LRez provides a standalone tool allowing to work with barcoded linked-reads such as 10X Genomics data, as well as library allowing to easily use it in other projects.
Presently, it is directly compatible with the following linked-reads technologies, given the barcodes are reported using the BX:Z tag (if this is not the case, pre-processing scripts are given in the utils/ directory):
- 10x Genomics
- Haplotagging
- stLFR
- TELL-Seq
LRez has different functionalities such as comparing regions pairs or contigs extremities to retrieve their common barcodes and extracting barcodes from given regions of a BAM file, as well as indexing and querying both BAM and FASTQ files to quickly retrieve reads or alignments sharing a given barcode or list of barcodes. In can thus be used in different applications, such as variant calling or scaffolding.
- A Unix based operating system.
- g , minimum version 5.5.0.
- CMake, minimum version 2.8.2.
- zlib, minimum version 1.2.11.
Clone the LRez repository, along with its submodules with:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/morispi/LRezThen run the install.sh script:
./install.shThe installation script will build dependencies, the binary standalone in the bin folder, as well as the library, allowing to use LRez in other projects, in the lib folder.
Alternatively, LRez is also distributed as a bioconda package, which can be installed with:
conda install -c bioconda lrezLRez [SUBCOMMAND]
where [SUBCOMMAND] can be one of the following:
- compare: Compute the number of common barcodes between pairs of regions, or between pairs of contigs' extremities
- extract: Extract the barcodes from a given region of a BAM file
- stats: Retrieve general stats from a BAM file
- index bam: Index the offsets or occurrences positions of the barcodes contained in a BAM file
- query bam: Query the barcodes index to retrieve alignments in a BAM file, given a barcode or list of barcodes
- index fastq: Index the offsets of the barcodes contained in a fastq file
- query fastq: Query the barcodes index to retrieve alignments in a fastq file, given a barcode or list of barcodes
A description of each subcommand as well as its options is given below.
