# phap - Phage Host Analysis Pipeline
A snakemake workflow that wraps various phage-host prediction tools.
[](https://snakemake.readthedocs.io)
* Uses
[Singularity](https://sylabs.io/) containers for execution of all tools.
When possible (i.e. the image is not larger than a few `G`s),
tools **and** their dependencies are bundled in the same container. This means
you do not need to get models or any other external databases.

To run the workflow your will need
- `snakemake > 5.x` (developed with `5.30.1`)
- `singularity >= 3.6` (developed with `3.6.3`)
The following python packages are also required to be installed and available
in the execution environment
It is recommended to use a
[conda environment](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/).
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`
>
> 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
```
$ git clone https://git.science.uu.nl/papanikos/phap.git
$ cd phap
# Note the long notation --file flag; -f will not work.
# Activate it - use the name you gave above, if it is different

* RaFaH, vHULK, HTP
For these tools there is no need to pre-download and setup anything - all
data and software dependencies required for running them are bundled within
their respective singularity image.
* 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.
### NCBI Taxonomy
The `ete3.NCBITaxa` class is used to get taxonomy information and calculate
the LCA of all predictions, when possible. This requires a `taxa.sqlite`
to be available either in its default location
( `$HOME/.ete3toolkit/taxa.sqlite` ) or provided in the config. See more about
that on
[http://etetoolkit.org/docs/latest/tutorial/tutorial_ncbitaxonomy.html]()
### 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).
These are pulled at runtime (or used from cache).
Alternatively, you can pull all `.sif` files from the cloud, store them locally
and use these in an offline mode (see below).
The `config_template.yaml` file provided with this repo has all available
configurable options. Short explanations are provided as commented blocks for
each option.
A configuration for the workflow must be available as a `config.yaml`
within the `config` directory. A separate `my_config.yaml` overriding the
options in the default config.yaml can be supplied at runtime, e.g.
```
$ snakemake --configfile=path/to/my_config.yaml \
<rest of snakemake options>
```
You can either copy the `config_template.yaml` and rename it to
`config.yaml` or make your edits straight on the template and rename it to
`config.yaml`.
All fields included in the template must be specified, unless otherwise stated
in the comment.
### 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
are used as sample identifiers. Their corresponding `fasta` values must be
valid paths to (multi)fasta files with the phage sequences for that sample.
$ cat samples.tsv
sample fasta
s01 /path/to/s01.fna
s02 /path/to/another.fna.gz
> 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
A dry-run (_always a good idea before each execution_)
```
(phap)$ snakemake -n --use-singluarity
--singularity-args "-B /path/to/databases/data:/data"
```
Basic:
```
# From within this directory
# Make sure you have defined a samplesheet
(phap)$ snakemake -p --use-singularity -j16 \
--singularity-args "-B /path/to/databases/data:/data"
where `/path/to/database/data` is the directory containing tables,
WIsH models and CRISPR blasts databases.
* The `-j` flag controls the number of jobs (cores) to be run in parallel.
Change this according yo your setup
* The `-p` flag prints commands that are scheduled for executing. You can
* remove this
* Binding the data dir with the `--signularity-args` is required (at least
in my tests). You **must also** provide it as a value in the config.yaml.
## 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:
```

│ └── raw.txt
├── rafah
│ ├── A_CDS.faa
│ ├── A_CDS.fna
│ ├── A_CDS.gff

each tool along with its confidence/p-value/whatever-single-value each tool
uses to evaluate its confidence in the prediction.

genome fastas (used as intermediate file to ensure smooth execution)
* File `filtered.fa.gz`: Fasta files containing sequences > 5000 bp.
* File `raw.txt`: The raw output of `htp` per contig
* File `predictions.tsv`: **Two**-column separated tsv with contig id and
probability of host being a phage.
* Files prefixed with `<sample_id>_` are the rafah's raw output
* `predictions.tsv`: A selection of the 1st (`Contig`) , 6th
(`Predicted_Host`) and 7th (`Predicted_Host_Score`) columns from file
`<sample_id>_Seq_Info.tsv`
* File `results.csv`: Copy of the `results/sample/tmp/genomes/results/results.csv`
* File `predictions.tsv`: A selection of the 1st (`BIN/genome`), 10th (`final_prediction`)
* Directories `feature_values` and `predictions` are the raw output
* Directory `tmp` is a temporary dir written by `VirHostMatcher-Net` for
doing its magic.
* File `predictions.tsv` contains contig, host taxonomy and scores.
* Files `llikelihood.matrix` and `prediction.list` are the raw output
* File `predictions.tsv` has contig, host taxonomy and **llikelihood** scores.
Logs capturing stdout and stderr during execution of each rule can be found in
**After successful execution** of the workflow, a (basic) html report with
summary statistics can be produced with
```
(phap)$ snakemake --use-singularity \
--singularity-args "-B path/to/data_dir:/data" --report phap.html
```
This will produce a `phap.html` file, making use of the information in the
`report` directory.
The `report` directory contains the two main aggregated tables from
[the per sample results directory](#per-sample) rendered as html documents.
These are accessible under the Results category of the main `phap.html`.
