# phap - Phage Host Analysis Pipeline

A snakemake workflow that wraps various phage-host prediction tools.

Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
* Uses 
[Singularity](https://sylabs.io/) containers for execution of all tools.
When possible (i.e. the built image is not larger than a few `G`s), 
tools **and** their dependencies are bundled in the same container. This means
tou do not need to worry about getting models or any other external databases.

- `snakemake > 5.x` (developed with `5.30.1`)
- `singularity >= 3.6` (developed with `3.6.3`)

### Conda environemnt

Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
It is recommended to use a 
[conda environment](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/).
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
The file `environment.txt` can be used to recreate the complete environment 
used during development.

> The provided `environment.txt` contains an explicit list of all packages,
> produced with `conda list -n phap --explicit > environment.txt` .
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
> This ensures all packages are exactly the same versions/builds, so we 
> minimize the risk of running into dependencies issues

To get a working environment
```
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
# Clone this repo and get in there
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
$ git clone https://git.science.uu.nl/papanikos/phap.git
$ cd phap

```

## Configuration

### Input data

The tools wrapped in this workflow expect phage sequences as input.
You should try to make sure that the input sequences you want to analyze 
correspond to phage genomes/contigs (or at least viruses).

You can probably input any valid fasta file but the 
[GIGO concept](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_in,_garbage_out) 
is probably applicable.


A separate workflow to identify phage/viral genomes/contigs is 
[What the Phage](https://github.com/replikation/What_the_Phage).

The current workflow can handle multiple samples. 
For each sample, **all viral contigs to be analyzed should be provided as a 
single multifasta** (can be `gz`ipped). 
A mapping between sample ids and their corresponding fasta file is provided as
a samplesheet (see below).

### Sample sheet

You must define a samplesheet with two tab (`\t`) separated columns. The
header line must contain two fields, `sample    fasta`. 
Values from the `sample` column must be unique and
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
are used as sample identifiers. Their corresponding `fasta` values must be
valid paths to (multi)fasta files with the phage sequences for that sample.
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed

An example
```
$ cat samples.tsv
sample	fasta
s01	/path/to/s01.fna
s02	/path/to/another.fna.gz
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
```

> Note
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
>
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
> There is no need to follow any convention for the fasta file name to 
> reflect the sample id. The values in the sample column are the ones to worry
> about, as these are the ones used as wildcards within the Snakefile.

You can
- Fill in the location of the samplesheet within the `config/config.yaml`.
- Drop the file in the workdir - **Attention**: It should be named `samples.tsv`
- Use `snakemake`'s `--config samplesheet=/path/to/my_samples.tsv` when
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
executing the wofkflow.

### Models and data dependencies
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
* RaFaH, vHULK, HTP
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed

Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
For these tools there is no need to pre-download and setup anything - all 
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
data and software dependencies required for running them are bundled within 
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
their respective singularity image.
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
* VirHostMatcher-Net, WIsH 

Databases and models need to be downloaded from the VirHostMatcher data repo
([see here](https://github.com/WeiliWw/VirHostMatcher-Net#downloading)). 
WIsH models for the 62,493 host genomes used in their paper are also provided
and are used here for WIsH predictions.

### Singularity containers

Definition files, along with documentation of how to use them to build 
the containers are in [resources/singularity](./resources/singularity).

The pre-built containers are all available through the 
[standard singularity library](https://cloud.sylabs.io/library/papanikos_182).

## Usage

Basic:
```
# From within this directory
# Make sure you have defined a samplesheet
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
(phap)$ snakemake --use-singularity -j16 \
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
      --singularity-args "-B /path/to/databases/:/data"
Nikos Pappas's avatar
Nikos Pappas committed
where `/path/to/database/` is the directory containing tables, WIsH models and
CRISPR blasts databases 

> Note
> 
> Binding the dir like this is required if the files are stored in some 
> shared location and not on the local filesystem.

## Output

All output is stored under a `results` directory within the main workdir.
Results are stored per sample according to the sample ids you provided in the
sample sheet.
For each sample, results for each tool are stored in directories named after 
the tool. An example looks like this:

```
$ tree -L2 results/A
