This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.7.0). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.

The command set.seed(20221025) was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.

Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.

Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.

Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version e6f6c2e. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

Short Reads mapping and Gene Quantification

STAR only

We used STAR for mapping reads to either 1) their own species reference genome or 2) an alternate sister reference genome. The pipeline is the same, except that the code will change index.

We index each genome using the following bash script:

#!/bin/bash

STAR --runMode genomeGenerate --runThreadN 8 --genomeDir $REFDIR --genomeFastaFiles $GENOME --genomeSAindexNbases 10 --sjdbGTFfile $ANNOTATION --sjdbGTFfeatureExon exon --sjdbOverhang 149

The parameters were chosen for the following reasons:
--runMode genomeGenerate indicates we are in the mode to build genome index
--genomeSAindexNbases 22 should be min(18,log2[max(GenomeLength/NumberOfReferences,ReadLength)]) according to the manual. We have a genome of ~9000000000 and with around 1475 contigs so our value is around 22.
--sjdbGTFfile $ANNOTATION --sjdbGTFfeatureExon exon we use these parameters to indicates that we want the annotation file to be already accounted for.
--sjdbOverhang 149 this should be ideally (mate_length -1), and our reads are PE150.

After mapping, we obtained alignment statistics from the *_Log.final.out file and filled out the metadata table with it.

grep 'Number of input reads' *_Log.final.out
grep 'Average input read length' *_Log.final.out
grep 'Uniquely mapped reads number' *_Log.final.out
grep 'Number of reads mapped to multiple loci' *_Log.final.out
grep 'Number of reads mapped to too many loci' *_Log.final.out
grep 'Number of reads unmapped: too many mismatches' *Log.final.out
grep 'Number of reads unmapped: too short' *Log.final.out
grep 'Number of reads unmapped: other' *Log.final.out

STAR only

Quantification using GeneCount

We can note that the option --quantMode GeneCounts from STAR produces the same output as the htseq-count tool if we used the –-sjdbGTFfile option.

In the output file {locust}_ReadsPerGene.out.tab we can obtain the read counts per gene depending if our data is unstranded (column 2) or stranded (columns 3 and 4).

column 1: gene ID
column 2: counts for unstranded RNA-seq.
column 3: counts for the 1st read strand aligned with RNA
column 4: counts for the 2nd read strand aligned with RNA (the most common protocol nowadays)

For our pilot S. gregaria project, we know we used Illumina stranded kit but to check we can with the following code:

grep -v "N_" {locust}_ReadsPerGene.out.tab | awk '{unst+=$2;forw+=$3;rev+=$4}END{print unst,forw,rev}'

#or as a loop
for i in *_ReadsPerGene.out.tab; do echo $i; grep -v "N_" $i | awk '{unst+=$2;forw+=$3;rev+=$4}END{print unst,forw,rev}'; done

In a stranded library preparation protocol, there should be a strong imbalance between number of reads mapped to known genes in forward versus reverse strands. This is what we observe for example on S. cancellata libraries here.

module_spider

PREFERRED OPTION: We need to extract in our case the 1st and 4th columns for each file.
