  • Fastq manipulation (UMI)

    Greetings,

    I have some targeted DNA seq data with UMIs, where the UMI barcode is part of the read header as such:

    NB500916:322:HVV53AFXX:1:11101:8946:1524 1:N:0:TGAAGAGA+AATGCTCCGT
    CAGGGTGGAAAAGGGGTCCTGGGCTTCAGCTGAAGGGCAAACTGCCCAGTGTAGGAGTCCGTCCAGGACAGGCAG

    Where TGAAGAGA is the index and AATGCTCCGT is the UMI id.

    To run through various UMI pipelines I need to have the UMI is as part of the read ID (to use with UMI-tools) or as the actual sequence (to use with fgbio).

    So the two outputs I need are (highlighting the changes):

    1)

    NB500916:322:HVV53AFXX:1:11101:8946:1524:AATGCTCCGT 1:N:0:TGAAGAGA+AATGCTCCGT
    CAGGGTGGAAAAGGGGTCCTGGGCTTCAGCTGAAGGGCAAACTGCCCAGTGTAGGAGTCCGTCCAGGACAGGCAG

    2)

    NB500916:322:HVV53AFXX:1:11101:8946:1524 1:N:0:TGAAGAGA+AATGCTCCGT
    AATGCTCCGT

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi dimo,

    Are you analyzing this data on a linux machine? The following sed command should do what you want for the first case:

    sed "s/\(NB.*\)\(\s.*+\)\(.*\)/\1:\3\2\3/g" original_file > new_file

    This relies on matching 3 patterns in your header lines; 1) 'NB' up until the first space, 2) the space until the first + symbol, and 3) anything following the + symbol (i.e. your barcode). Once these 3 patterns are matched, the next part (\1:\3\2\3) rearranges the patterns in the order that you want.

    For case 2, do you want just the barcode on the next line, or should the barcode be in front of the actual sequence?

    Cheers,

    Matt.

      Hi Matt, thanks for the help. Using a a linux machine, and the sed code works a treat. For case two I just need the barcode on the next line, as AnnotateBamWithUmis will just match bam and fast based on read ID and add sequence to the RX annotation of the bam. Which I can then use downstream.

      Thanks again, really appreciate it.

        In that case, you can rearrange that sed command like so:

        sed "s/\(NB.*\)\(\s.*+\)\(.*\)/\1\2\3\n\3/g" original_file > new_file

        This is now saying 'insert a newline character (\n) before writing the barcode'. You probably don't need all that pattern matching in this case but since it's already written you may as well leave it.

        So this will slip the barcode in just before the sequence, which will be written on the next line. If you don't want the sequence in the file at all, I would probably grep the headers out, then pipe them to the sed command:

        grep "NB" original_file | sed "s/\(NB.*\)\(\s.*+\)\(.*\)/\1\2\3\n\3/g" > new_file

        Cheers,

        Matt.

          I know this was answered almost a year ago, but I'm interested in case 2, except that I would want to keep the original sequence, just put the umi sequence infront.

          So:

          NB500916:322:HVV53AFXX:1:11101:8946:1524 1:N:0:TGAAGAGA+AATGCTCCGT
          AATGCTCCGTCAGGGTGGAAAAGGGGTCCTGGGCTTCAGCTGAAGGGCAAACTGCCCAGTGTAGGAGTCCGTCCAGGACAGGCAG

          I got as far as creating the new line with the umi sequence, but then the read sequence ends up in a third line

          Also, my data would be FASTQ, so I'm guessing I'd also need to add some bogus quality scores? How can I add characters to every 4th line?

            Hi CarnifexRex!

            That's getting a bit trickier because you want to do something with the 'next' line as well as the matched line. Here is how I would do it, although I think there are probably cleaner ways:

            sed "/^NB/{N;s/\n/\t/}" original_file | sed "s/\(^NB.*+\)\(.*\)\t\(.*\)/\1\2\n\2\3/g" > new_file

            In this case, I'm using sed to grab the line starting with "NB", then also grabbing the next line, then replacing the newline character with a tab. This means I can then pipe this whole thing (which contains all the information we need) to another sed command. Here, pattern 1 is the "NB" up until the plus symbol, pattern 2 is the UMI, and pattern 3 is the sequence. The next bit rearranges these patterns as you wanted.

            If you want to make it look like a fastq file, you can continue adding characters to the second sed command. To simply add dummy "?" symbols for the quality, you could do this:

            sed "/^NB/{N;s/\n/\t/}" original_file | sed "s/\(^NB.*+\)\(.*\)\t\(.*\)/\1\2\n\2\3\n+\n$(printf '?%.0s' {0..84})/g"

            Just double check that the output looks right, etc. I wrote this fairly quick and probably didn't test it enough! If there are any unexpected tab or newline characters in the file it won't work .

            Let me know how you go!

            Cheers,

            Matt.

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
