torchtree-experiments

This repository contains the pipeline and data supporting the results of the following article:

Fourment M et al. ... coming soon...

Data

SARS-CoV-2

We reproduce the SARS-CoV-2 analysis perfomed by Magee et al., 2023. Detailed information on installing the appropriate versions of BEAST and BEAGLE is available on their GitHub repository. Due to data sharing limitations, sequences need to be downloaded from GISAID and the alignment (FASTA format) needs to be provided to the pipeline. The GISAID accession IDs are available in acknowledgements_table.xlsx.

Dependencies

To execute this pipeline, it is necessary to install nextflow. Docker is not required but it is highly recommended to use it due to the numerous dependencies.

Installation

git clone 4ment/torchtree-experiments.git
cd torchtree-experiments/
chmod +x bin/*.py

Pipeline without docker/singularity

Installing dependencies with conda

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate torchtree-experiments

git clone https://github.com/4ment/physher
cmake -S physher/ -B physher/build -DBUILD_CPP_WRAPPER=on -DBUILD_TESTING=on -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$CONDA_PREFIX/envs/torchtree-experiments
cmake --build physher/build/ --target install
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:$CONDA_PREFIX/envs/torchtree-experiments/lib

git clone http://github.com/4ment/torchtree.git
pip install torchtree/
git clone http://github.com/4ment/torchtree-physher.git
pip install torchtree-physher/
pip install torchtree-scipy=1.0.0

Running the pipeline

nextflow run main.nf -profile conda --sc2 sc2.fa

sc2.fa is the sequence alignment file containing the SARS-CoV-2 sequences (see SARS-CoV-2 section for more details)

Pipeline with docker or singularity

There is no need to install dependencies with docker or singularity.

Running the pipeline with docker

nextflow run main.nf -profile docker --sc2 sc2.fa

Running the pipeline with singularity and PBS

nextflow -C configs/uts.config run main.nf -profile singularity --sc2 sc2.fa

Since the pipeline will take weeks to run to completion one should use a high performance computer. An example of configuration file for PBS Pro can be found in the configs folder.

Summarizing results

All R packages used for plotting the results can be installed using renv. This command needs to be run only once.

Rscript -e 'renv::restore()'

Generate figures in a single pdf:

Rscript -e 'rmarkdown::render("index.Rmd")'

Note:

rmarkdown requires pandoc to be installed. The conda environment provided in this repo include pandoc. It is also possible to use RStudio to run the index.Rmd script.

Program and library versions

For reproducibility, we provide below the version of each library/program used in the benchmark.

Program/Library	Version
physher	2.0.1
torchtree	1.0.1
torchtree-physher	1.0.1
torchtree-scipy	1.0.0
pytorch	1.12.1

The R scripts use the skyplotr package, and it is downloadable using devtools:

Rscript -e 'devtools::install_github("4ment/skyplotr", ref="8abc10a")'
