Table of Contents

Introduction

TideHunter is an efficient and sensitive tandem repeat detection and consensus calling tool which is designed for tandemly repeated long-read sequence (INC-seq, R2C2, NanoAmpli-Seq).

It works with Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing data at error rates up to 20% and does not have any limitation of the maximal repeat pattern size.

Installation

Installing TideHunter via conda

On Linux/Unix and Mac OS, TideHunter can be installed via

conda install -c bioconda tidehunter

Building TideHunter from source files

You can also build TideHunter from source files. Make sure you have gcc (>=6.4.0) and zlib installed before compiling. It is recommended to download the latest release of TideHunter from the release page.

wget https://github.com/yangao07/TideHunter/releases/download/v1.5.5/TideHunter-v1.5.5.tar.gz
tar -zxvf TideHunter-v1.5.5.tar.gz
cd TideHunter-v1.5.5; make

Or, you can use git clone command to download the source code. Don't forget to include the --recursive to download the codes of abPOA. This gives you the latest version of TideHunter, which might be still under development.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/yangao07/TideHunter.git
cd TideHunter; make

Input

TideHunter works with FASTA, FASTQ, gzip'd FASTA(.fa.gz) and gzip'd FASTQ(.fq.gz) formats.

Adapter sequence

Additional adapter sequence files can be provided to TideHunter with -5 and -3 options.

TideHunter uses adapter information to search for the full-length sequence from the generated consensus.

Once two adapters are found, TideHunter trims and reorients the consensus sequence.

Output

TideHunter can output consensus sequence in FASTA format by default, it can also provide output in tabular format.

Tabular format

For tabular format, 9 columns will be generated for each consensus sequence:

No. Column name Explanation
1 readName the original read name
2 repN N is the ID number of the tandem repeat, within each read, starts from 0
3 copyNum copy number of the tandem repeat
4 readLen length of the original long read
5 start start coordinate of the tandem repeat, 1-based
6 end end coordinate of the tandem repeat, 1-based
7 consLen length of the consensus sequence
8 aveMatch average percent of matches between each unit sequence and the consensus sequence (# matched bases / unit length)
9 fullLen 0: not a full-length sequence, 1: sense strand full-length, 2: anti-sense strand full-length
10 subPos start coordinates of all the tandem repeat unit sequence, followed by the end coordinate of the last tandem repeat unit sequence, separated by ,, all coordinates are 1-based, see examples below
11 consSeq consensus sequence

For example, here are the output for a non-full-length consensus sequence generated from test_data/test_50x4.fa and the adiagram that illustrates all the coordiantes in the output:

test_50x4 rep0  4.0 300 51  250 50  100.0 0 59,109,159,208  CGATCGATCGGCATGCATGCATGCTAGTCGATGCATCGGGATCAGCTAGT

In this example, TideHunter identifies three consecutive tandem repeat units, [59,108], [109,158], [159,208], from the raw read which is 300 bp long. A consensus sequence with 50 bp is generated from the three repeat units. TideHunter further extends the tandem repeat boundary to [51, 250] by aligning the consensus sequence back to the raw read on both sides of the three repeat units.

Another example of the output for a full-length consensus sequence generated from test_data/full_length.fa:

8f2f7766-4b8e-4c0d-9e2b-caf0e5527b19  rep0  8.8  5231  31  5215  203 95.7  1 207,798,1386,1976,2563,3155,3746,4333,4930  ACTAATAAGATCAACAGAATCAGAGTAGATAGTTCCTTGATCGGAACCAAAGGACCCCGTGCCTCAATCTCTATCCTGATGTCATGGGAGTCCTAGCAAAGCTATAGACTCAAGCAAGGCTTGGGGTCCTTTATGGAACCCAAGGATGACTCAGCAATAAAATATTTTGGTTTTGGTTTATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

In this example, the consLen (i.e., 203) is the length of the full-length consensus sequence excluding the 5' and 3' adapter sequences and the subPos (i.e., 207,798,1386,1976,2563,3155,3746,4333,4930) contains the coordinate information of the identified tandem repeat units.

FASTA format

For FASTA output format, the read name and the comment provide detailed information of the detected tandem repeat, i.e., the above columns 1 ~ 10. The sequence is the consensus sequence.

The read name and comment of each consensus sequence have the following format:

>readName_repN_copyNum readLen_start_end_consLen_aveMatch_fullLen_subPos

FASTQ format

For FASTQ output format, the read name and comment are the same as described in FASTA format. TideHunter calculated a customized Phred score as the base quality score of each consensus base:

Here, is the Sigmoid-smoothed consensus calling error rate for each base:

is the Sigmoid function:

is the coverage of the consensus base and is the number of total copies. For example, if one base of the consensus sequence has 4 supporting copies and the total copy number is 5, is 4 and is 5.

The Phred quality score was then shifted by 33 and converted to characters based on the ASCII value. The quality scores range from 0 to 60 and the corresponding ASCII values range from 33 to 93.

Unit sequences

TideHunter can output the unit sequences without performing the consensus calling step when option -u/--unit-seq is enabled. Then, only the following information will be output for the tabular format:

No. Column name Explanation
1 readName the original read name
2 repN N is the ID number of the tandem repeat, within each read, starts from 0
3 subX X is the ID number of the unit sequence, starts from 0
4 unitSeq unit sequence

And for the FASTA format:

>readName_repN_subX
unitSeq X
>readName_repN_subY
unitSeq Y
