A bioinformatics toolkit for processing high-throughput lymphocyte receptor sequencing data.

Project description

Change-O - Repertoire clonal assignment toolkit

Change-O is a collection of tools for processing the output of V(D)J alignment tools, assigning clonal clusters to immunoglobulin (Ig) sequences, and reconstructing germline sequences.

Dramatic improvements in high-throughput sequencing technologies now enable large-scale characterization of Ig repertoires, defined as the collection of trans-membrane antigen-receptor proteins located on the surface of B cells and T cells. Change-O is a suite of utilities to facilitate advanced analysis of Ig and TCR sequences following germline segment assignment. Change-O handles output from IMGT/HighV-QUEST and IgBLAST, and provides a wide variety of clustering methods for assigning clonal groups to Ig sequences. Record sorting, grouping, and various database manipulation operations are also included.

Installation

The simplest way to install the latest stable release of Change-O is via pip:

> pip3 install changeo --user

The current development build can be installed using pip and mercurial in similar fashion:

> pip3 install hg+https://bitbucket.org/kleinstein/changeo#default --user

If you currently have a development version installed, then you will likely need to add the arguments --upgrade --no-deps --force-reinstall to the pip3 command.

Requirements

Linux

  1. The simplest way to install all Python dependencies is to install the full SciPy stack using the instructions, then install Biopython according to its instructions.

  2. Install presto 0.5.0 or greater.

  3. Download the Change-O bundle and run:

    > pip3 install changeo-x.y.z.tar.gz --user

Mac OS X

  1. Install Xcode. Available from the Apple store or developer downloads.

  2. Older versions Mac OS X will require you to install XQuartz 2.7.5. Available from the XQuartz project.

  3. Install Homebrew following the installation and post-installation instructions.

  4. Install Python 3.4.0+ and set the path to the python3 executable:

    > brew install python3
    > echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.profile
  5. Exit and reopen the terminal application so the PATH setting takes effect.

  6. You may, or may not, need to install gfortran (required for SciPy). Try without first, as this can take an hour to install and is not needed on newer releases. If you do need gfortran to install SciPy, you can install it using Homebrew:

    > brew install gfortran

    If the above fails run this instead:

    > brew install --env=std gfortran
  7. Install NumPy, SciPy, pandas and Biopyton using the Python package manager:

    > pip3 install numpy scipy pandas biopython
  8. Install presto 0.5.0 or greater.

  9. Download the Change-O bundle, open a terminal window, change directories to the download folder, and run:

    > pip3 install changeo-x.y.z.tar.gz

Windows

  1. Install Python 3.4.0+ from Python, selecting both the options ‘pip’ and ‘Add python.exe to Path’.

  2. Install NumPy, SciPy, pandas and Biopython using the packages available from the Unofficial Windows binary collection.

  3. Install presto 0.5.0 or greater.

  4. Download the Change-O bundle, open a Command Prompt, change directories to the download folder, and run:

    > pip install changeo-x.y.z.tar.gz
  5. For a default installation of Python 3.4, the Change-0 scripts will be installed into C:\Python34\Scripts and should be directly executable from the Command Prompt. If this is not the case, then follow step 5 below.

  6. Add both the C:\Python34 and C:\Python34\Scripts directories to your %Path%. On Windows 7 the %Path% setting is located under Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment variables -> System variables -> Path.

  1. If you have trouble with the .py file associations, try adding .PY to your PATHEXT environment variable. Also, opening a command prompt as Administrator and run:

    > assoc .py=Python.File
    > ftype Python.File="C:\Python34\python.exe" "%1" %*

Version 0.3.4: February 14, 2017

License changed to Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0).

CreateGermlines:

  • Added GERMLINE_V_CALL, GERMLINE_D_CALL and GERMLINE_J_CALL columns to the output when the -cloned argument is specified. These columns contain the consensus annotations when clonal groups contain ambiguous gene assignments.

  • Fixed the error message for an invalid repo (-r) argument.

Renamed the fields N1_LENGTH to NP1_LENGTH and N2_LENGTH to NP2_LENGTH.

CreateGermlines:

  • Added differentiation of the N and P regions the the REGION log field if the N/P region info is present in the input file (eg, from the --junction argument to MakeDb-imgt). If the additional N/P region columns are not present, then both N and P regions will be denoted by N, as in previous versions.

  • Added the option ‘regions’ to the -g argument to create add the GERMLINE_REGIONS field to the output which represents the germline positions as V, D, J, N and P characters. This is equivalent to the REGION log entry.

DefineClones:

This provides the following additional output fields: D_FRAME, N1_LENGTH, N2_LENGTH, P3V_LENGTH, P5D_LENGTH, P3D_LENGTH, P5J_LENGTH.

  • The fields N1_LENGTH and N2_LENGTH have been renamed to accommodate adding additional output from IMGT under the --junction flag. The new names are NP1_LENGTH and NP2_LENGTH.

  • Fixed a bug that caused the IN_FRAME, MUTATED_INVARIANT and STOP field to be be parsed incorrectly from IMGT data.

  • Ouput from iHMMuneAlign can now be parsed via the ihmm subcommand. Note, there is insufficient information returned by iHMMuneAlign to reliably reconstruct germline sequences from the output using CreateGermlines.

ParseDb:

  • Renamed the clip subcommand to baseline.

Version 0.3.2: March 8, 2016

Fixed a bug with installation on Windows due to old file paths lingering in changeo.egg-info/SOURCES.txt.

Version 0.2.3: July 22, 2015

DefineClones:

  • Fixed a typo in the default normalization setting of the bygroup subcommand, which was being interpreted as ‘none’ rather than ‘len’.

  • Changed the ‘hs5f’ model of the bygroup subcommand to be centered -log10 of the targeting probability.

  • Added the --sym argument to the bygroup subcommand which determines how asymmetric distances are handled.

Version 0.2.2: July 8, 2015

  • Fixed a bug with determination of N1 and N2 region positions.

MakeDb:

  • Combined the -z and -f flags of the imgt subcommand into a single flag, -i, which autodetects the input type.

  • Added requirement that IgBLAST input be generated using the -outfmt "7 std qseq" argument to igblastn.

  • Modified SEQUENCE_VDJ output from IgBLAST parser to include gaps inserted during alignment.

  • Added correction for IgBLAST alignments where V/D, D/J or V/J segments are assigned overlapping positions.
