INTRO

In preparation for RNA-seq analysis for urol-e5/timeseries_molecular (GitHub repo) project, I previously indexed the genome using HISAT2 earlier today.

This notebook details the RNA-seq alignment using HISAT2 and StringTie to generate DESeq2-formatted count matrices. These will be linked on the timeseries_molecular Wiki Page.

Note

The contents below are from markdown knitted from 02.20-F-Ptua-RNAseq-alignment-HiSat2.Rmd (commit 461f679).

1 Background

This notebook will align trimmed P.tuahiniensis RNA-seq data to the P.tuahiniensis genome using HISAT2 (Kim et al. 2019). Follwed by StringTie (Pertea et al. 2015, 2016) for transcript assembly/identification and count matrices for downstream expression analysis with DESeq2 and/or Ballgown.

Since the BAM files produced by this notebook are too large for GitHub, they can be accessed on our server here:

https://gannet.fish.washington.edu/Atumefaciens/gitrepos/urol-e5/timeseries_molecular/F-Ptua/output/02.20-F-Ptua-RNAseq-alignment-HiSat2/

Input(s)

  • Trimmed FastQ files, with format: <colone_ID>-<timepoint>_*fastp-trim.fq.gz
  • HISAT2 genome index: Pocillopora_meandrina_HIv1.assembly
  • Genome GTF: Porites_evermanni_validated.gtf
  • Sample metadata: M-multi-species/data/rna_metadata.csv

Outputs:

  • Primary:

    • checksums.md5: MD5 checksum for all files in this directory. Excludes subdirectories.

    • ptua-gene_count_matrix.csv: Gene count matrix for use in DESeq2.

    • ptua-transcript_count_matrix.csv: Transcript count matrix for use in DESeq2.

    • prepDE-sample_list.txt: Sample file list provided as input to StringTie for DESeq2 count matrix generation. Also serves as documentation of which files were used for this step.

    • Pocillopora_meandrina_HIv1.assembly.stringtie.gtf: Canonical StringTie GTF file compiled from all individual sample GTFs.

    • sorted-bams-merged.bam: Merged (and sorted) BAM consisting of all individual sample BAMs.

    • sorted-bams-merged.bam.bai: BAM index file. Useful for visualizing assemblies in IGV.

    • sorted_bams.list: List file needed for merging of BAMS with samtools. Also serves as documentation of which files were used for this step.

    • multiqc_report.html: MultiQC report aggregating all individual HISAT2 alignment stats and samtools flagstats.

    • gtf_list.txt: List file needed for merging of GTF files with StringTie. Also serves as documentation of which files were used for this step.

  • Individuals:

Each subdirectory is labelled based on sample name and each contains individual HISAT2 alignment and StringTie output files.

  • <sample_name>_checksums.md5: MD5 checksums for all files in the directory.

  • *.ctab: Data tables formatted for import into Ballgown.

  • <sample_name>.cov_refs.gtf: StringTie genome reference sequnce coverage GTF.

  • <sample_name>.gtf: StringTie GTF.

  • <sample_name>.sorted.bam: HISAT2 assembly BAM.

  • <sample_name>.sorted.bam.bai: BAM index file. Useful for visualizing assemblies in IGV.

  • <sample_name>-hisat2_output.flagstat: samtools flagstat output file.

  • <sample_name>_hisat2.stats: HISAT2 assembly stats.

  • input_fastqs_checksums.md5: MD5 checksums of files used as input for assembly. Primarily serves as documentation to track/verify which files were actually used.

3 Align reads using HISAT2

This requires usage of the rna_metadata.csv

This step has a lengthy, semi-complex workflow:

  1. Parse rna_metadata.csv for P.tuahiniensis sample names and time point. This info will be used for downstream file naming and to assing the time point to the read group (SM:) in the alignment file.
  2. Loop through all samples and perform individual alignments using HISAT2.
  3. HISAT2 output is piped to through multiple samtools tools: flagstat (stats aggregation), sort (creates/sorts BAM), index (creates BAM index). Piping saves time and disk space, by avoiding the generation of large SAM files.
  4. Loop continues and runs StringTie on sorted BAM file to produce individual GTF file.
  5. Loop continues and adds GTF path/filename to a list file, which will be used downstream.

 130G used in 40 directories, 524 files

3.2 MultiQC alignment rates

# Load bash variables into memory
source .bashvars

# Change to ouput directory
cd "${output_dir_top}"

${programs_array[multiqc]} \
--interactive \
.

4 Merge sorted BAMs

Merge all BAMs to singular BAM for use in transcriptome assembly later, if needed.

# Load bash variables into memory
source .bashvars

# Change to ouput directory
cd "${output_dir_top}"


## Create list of sorted BAMs for merging
find . -name "*sorted.bam" > sorted_bams.list

## Merge sorted BAMs
${programs_array[samtools]} merge \
-b sorted_bams.list \
${merged_bam} \
--threads ${threads}

## Index merged BAM
${programs_array[samtools]} index ${merged_bam}

5 Create combined GTF

# Load bash variables into memory
source .bashvars

# Change to ouput directory
cd "${output_dir_top}"


# Create singular transcript file, using GTF list file
"${programs_array[stringtie]}" --merge \
"${gtf_list}" \
-p "${threads}" \
-G "${genome_gff}" \
-o "${genome_index_name}".stringtie.gtf

6 Create DESeq2 Count Matrices

# Load bash variables into memory
source .bashvars

# Change to ouput directory
cd "${output_dir_top}"

# Create file list for prepDE.py
while read -r line
do
  sample_no_path=${line##*/}
  sample=${sample_no_path%.*}
  echo ${sample} ${line}
done < gtf_list.txt >> prepDE-sample_list.txt

# Create count matrices for genes and transcripts
# Compatible with import to DESeq2
python3 "${programs_array[prepDE]}" \
--input=prepDE-sample_list.txt \
-g ptua-gene_count_matrix.csv \
-t ptua-transcript_count_matrix.csv \
--length=${read_length}

7 Generate checksums

# Load bash variables into memory
source .bashvars

# Change to ouput directory
cd "${output_dir_top}"

# Uses find command to avoid passing
# directory names to the md5sum command.
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec md5sum {} + \
| tee --append checksums.md5
