Prerequisites

This discussion assumes you are familiar with Unix shell command line programming and scripting. You will be encountering and interacting with csh/tcsh, bash, perl, and python scripting languages. You will need at least one computer with several CPU cores, preferably a multiple compute cluster system or equivalent in a cloud computing environment.

Parasol Job Control System

The scripts and programs used here expect to find the Parasol_job_control_system in place and operational.

Install scripts and kent command line utilities

This is a bit of a kludge at this time (April 2018), we are working on a cleaner distribution of these scripts. As was mentioned in the Parasol_job_control_system setup, the kent command line binaries and these scripts are going to reside in /data/bin/ and /data/scripts/. This is merely a style custom to keep scripts separate from binaries, this is not strictly necessary to keep them separate.


 mkdir -p /data/scripts /data/bin
 chmod 755 /data/scripts /data/bin

 rsync -a rsync://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/genome/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/ /data/bin/
 git archive --remote=git://genome-source.soe.ucsc.edu/kent.git \
  --prefix=kent/ HEAD src/hg/utils/automation \
     | tar vxf - -C /data/scripts --strip-components=5 \
        --exclude='kent/src/hg/utils/automation/incidentDb' \
      --exclude='kent/src/hg/utils/automation/configFiles' \
      --exclude='kent/src/hg/utils/automation/ensGene' \
      --exclude='kent/src/hg/utils/automation/genbank' \
      --exclude='kent/src/hg/utils/automation/lastz_D' \
      --exclude='kent/src/hg/utils/automation/openStack'

PATH setup

Add or verify the two directories /data/bin and /data/scripts are added to the shell PATH environment. This can be added simply to the .bashrc file in the your home directory:

echo 'export PATH=/data/bin:/data/scripts:$PATH' >> $HOME/.bashrc

Then, source that file to add that to this current shell:

. $HOME/.bashrc

Verify you see those pathnames on the PATH variable:

echo $PATH
/data/bin:/data/scripts:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/centos/.local/bin:/home/centos/bin

This entire discussion assumes the bash shell is the user's unix shell.

Working directory hierarchy

It is best to organize your work in a directory hierarchy. For example maintain all your genome sequences in:

 /data/genomes/
 /data/genomes/hg38/
 /data/genomes/mm10/
 /data/genomes/dm6/
 /data/genomes/ce11/
 ... etc ...

Where those database directories can have the 2bit files, chrom.sizes, and track construction directories, for example:

 /data/genomes/dm6/dm6.2bit
 /data/genomes/dm6/dm6.chrom.sizes
 /data/genomes/dm6/trackData/

Such organizations are a personal preference custom. However you do this, keep it consistent to make it easier to use scripts on multiple sequences.

Obtain genome sequences

Genome sequences from the U.C. Santa Cruz Genomics Institute can be obtained directly from the hgdownload server via rsync. For example

mkdir /data/genomes/dm6
cd /data/genomes/dm6
rsync -avzP \
   rsync://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/dm6/bigZips/dm6.2bit .
rsync -avzP \
   rsync://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/dm6/bigZips/dm6.chrom.sizes .
ls -og
-rw-rw-r--. 1 36969050 Aug 28  2014 dm6.2bit
-rw-rw-r--. 1    45055 Aug 28  2014 dm6.chrom.sizes

Genome sequences from the NCBI/Entrez/Genbank system can be found via the assembly_summary.txt text listing information files, for example invertebrate genomes:

wget -O /tmp/invertebrate.assembly_summary.txt 'ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/refseq/invertebrate/assembly_summary.txt'

Looking for the Anopheles genome:


 grep -w Anopheles /tmp/invertebrate.assembly_summary.txt 
 GCF_000005575.2 PRJNA163        SAMN02952903    AAAB00000000.1  representative genome   180454  7165    Anopheles gambiae str.

Note the Assembly identification from the ftp path GCF_000005575.2_AgamP3, working with that sequence:


 mkdir /data/genomes/dm6/trackData/GCF_000005575.2_AgamP3
 cd /data/genomes/dm6/trackData/GCF_000005575.2_AgamP3

The assembly_report.txt file is useful to have for the meta-data information it has about the assembly. The fna.gz file needs to be in 2bit format for the processing system, and the chrom.sizes made from the 2bit:

faToTwoBit GCF_000005575.2_AgamP3_genomic.fna.gz GCF_000005575.2_AgamP3.2bit
