DFE analysis pipeline from Verta et al. (2021)

This repository contains the code and command lines for the re-sequencing calling pipeline and DFE analysis presented in Verta et al. (2021) (https://academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-article/doi/10.1093/gbe/evab059/6179807). The different analysis and preparation steps are contained in their own subdirectories which are outlined below in rough sequential order.

Contents

annotation/: containes the code for downloading the reference genome and coordinate files from NCBI, as well as code to calculate coordinates for sites without coordinates in the GFF file.

genome_alignment/: pipeline for 9 species whole genome alignment - used for polarising SNPs and calculating divergence in order to calculate alpha.

read_mapping/: steps for downloading the raw reads from Barson et al. (2015) and mapping to the reference genome.

training_set/: initial SAMtools and GATK calling to produce a training set for the main GATK calling.

variant_calling/: GATK SNP calling pipeline and generation of callable sites FASTA file.

sfs/: Pipeline to extract frequency data and number of callable sites for different sequence contexts per gene.

summary_stats/: Calculating nucleotide diversity, theta and Tajima's D from SFS data.

dfe/: Estimating the distribution of fitness effects using anavar.

divergence/: Estimating divergence from the genome alignment using APE and estimating alpha with the DFE and divergence estimates.

A note on the cluster

A lot of the pipeline scripts write and submit jobs on SLURM based CSC computer cluster Puhti (https://docs.csc.fi/computing/overview/). This behaviour can be changed from submitting the job to only writing the batch file by substituting the line from qsub import q_sub with from qsub import q_write as q_sub at the top of the offending python scripts.

Python requirements

The scripts also make use of a number of python modules:

anavar_utils: https://github.com/henryjuho/anavar_utils - some code to make working with anavar control files easier.

python_qsub_wrapper: https://github.com/henryjuho/python_qsub_wrapper - some code to write and submit batch jobs from within the python scripts.

sfs_utils: https://github.com/henryjuho/sfs_utils - code for extracting frequency data from VCF files

pysam: https://pysam.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html - module for working with VCF, BED, FASTA and other files in python.

Other directories

There are also the following directories that contain pipelines that did not end up in the paper:

homeoblock_alignments/: Pipeline for aligning homeoblocks in the salmon, not used for any analysis.

coverage_impact/: A sanity check to see if including low coverage individuals to maximise sample size and number of SNPs was skewing the estimated DFE.
