Wrapper¶ ↑

Bio-Ngs comes with a build-in wrapper to map binary software directly in BioRuby as objects. From this wrapper object is possible to create Thor task as well, with a lot of sugar.

Wrapping a binary¶ ↑

We want wrap TopHat the famous tool for NGS analyses.

* The first step is to include the Wrapping module
* set the name of the binary to call. Note: if you avid to set the program name it would not be possible to create a thor task and/or run the program
* add the options that the binary accepts, usually if preferred to declare all the options, discover them typing 'your_program_name -h'

   module Bio
     module Ngs    
       class Tophat
         include Bio::Command::Wrapper

         set_program Bio::Ngs::Utils.binary("tophat/tophat")
         add_option "output-dir",:type => :string, :aliases => '-o'
         add_option "min-anchor", :type => :numeric, :aliases => '-a'
         add_option "splice-mismatches", :type => :numeric, :aliases => '-m'
         #all other options that you want to expose with the wrapping
       end #Tophat
     end #Ngs
   end #Bio

is possible to use specify in the class

use_aliases

if you want to give a priority to short notation or if your program has only the short notation but you want to extend the task with the long one as well. We defined a new property for add_option called

:collapse => true

is used only with use_aliases and it collapse the passed parameter to the short notation - example coming from fastx.rb wrapper, note last row - : module Bio module Ngs

module Fastx class Trim include Bio::Command::Wrapper set_program Bio::Ngs::Utils.binary(“fastq_quality_trimmer”) use_aliases add_option :min_size, :type=>:numeric, :default=>20, :aliases => “-l”, :desc=>“Minimum length - sequences shorter than this (after trimming) will be discarded. Default = 0 = no minimum length.” add_option :min_quality, :type=>:numeric, :default=>10, :aliases => “-t”, :desc=>“Quality threshold - nucleotides with lower quality will be trimmed (from the end of the sequence).” add_option :output, :type=>:string, :aliases => “-o”, :desc => “FASTQ output file.”, :collapse=>true add_option :input, :type=>:string, :aliases => “-i”, :desc => “FASTQ input file.”, :collapse=>true add_option :gzip, :type => :boolean, :aliases => “-z”, :desc => “Compress output with GZIP.” add_option :verbose, :type => :boolean, :aliases => “-v”, :desc => “[-v] = Verbose - report number of sequences. If [-o] is specified, report will be printed to STDOUT. If [-o] is not specified (and output goes to STDOUT), report will be printed to STDERR.” add_option :quality_type, :type=>:numeric, :default => 33, :aliases => “-Q”, :desc=>“Quality of fastq file” end end end end fastq_quality_trimmer accepts only short notation options and we need to pass an input file, but for some reason popen used internally doesn’t work properly with the standard behavior so using :collapse=>true the application will be called:

fastq_quality_trimmer -t 20 -t 10 -Q 33 -iinput_file_name.fastq -ooutput_file_name.fastq_trim

running the program by hand form the command line using a space as separator after -i and -o works as expected. :collapse is a work around for this problem.

In case you program work like git which has a main program and the sub_programs for each feature you can use specify the sub program name with

set_sub_program "sub_name"

The wrapper will run the command composing:

set_program set_sub_program options arguments

A practical example of this behavior is samtools which has multiple sub programs view, merge, sort, .… SamTools is a particular case because in biongs we are using bio-samtools a binding with FFI and the wrapper because the merge function was too complicated for the binding or at least we do not spent enough time on it, so we make the wrapping for this functionality.

This step is very similar to define a Thor task, add_option is grabbed/inspired from Thor. Then you can user this binary also from a bioruby script just calling: tophat = Bio::Ngs::Tophat.new tophat.params = {“mate-inner-dist”=>dist, “output-dir”=>outputdir, “num-threads”=>1, “solexa1.3-quals”=>true} #very important: you can pass parameters that have a name which has been previously declared in the Tophat’s class. # if you want to pass not declared parameters/options please use arguments. tophat.run :arguments=>[index, “#{fastqs}” ]

Define the Task¶ ↑

With our new wrapper, let’s define a Thor task on the fly

class MyTasks < Thor
  desc "tophat DIST INDEX OUTPUTDIR FASTQS", "run tophat as from command line, default 6 processors"
  Bio::Ngs::Tophat.new.thor_task(self, :tophat) do |wrapper, task, dist, index, outputdir, fastqs|
    wrapper.params = {"mate-inner-dist"=>dist, "output-dir"=>outputdir, "num-threads"=>1, "solexa1.3-quals"=>true}
    wrapper.run :arguments=>[index, "#{fastqs}" ], :separator=>"="
    #you tasks here
  end
end

Now is you list the tasks with ‘thor -T’ you will see the new task.

You can create a new wrapper and configure it and run it from inside a Thor’s tasks, like in ‘biongs quality:boxplot’

desc "boxplot FASTQ_QUALITY_STATS", "plot reads quality as boxplot"
method_option :title, :type=>:string, :aliases =>"-t", :desc  => "Title (usually the solexa file name) - will be plotted on the graph."
method_option :output, :type=>:string, :aliases =>"-o", :desc => "Output file name. default is input file_name with .txt."
def boxplot(fastq_quality_stats)
  output_file = options.output || "#{fastq_quality_stats}.png"
  boxplot = Bio::Ngs::Fastx::ReadsBoxPlot.new
  boxplot.params={input:fastq_quality_stats, output:output_file}
  boxplot.run
end

Override the run command when the binary dosen’t behave normally¶ ↑

module Bio
  module Ngs    
    module Samtools
      class View
        include Bio::Command::Wrapper
        set_program Bio::Ngs::Utils.binary("samtools")
        add_option "output", :type => :string, :aliases => '-o'

        alias :original_run :run
        def run(opts = {:options=>{}, :arguments=>[], :output_file=>nil, :separator=>"="})
          opts[:arguments].insert(0,"view")
          opts[:arguments].insert(1,"-b")
          opts[:arguments].insert(2,"-o")
          original_run(opts)
        end
      end #View
    end #Samtools
  end #Ngs
end #Bio

Features¶ ↑

Iterators for output files¶ ↑

Example CuffDiff. In this class is possible to define an iterator for a specific set of output files: genes, isoforms, tss_groups, cds. To activate the iterator is just a matter of call a class method in the class definition

class Bio::Ngs::Cufflinks::Diff
  #... all the previous definitions
  #define iterators
  add_iterator_for :genes
  add_iterator_for :isoforms
  add_iterator_for :cds
  add_iterator_for :tss_groups
end

This is an example of CuffDiff, parsing genes.fpkm_tracking file:

Bio::Ngs::Cufflinks::Diff.foreach_gene_tracked("path_to_cuffdiff_output_directory") do |gene_fpkm_track|
  expression_profile = (1..7).map do |sample_idx|
    gene_fpkm_track["q#{sample_idx}_FPKM"].to_f
  end

  #do your stuff accessing this tabular file with gene_fpkm_track["name of the field"]
end

In this case internally CSV library has been used to parse in an easy way the file, there is a lack of performances with huge files, gaining in flexibility.

Notes¶ ↑

aliases are not well supported at this time. ToDo
