Python Package Usage

1. Please install Anoconda first.

2. Install this package with pip.

pip install run-dbcan==2.0.2 --user

3. Install dependencies with conda.

conda install -c bioconda diamond hmmer=3.1b2 prodigal fraggenescan

4. Database Installation.

test -d db || mkdir db
cd db \
    && wget http://bcb.unl.edu/dbCAN2/download/Databases/CAZyDB.07312018.fa && diamond makedb --in CAZyDB.07312018.fa -d CAZy \
    && wget http://bcb.unl.edu/dbCAN2/download/Databases/dbCAN-HMMdb-V8.txt && mv dbCAN-HMMdb-V8.txt dbCAN.txt && hmmpress dbCAN.txt \
    && wget http://bcb.unl.edu/dbCAN2/download/Databases/tcdb.fa && diamond makedb --in tcdb.fa -d tcdb \
    && wget http://bcb.unl.edu/dbCAN2/download/Databases/tf-1.hmm && hmmpress tf-1.hmm \
    && wget http://bcb.unl.edu/dbCAN2/download/Databases/tf-2.hmm && hmmpress tf-2.hmm \

    && wget http://bcb.unl.edu/dbCAN2/download/Samples/EscheriaColiK12MG1655.gff

5. (Optional) SignalP Installation. Our program include Signalp Petitide prediction with SignalP. Make sure to set use_signalP=True and have to obtain your own academic license of SignalP and download it from here, and then move tarball (Signalp-4.1.tar.gz) into run_dbcan/tools/ by yourself. Following statement is singalP-4.0 installation instruction.

mkdir -p run_dbcan/tools && run_dbcan/tools/
tar xzf Signalp-4.1.tar.gz && cd Signalp-4.1

Edit the paragraph labeled "GENERAL SETTINGS, CUSTOMIZE ..." in the top of the file 'signalp'. The following twovmandatory variables need to be set:

SIGNALP		full path to the signalp-4.1 directory on your system
outputDir	where to store temporary files (writable to all users)

In addition, for practical reasons, it is possible to limit the number of input sequences allowed per run (MAX_ALLOWED_ENTRIES). For example:

###############################################################################
#               GENERAL SETTINGS: CUSTOMIZE TO YOUR SITE
###############################################################################

# full path to the signalp-4.1 directory on your system (mandatory)
BEGIN {
    $ENV{SIGNALP} = '/home/abc/Desktop/run_dbcan/tools/signalp-4.1';
}

# determine where to store temporary files (must be writable to all users)
my $outputDir = "/home/abc/Desktop/run_dbcan/tools/signalp-4.1/output";

# max number of sequences per run (any number can be handled)
my $MAX_ALLOWED_ENTRIES=100000;

And then, use this command:

sudo cp signalp /usr/bin/signalp
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/signalp

6. Check Program.

run_dbcan.py EscheriaColiK12MG1655.fna prok --out_dir output_EscheriaColiK12MG1655

Docker version Usage(Don't Use it, because of revising, Please use Python Package above instead )

1. Make sure docker is installed on your computer successfully.
2. Docker pull image

docker pull haidyi/run_dbcan:latest

3. Run. Mount input sequence file and output directory to the container.

docker run --name <preferred_name> -v <host-path>:<container-path> -it haidyi/run_dbcan:latest python run_dbcan.py <input_file> [params] --out_dir <output_dir>

Update info

• 10/08/2019 We create a python package. Be sure to install Anaconda or Miniconda first, and then use the following commands to install our program one time. We strongly recommend you to use virtual environment to seperate your own system and this executive scripts. Please make sure to use conda install -c bioconda diamond hmmer=3.1b2 prodigal fraggenescan and database installation script to have the appropriate dependencies and database installed and configured. Thanks for suggestion and contribution from tesujimath .

• 04/15/2019 We created a docker image of run_dbcan. Make sure to install docker properly. Thanks for suggestion and contributions from Haidyi.

• 1/10/2019 We rewritted program and added stp hmmdb signature gene in CGC_Finder.py (stp means signal transduction proteins; the hmmdb was constructed by Catherine Ausland of the Yin lab at NIU). Then Change tfdb from tfdb to tf.hmm, which is added to db/ directory (tfdb was a fasta format sequence file, which contains just bacterial transcription factor proteins; tf.hmm is a hmmer format file containing hmms downloaded from the Pfam and SUPERFAMILY database according to the DBD database: http://www.transcriptionfactor.org). Also, our project updates dbCAN-HMM db(V8) and CAZy db. Furthermore, we fixed bugs in HotPep python version to fit python 3 user. Last but not least, we added certain codes to make it robust. Thanks for hmmscan-parser.py suggestion from Mick.

REQUIREMENTS

TOOLS

P.S.: You do not need to download CGCFinder, Hotpep-Python and hmmscan-parser because they are included in run_dbcan V2. If you use python package or docker, you don't need to download Prodigal and FragGeneScan because they includes these denpendencies. Otherwise we recommend you to install and copy them into /usr/bin as system application or add their path into system envrionmental profile.

[Python3]--Be sure to use python3, not python2

DIAMOND-- please install from github as instructions.

HMMER--Please download 3.1b2version in 2015, the newest version is not suitable wget http://eddylab.org/software/hmmer/hmmer-3.1b2.tar.gz and add variable to your environment

run_dbcan.py [inputFile] [inputType] [-c AuxillaryFile] [-t Tools] etc.

Several files will be produced via run_dbcan.py. They are as follows:

uniInput - The unified input file for the rest of the tools
		(created by prodigal or FragGeneScan if a nucleotide sequence was used)

Hotpep.out - the output from the Hotpep run

diamond.out - the output from the diamond blast

hmmer.out - the output from the hmmer run

tf.out - the output from the diamond blast predicting TF's for CGCFinder

tc.out - the output from the diamond blast predicting TC's for CGCFinder

cgc.gff - GFF input file for CGCFinder

cgc.out - ouput from the CGCFinder run

overview.txt - Details the CAZyme predictions across the three tools with signalp results

EXAMPLE

An example setup is available in the example directory. Included in this directory are two FASTA sequences (one protein, one nucleotide).

To run this example type, run:

run_dbcan.py EscheriaColiK12MG1655.fna prok --out_dir output_EscheriaColiK12MG1655

or

run_dbcan.py EscheriaColiK12MG1655.faa protein --out_dir output_EscheriaColiK12MG1655

While this example directory contains all the databases you will need (already formatted) and the Hotpep and FragGeneScan programs, you will still need to have the remaining programs installed on your machine (DIAMOND, HMMER, etc.).

To run the examples with CGCFinder turned on, run:

run_dbcan.py EscheriaColiK12MG1655.fna prok -c cluster --out_dir output_EscheriaColiK12MG1655

or

run_dbcan.py EscheriaColiK12MG1655.faa protein -c EscheriaColiK12MG1655.gff --out_dir output_EscheriaColiK12MG1655

Notice that the protein command has a GFF file following the -c option. A GFF or BED format file with gene position information is required to run CGCFinder when using a protein input.
