These scripts are for use with a GridION or its output file, to make the files
and folder structures correspond more closely to those required by downstream
bioinformatics programs. Note that at the time of writing, the GridION runs
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and mounts USB drives in the /data
folder, and these scripts
contain some "faults" to work around these idiosyncrasies (i.e. they will not
pass in ShellCheck).
Usage
ont-transfer
ont-transfer [-s 1|6|12] FAP_FOLDER
Transfers all of the passing FAST5 and FASTQ files to the first available USB
drive, skipping empty barcodes based on the number of the first skip passed
through the -s
parameter, consolidating all files of the same type into one
folder for easier sorting and uploading, and concatenating and compressing FASTQ
files into one per barcode.
ont-rename.jl
To be run with Julia.
julia --project=PATH_TO_ONT_FOLDER PATH_TO_ONT-RENAME.jl
In practice, this looks like
julia --project=C:\Users\MillironX\ont C:\Users\MillironX\ont\ont-rename.jl
ont-demux
(deprecated)
ont-demux FAP_FOLDER
This functionality is now wrapped into ont-Transfer
, which can produce the
same results using far fewer resources and in far less time.
Consolidates all FAST5s into a single gzipped FASTQ using ONT's
guppy_barcoder
. Note that this is for MinKNOW's default settings of 4000
reads/file. It is highly recommended to set the "Number of Reads per File"
entry in MinKNOW to 0, and checking "Compress FASTQs" to produce nearly the same
results (this functionality has been taken out of recent updates to MinKNOW).
Installation
ont-transfer
and ont-demux
Requirements
- git
- guppy (Get from ONT Community)
- GNU Parallel
See ONT for guppy installation instructions. Others may be installed by opening a terminal and running
sudo apt-get install git parallel -y
Instructions
Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T), and use the following commands
git clone https://github.com/MillironX/sc2-sequencing
mkdir ~/bin
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
cp sc2-sequending/ont/* ~/bin
chmod +x ~/bin/*
source ~/.bashrc
ont-rename
These scripts require Julia.
Windows install instructions (I will assume Linux users can adapt):
- Download and install Julia
- Select "Add Julia to PATH" as an option
- All other default options will work
- Download the Repo's ZIP file (click green button on upper-right)
- Press
Win+R
, type%USERPROFILE%
and press Enter - Copy the ont folder from the ZIP file into the newly opened folder
- Press
Win+X
, thenI
to open a new PowerShell window - Type
julia --project=$env:USERPROFILE\ont
and press Enter - Press the
]
key, the prompt should change to say(ONTRename) pkg>
- Run
instantiate
- Press the backspace key to return to the
julia>
prompt - Run
exit()
- Close PowerShell
- Right-click the Windows desktop, and click "New | Shortcut..."
- Type
julia --project=%USERPROFILE%\ont %USERPROFILE%\ont\ont-rename.jl
and click Next - Type
Rename ONT FASTQs
or something else memorable and click "Finish"
