mOTUsv2 Database Extension (20 min)

The mOTUsv2 database is composed from a large number of published genomes and metagenomic assemblies. One additional feature of mOTUsv2 is that ability to add your own genomes/MAGs/SAGs to improve the profiling of specific microbiomes.

In order to add new genomes to the mOTUsv2 database you need to provide one or multiple genomes that:

  • are taxonomically annotated using NCBI ids:

    DKWZ00000000  2 Bacteria  976 Bacteroidetes   200643 Bacteroidia  171549 Bacteroidales    171551 Porphyromonadaceae   NA unclassified Porphyromonadaceae  2049046 Porphyromonadaceae bacterium
    
    DIDX00000000  2 Bacteria  976 Bacteroidetes   117747 Sphingobacteriia 200666 Sphingobacteriales   84566 Sphingobacteriaceae   28453 Sphingobacterium  NA unknown Sphingobacterium
    
  • contain at least 6 of the 10 marker genes

This will be a demo/explanation of the extender. Running the extender is relatively quick but installation and rebuilding of the mOTUsv2 database would take more then the 20 minutes we have in this session.

Installation

The extender tool is an addon tool that has to be downloaded and installed:

#download extender archive
wget https://motu-tool.org/data/extend_mOTUs_DBv3.tar.gz
#decompress
tar -xzvf extend_mOTUs_DBv2.tar.gz
cd extend_mOTUs_DBv2
#create a conda enviroment with dependencies
conda env create -f env/update_mOTUs_v2.yaml
cd ..
source activate update_mOTUs_v2
#Motus should be installed without conda
git clone https://github.com/motu-tool/mOTUs_v2.git
cd mOTUs_v2
python setup.py
python test.py
cd ..
MOTUS_DIR=`pwd`/mOTUs_v2/

Required Files

The extender comes with a set of genomes that can be added as a test case.

Each genome needs to be present as fasta file:

Running the extender

Database extension is a three-step pipeline:

  1. For each genome, extract marker genes and align against the current mOTUsv2 database

for i in $(cat extend_mOTUs_DB/TEST/genomes.list); do ./extend_mOTUs_DB/SCRIPTS/extend_mOTUs_addGenome.sh extend_mOTUs_DB/TEST/genomes/$i.fasta $i extended_db extend_mOTUs_DB/SCRIPTS/ $MOTUS_DIR; done
  1. Append genomes that add new information to the database and rebuild a new mOTUsv2 DB.

./extend_mOTUs_DB/SCRIPTS/extend_mOTUs_generateDB.sh extend_mOTUs_DB/TEST/genomes.list newdb extend_mOTUs_DB/TEST/taxonomy_file.txt extended_db extend_mOTUs_DB/SCRIPTS/ $MOTUS_DIR
  1. Replace the old database with the new database:

mv mOTUs_v2-2.1.1/db_mOTU mOTUs_v2-2.1.1/db_mOTU_before_extension/
mv extended_db/newdb/db_mOTU mOTUs_v2-2.1.1/

Difference between original and extended database

Run mOTUsv2 before and after extension with standard parameters:

# Run before extension
mOTUs_v2-2.1.1/motus profile -g 1 -c -s extend_mOTUs_DB/TEST/test1_single.fastq > before_extension.motus
# Run after extension
mOTUs_v2-2.1.1/motus profile -g 1 -c -s extend_mOTUs_DB/TEST/test1_single.fastq > after_extension.motus

Check differences between both profiles

diff after_extension.motus before_extension.motus
