[1.0.0] - 2021-02-04

Added

  • A Docker container! This means you can just --use-singularity with Snakemake.
  • Workflow rule to just produce all the repeat masks (this is used in the paper to calculate the repeat content of the assemblies)
  • Automatic validation of the closed gaps with an alignment of the reads against a preliminary gap-closed assembly:
    • Added command bed2mask
    • Optionally write a BED file of closed gaps
    • Added command validate-regions
    • Added interface for reading/writing Dazzler track extras which is utilized to communicate the contig and read IDs between output and validate-regions
  • Extensively documented the example workflow config ./snakemake/snakemake.yml
  • Local alignment chaining via command chain-local-alignments and internally
  • Using chaining to filter/improve pile up alignments
  • Added possibility to revert CLI options via --revert
  • All multi-valued CLI options take their value from a comma-separated list and/or by giving the same option multiple times
  • Added full_validation flag to workflow to keep the preliminary assembly and validation results
  • Added no_purge_output flag to workflow to prevent the automatic skipping of invalid gaps; this also will not trigger the validation if not requested explicitly
  • Possibility to lazily read local alignments from .las file
  • Greatly improved performance of reading .las files by switching to binary interface
  • Possibility to manually skip filling of gaps
  • DBdust for improved sensitivity in alignments
  • Homogenized masks implemented via new command propagate-mask which translates a given mask via an alignment from one DB/DAM to another. The masks are propagated from the assembly to the reads and back to gain sensitivity.

Changed

  • dentist --dependencies now reports the availability of the listed tools and exits non-zero if some dependency is missing
  • Avoid loading the full alignment into memory when masking
  • Refactored getAlignments and getFlatLocalAlignments such that the caller has full control over the buffering strategy
  • Streamlined option passing for daligner, damapper, datander, DBdust and daccord. Also, removed --reference-error and --reads-error in favor of default value -e.7 in all cases. Basically, one must not modify -e without adjusting the rest of the options accordingly. Setting it to the minimum value just ensures no alignments are discarded for no good reason.
  • Masks can be created on a "block-level" and later merged with merged-masks (this is incompatible with Dazzler's Catrack)
  • Avoid cryptic error message if alignment is not a valid .las file
  • Distributed tandem repeat masking
  • Renamed workdir → tmpdir to avoid confusion
  • Raised default value of --max-insertion-error (experiments show a small drop in correctness but large gain in contiguity)
  • Replaced obscure damapper argument from block_alignments by block_a=FULL_DB or block_b=FULL_DB
  • Behavior of environment substitution in workflow config files:
    • The config file may contain default_env and/or override_env. This allows to create "template" config files and "instantiation" config files because snakemake allows the user to specify more than one config file.
    • If just the placeholder string is given (e.g. $FOO) then substitute the exact value and type in the current env dictionary. This means, the type of a value given via default_env or override_env is copied which in turn prevents type error in DENTIST's config file.
  • Included filter-mask into the standard commands because it can be useful for adjusting repeat masks
  • Removed some dead code

Removed

  • Dependency on LAdump and dumpLA

Fixed

  • Added properAlignmentAllowance to completelyCovers
  • Fixed workflow for non-PacBio reads
  • Snakemake can now run in single pass; before a separate call was required to create DENTIST's config file.
  • Deactivated daligner's bridging (-B) when self-alignments are requested (-I) to avoid a bug.
  • Many more fixes to workflow and related files under ./snakemake/
  • Details in commands in README
  • Remedied syntax highlighting errors
  • Many technical bugs/errors
  • Compilation with ldc2

[1.0.0-beta.3] - 2020-07-23

Added

  • Always skip file locking with environment variable SKIP_FILE_LOCKING=1

[1.0.0-beta.2] - 2020-07-23

Added

  • Allow use of environment variables in Snakemake workflow config
  • Avoid appending to DBs by design
  • Improved README:
    • Advice on how to choose parameters
    • Advice on how to run DENTIST with different read types
    • Version information to dependencies
  • Log level information to log messages
  • More logging on failed gap closing

Changed

  • Simplified usage of --workdir: no need to manually create the designated directory
  • Improvements to close more gaps:
    • Custom pre-consensus alignment filtering
    • Add support sequence to cropped reads to ensure daligner finds alignments
    • Allow cropping in masked region if necessary
    • Selectively ignore repeat mask to allow post consensus alignments
    • Increased sensitivity in pileup alignments by adding the bridging option of daligner
  • Select reference read for consensus by intrinsic QVs → better consensus quality
  • Moved flag --max-insertion-error from process to output stage so trying different values becomes much faster
  • Automatically deduce trace point spacing in all places
  • Faster check if .las files are empty → faster CLI options checking
  • Naming of temporary files for easier inspection
  • Use DBdust for post consensus alignment
  • Produce .db for cropped pileups (temporary files) to make DAScover and DASqv work
  • Removed -I option from daligner calls (avoid useless alignment)

Fixed

  • Several bugs in Snakemake workflow
  • Significantly improved number of closed gaps
  • Coordinates in AGP output
  • Bug in procedure that identifies a good cropping position
  • Error that caused --proper-alignment-allowance to have no effect by default

[1.0.0-beta.1] - 2020-03-17

Added

  • post-consensus alignment and validation with new parameter --max-insertion-error

  • cropping and splicing of insertions:
    • existing sequence is completely retained
    • moved from process-pile-ups to output
    • binary format of insertions DBs (breaking change) to gain more freedom in later steps
    • splice sites are chosen based on the post-consensus alignments
  • ambiguities in the alignment of reads are now detected globally

  • improved README by adhering to Standard Readme
  • better (error) reporting
  • temporary files have more informative names
  • many minor refactorings and extensions

Removed

  • combined self- and read-alignment-based masking: old behvaiour can be copied by using the --mask parameter and supplying both masks to all commands

Fixed

  • trying all possible reference reads for consensus in order to find a non-failing reference
  • corrected insertion splicing in case of reverse-complement alignment of the consensus
  • bug that caused check-results to discard all alignments in certain loci
  • added missing logic for cropped contigs in getGapState in check-results

Added

  • work-around for damapper bug
  • histograms generated by check-results include a column for .999 sequence identity
  • check-results optionally writes a detailed gap report

Changed

  • simplified the coverage bounds interface of mask-repetitive-regions: only max-values and/or the read coverage are required
  • improve consensus quality by using lasfilteralignments to remove deteriorating local alignments
  • reduced value of --min-reads-per-pile-up to --min-spanning-reads (default: 3) to better work with extremely low coverage
  • reduced the default minimum anchor length to 500
  • fix & simplify score function for read alignments
  • suppress generation of two las files for reads alignment in generate-dazzler-options
  • insertion DBs do not include information about existing contigs anymore which makes validation of results easier
  • renamed debug-graph → debug-scaffold for clarity
  • added logging for discarded pile ups
  • check-results counts complementary alignments (inversions) as errors
  • remove leading/trailing gaps from all checks by check-results
  • improved quality of documentation
