Changelog

CHARLIE 0.11.0

  • Major updates to convert CHARLIE from a biowulf-specific to a platform-agnostic pipeline (#102, @kelly-sovacool):
  • All rules now use containers instead of envmodules.
  • Default config and cluster config files are provided for use on biowulf and FRCE.
  • New entry TEMPDIR in the config file sets the temporary directory location for rules that require transient storage.
  • New --singcache argument to provide a singularity cache dir location. The singularity cache dir is automatically set inside /data/$USER/ or $WORKDIR/ if --singcache is not provided.
  • Minor documentation improvements. (#114, @kelly-sovacool)

CHARLIE 0.10.1

  • strand are reported together, strand from all callers are reported,
  • both + and - flanking sites are reported,
  • rev-comp function updated,
  • updated versions of tools to match available tools on BIOWULF.

CHARLIE 0.9.0

Significant upgrades since the last release:

  • updates to wrapper script, many new arguments/options added
  • new per-sample counts table format
  • new all-sample master counts matrix with min-nreads filtering and ntools column to show number of tools supporting the circRNA call
  • new version of Snakemake
  • cluster_status script added for forced completion of pipeline upon TIMEOUTs
  • updated flowchart from lucid charts
  • added circRNAfinder, find_circ, circExplorer2_bwa and other tools
  • optimized execution and resource requirements
  • updated viral annotations (Thanks Sara!)
  • new method to extract linear counts, create linear BAMs using circExplorer2 outputs
  • new job reporting using jobby and its derivatives
  • separated creation of BWA and BOWTIE2 index from creation of STAR index to speed things up
  • parallelized find_circ
  • better cleanup (eg. deleting _STARgenome folders, etc.) for much smaller digital footprint
  • multitude of comments throughout the snakefiles including listing of output file column descriptions
  • preliminary GH actions added

CHARLIE 0.7.0

  • 5 circRNA callers
  • all-sample counts matrix with annotations

CHARLIE 0.6.9

  • Optimized pysam scripts
  • fixed premature completion of singularity rules

CHARLIE 0.6.5

  • updated config.yaml to use the latest HSV-1 annotations received from Sarah (050421)

CHARLIE 0.6.4

  • create linear reads BAM file
  • create linear reads BigWigs for each region in the .regions file.

CHARLIE 0.6.3

  • QOS not working for Taka... removed from cluster.json
  • recall rule requires python/3.7 ... env module updated

CHARLIE 0.6.2

  • BSJ files are in BSJ subfolder... bug fix for v0.6.1

CHARLIE 0.6.1

  • customBSJs recalled from STAR alignments
  • only for PE
  • removes erroneously called CircExplorer BSJs
  • create sense and anti-sense BSJ BAMs and BW for each reference (host+viruses)
  • find reads which contribute to CIRI BSJs but not on the STAR list of BSJ reads, see if they contribute to novel (not called by STAR) BSJs and append novel BSJs to customBSJ list

CHARLIE 0.6.0

cutadapt_min_length to cutadapt rule... setting it to 15 in config (for miRNAs, Biot and short viral features)

CHARLIE 0.5.0

  • run_clear is now set to True (as default)
  • circ_quant replaces clear_quant in the CLEAR rule. In order words, we are reusing the STAR alignment file and the circExplorer2 output file for running CLEAR. No need to run HISAT2 and TopHat (fusion-search with Bowtie1). This is much quicker.
  • Using picard to estimate duplicates using MarkDuplicates
  • Generating a per-run multiqc HTML report
  • Using eulerr R package to generate CIRI-CircExplorer circRNA Venn diagrams and include them in the mulitqc report
  • Gather per job cluster metadata like queue time, run time, job state etc. Stats are compiled in HPC_summary file
  • CLEAR pipeline quant.txt file is annotated for known circRNAs
  • WORKDIR can now be a relative path
  • bam2bw conversion fix for BSJ and spliced_reads. Issue closed!

CHARLIE 0.4.0

  • CLEAR added.
  • wrapper script (run_circrna_daq.sh) added for local and cluster execution.
  • "spliced reads only" bam created and split by regions

CHARLIE 0.3.0

  • Lookup table for hg38 to hg19 circRNA annotations is updated... this eliminate one-to-many hits from the previous version
  • BSJs extracted as different bam file.
  • flowchart added
  • adding slurmjobid to log/err file names
  • v0.3.1 has significant (>10X) performance improvements at BSJ bam creation
  • v0.3.3 splits BSJ bams into human and viral bams, and also converts them to bigwigs
  • v0.3.4 adds hg38_rRNA_masked_plus_rRNA_plus_viruses_plus_ERCC reference (source:Sarah)

CHARLIE 0.2.0

  • SE support added .. PE/SE samples handled concurrently
  • envmodules used in Snakemake in place of module load statements

CHARLIE 0.1.0

  • base version
  • PE only support
