Quick check module ******************************************************** The circtools quickcheck module is designed to equip the user with a fast way of assessing the quality of the circRNA library preparation and the success of the mapping process. ``circtools quickcheck`` requires sequencing reads have been mapped with STAR since internally the STAR log files are processed. CircRNA detection metrics are provided via ``circtools detect`` which has to be run prior to call the quickcheck module. Required tools and packages -------------------------------- ``quickcheck`` depends on R and two R packages, namely * ggplot2: general plotting * ggrepel: label assignment in plots General usage -------------- A call to ``circtools quickcheck --help`` shows all available command line flags: .. code-block:: bash usage: circtools [-h] -d DETECT_DIR -s STAR_DIR -l CONDITION_LIST -g GROUPING [-o OUTPUT_DIRECTORY] [-n OUTPUT_NAME] [-c {colour,bw}] [-C CLEANUP] [-S STARFOLDER] [-L REMOVE_SUFFIX_CHARS] [-F REMOVE_PREFIX_CHARS] [-R REMOVE_COLUMNS] circular RNA sequencing library quality assessment optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit Required: -d DETECT_DIR, --detect DETECT_DIR Path to the circtools detect data directory -s STAR_DIR, --star STAR_DIR Path to the base STAR data directory containing sub- folders with per-sample mappings -l CONDITION_LIST, --condition-list CONDITION_LIST Comma-separated list of conditions which should be comparedE.g. "RNaseR +","RNaseR -" -g GROUPING, --grouping GROUPING Comma-separated list describing the relation of the columns specified via -c to the sample names specified via -l; e.g. -g 1,2 and -r 3 would assign sample1 to each even column and sample 2 to each odd column Output options: -o OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, --output-directory OUTPUT_DIRECTORY The output directory for files created by circtools [Default: ./] -n OUTPUT_NAME, --output-name OUTPUT_NAME The output name for files created by circtools [Default: quickcheck] -c {colour,bw}, --colour {colour,bw} Can be set to bw to create grayscale graphs for manuscripts -C CLEANUP, --cleanup CLEANUP String to be removed from each sample name [Default: "_STARmapping.*Chimeric.out.junction"] -S STARFOLDER, --starfolder STARFOLDER Suffix string of the STAR folders[Default: "_STARmapping"] -L REMOVE_SUFFIX_CHARS, --remove-last REMOVE_SUFFIX_CHARS Remove last N characters from each column name of the circtools detect input data [Default: 0] -F REMOVE_PREFIX_CHARS, --remove-first REMOVE_PREFIX_CHARS Remove first N characters from each column name of the circtools detect input data [Default: 0] -R REMOVE_COLUMNS, --remove-columns REMOVE_COLUMNS Comma-separated list of columns in the circtools detect data files to not includes in the check Sample call ^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash circtools quickcheck -d 01_detect/ -s ../star -l minus,plus -g 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2 -o 02_quickcheck/ -C .Chimeric.out.junction Here we have the circtools data located in the folder ``01_detect/``, the STAR mapping are stored in ``star/``, the experiment had 4 conditions, listed via ``-l RNaseR_minus,RNaseR_plus``, the samples in the detection data file are sorted in the the order specified via ``-g 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2``. .. code-block:: bash Using R version 3.5.0 [/usr/bin/Rscript] Loading CircRNACount Loading LinearRNACount Parsing data Found 8 data columns in provided DCC data 2 different groups provided Assuming (1,2),(1,2),(1,2),... sample grouping plotting data Done ``circtools`` takes a few seconds to process the data.
