Expected output

Quality control

atlas run qc
#or
atlas run all

Runs quality control of single or paired end reads and summarizes the main QC stats in reports/QC_report.html.

Per sample it generates:

  • {sample}/sequence_quality_control/{sample}_QC_{fraction}.fastq.gz
  • Various quality stats in sample}/sequence_quality_control/read_stats

Fractions:

When the input was paired end, we will put out three the reads in three fractions R1,R2 and se The se are the paired end reads which lost their mate during the filtering. The se are seamlessly integrated in the next steps.

Assembly

atlas run assembly
#or
atlas run all

Besides the reports/assembly_report.html this rule outputs the following files per sample:

  • {sample}/{sample}_contigs.fasta
  • {sample}/sequence_alignment/{sample}.bam
  • {sample}/assembly/contig_stats/final_contig_stats.txt

Binning

atlas run binning
#or
atlas run all

When you use different binners (e.g. metabat, maxbin) and a binner-reconciliator (e.g. DAS Tool), then Atlas will produce for each binner and sample:

  • {sample}/binning/{binner}/cluster_attribution.tsv

which shows the attribution of contigs to bins. For the final_binner it produces the

  • reports/bin_report_{binner}.html

See an example as a summary of the quality of all bins.

Genomes

atlas run genomes
#or
atlas run all

As the binning can predict several times the same genome it is recommended to de-replicate these genomes. For now we use DeRep to filter and de-replicate the genomes. The Metagenome assembled genomes are then renamed, but we keep mapping files.

  • genomes/Dereplication
  • genomes/clustering/contig2genome.tsv
  • genomes/clustering/allbins2genome.tsv

The fasta sequence of the dereplicated and renamed genomes can be found in genomes/genomes and their quality estimation are in genomes/checkm/completeness.tsv. The quantification of the genomes can be found in:

  • genomes/counts/median_coverage_genomes.tsv
  • genomes/counts/raw_counts_genomes.tsv

See in Atlas example how to analyze these abundances.

The predicted genes and translated protein sequences are in genomes/annotations/genes.

Taxonomic adnnotation

annotations:
  - gtdb_tree
  - gtdb_taxonomy
  - checkm_tree
  - checkm_taxonomy

Different annotations can be turned on and off in the config file under the heading annotations: A taxonomy for the dereplicated genomes is proposed GTDB. The results can be found in genomes/taxonomy. The genomes are placed in a phylogenetic tree separately for bacteria and archaea (if there are any) using the GTDB markers. In addition a tree for bacteria and archaea can be generated based on the checkm markers. All trees are properly rooted using the midpoint. The files can be found in genomes/tree

Gene Catalog

atlas run all
# or
atlas run genecatalog

The gene catalog takes either genes predicted from the genomes or all genes predicted on the contigs and clusters them according to the configuration. This rule produces the following output file for the whole dataset.

  • Genecatalog/gene_catalog.fna
  • Genecatalog/gene_catalog.faa
  • Genecatalog/annotations/eggNog.tsv.gz
