exist, it is created recursively

--output-format

Choose the output format. Available options are: bam, sam, fastq.gz, fastq. For bam option, --append-id is ignored, considering that the sequence identifier is splitted by blank character, so just the first field is included into the query name column (first column).

--join-paired-ends

By default, paired-end reads are put into two different files, prefix_R[12]_001.fastq(\.gz)?. If the user wants both outputs together, she can pass this option. If the --id does not have the escape character %R, it is automatically included right after the first field (blank separated values) as in id/%R - which resolves to id/1 or id/2. It is necessary to distinguish which read is R1/R2

--compression-level

Regulates the speed of compression using the specified digit (between 1 and 9), where "1" indicates the fastest compression method (less compression) and "9" indicates the slowest compression method (best compression). The default compression level is "6"

--append-id

Append string template to the defined template id. See Format

--id

Overlap the default defined template id: single-end %i.%U_%c_%s_%t_%n and paired-end %i.%U_%c_%s_%S_%E e.g. SR123.1_chr1_P_1001_1101 See Format

Format

A string Format is a combination of literal and escape characters similar to the way printf works. That way, the user has the freedom to customize the fastq sequence identifier to fit her needs. Valid escape characteres are:

Common escape characters

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Escape       Meaning
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 %i   	      instrument id composed by SR + PID
 %I           job slot number
 %q           quality profile
 %e           sequencing error
 %x           sequencing error position
 %R           read 1, or 2 if it is the paired-end mate
 %U           read number
 %r           read size
 %m           read mean
 %d           read standard deviation

 %v           genomic variation position ***
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** specific for genomic variation (genome simulation only)

Paired-end specific escape characters

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Escape       Meaning
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 %T           mate read start position
 %N           mate read end position
 %A           mate read start position regarding reference genome ***
 %B           mate read end position regarding reference genome ***
 %D           distance between the paired-reads
 %M           fragment mean
 %D           fragment standard deviation
 %f           fragment size
 %F           fragment strand
 %S           fragment start position
 %E           fragment end position
 %X           fragment start position regarding reference genome ***
 %Z           fragment end position regarding reference genome ***
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** specific for genomic variation (genome simulation only)
--jobs

Sets the number of child jobs to be created

--seed

Sets the seed of the base generator. The ability to set the seed is useful for those who want reproducible simulations. Pay attention to the number of jobs (--jobs) set, because each job receives a different seed calculated from the main seed. So, for reproducibility, the same seed set before needs the same number of jobs set before as well.

--read-mean

Sets the read mean if quality-profile is equal to 'poisson'. The quality-profile from database overrides the read-size

--read-stdd

Sets the read standard deviation if quality-profile is equal to 'poisson'. The quality-profile from database overrides the read-stdd

--coverage

Calculates the number of reads based on the genome coverage: number_of_reads = (sequence_size * coverage) / read_size. This is the default option for genome sequencing simulation

--sequencing-type

Sets the sequencing type to single-end or paired-end

--fragment-mean

If the sequencing-type is set to paired-end, it sets the fragment mean

--fragment-stdd

If the sequencing-type is set to paired-end, it sets the fragment standard deviation

--sequencing-error

Sets the sequencing error rate if quality-profile is equal to 'poisson'. Valid values are between zero and one

--quality-profile

Sets the sequencing system profile for quality. The default value is a poisson distribution, but the user can choose among several profiles stored into the database or import his own data. See quality command for more details

--genomic-variation

Sets the genomic variation to be applied on the genome feeded. By default no variation is included to the simulation, but the user has the power to point some entries from variation database or index his own data. This option accepts a list with comma separated values and can be passed multiple times, which is useful in order to join various types of genomic variation into the same simulation. It is possible to combine this option with --genomic-variation-regex See variation command for the available list of genomic variation entries

--genomic-variation-regex

Applies perl-regex in the variation database and selects all entryes that match the pattern. This option accepts a list with comma separated values and can be passed multiple times. It is possible to combine this option with --genomic-variation See variation command for the available list of genomic variation entries

EXAMPLES

The following command will produce two fastq.gz files (paired-end), with a coverage of 20x and a ${prefix}_coverage.tsv file with the read counts.

$ sandy genome \
--verbose \
--jobs=10 \
--sequencing-type=paired-end \
--coverage=20 hg38.fa 2> sim.log

or, equivalently:

$ sandy genome -v -j 10 -t paired-end -c 20 hg38.fa 2> sim.log

Using a seed for reproducibility.

$ sandy genome --seed=1717 my_fasta.fa

To simulate reads with a specific quality-profile other than the default poisson:

$ sandy genome --quality-profile=hiseq_101 hg19.fa

To see the current list of available quality-profiles:

$ sandy quality

And in order to learn how to add your custom quality-profile, see:

$ sandy quality add --help

Sequence identifiers (first lines of fastq entries) may be customized in output using a format string passed by the user. This format is a combination of literal and escaped characters, in a similar fashion to that used in C programming language’s printf function. For example, let’s simulate a paired-end sequencing and add the read length, read position and mate position into all sequence identifiers:

$ sandy genome \
--id="%i.%U read=%c:%t-%n mate=%c:%T-%N length=%r" \
hg38.fa

In this case, results would be:

==> Into R1
@SR.1 read=chr6:979-880 mate=chr6:736-835 length=100
...
==> Into R2
@SR.1 read=chr6:736-835 mate=chr6:979-880 length=100

See Format section for details.

An important feature of Sandy is to simulate a genome with genomic-variation. So to exemplify, let's simulate a genome which includes the fusion between the genes NPM1 and ALK:

$ sandy genome --genomic-variation=fusion_hg38_NPM1-ALK hg38.fa

To see the current list of available genomic-variation

$ sandy variation

And in order to learn how to add your custom genomic-variation, see:

$ sandy variation add --help

Putting all together:

$ sandy genome \
--verbose \
--jobs=10 \
--sequencing-type=paired-end \
--seed=1717 \
--quality-profile=hiseq_101 \
--id="%i.%U read=%c:%t-%n mate=%c:%T-%N length=%r" \
--genomic-variation=fusion_hg38_NPM1-ALK \
hg38.fa 2> sim.log
