fastp的特性

[編輯]
  • 對數據自動進行全方位質控,生成人性化的報告
  • 過濾功能(低質量,太短,太多N……);
  • 對每一個序列的頭部或尾部,計算滑動窗內的質量均值,並將均值較低的子序列進行切除(類似Trimmomatic的做法,但是快非常多);
  • 全局剪裁 (在頭/尾部,不影響去重),對於Illumina下機數據往往最後一到兩個cycle需要這樣處理;
  • 去除接頭污染。厲害的是,你不用輸入接頭序列,因為算法會自動識別接頭序列並進行剪裁;
  • 對於雙端測序(PE)的數據,軟體會自動查找每一對read的重疊區域,並對該重疊區域中不匹配的鹼基對進行校正;
  • 去除尾部的polyG。對於Illumina NextSeq/NovaSeq的測序數據,因為是兩色法發光,polyG是常有的事,所以該特性對該兩類測序平台默認打開;
  • 對於PE數據中的overlap區間中不一致的鹼基對,依據質量值進行校正;
  • 可以對帶分子標籤(UMI)的數據進行預處理,不管UMI在插入片段還是在index上,都可以輕鬆處理; -可以將輸出進行分拆,而且支持兩種模式,分別是指定分拆的個數,或者分拆後每個文件的行數;

fastp完美支持gzip的輸入和輸出,同時支持SE和PE數據,而且不但支持像Illumina平台的short read數據,也在一定程度上支持了PacBio/Nanopore的long reads數據。

fastp軟體會生成HTML格式的報告,而且該報告中沒有任何一張靜態圖片,所有的圖表都是使用JavaScript動態繪製,非常具有交互性。想要看一下樣板報告的,可以去以下連結:http://opengene.org/fastp/fastp.html

而且軟體的開發者還充分考慮到了各種自動化分析的需求,不但生成了人可讀的HTML報告,還生成了程序可讀性非常強的JSON結果,該JSON報告中的數據包含了HTML報告100%的信息,而且該JSON文件的格式還是特殊定製的,不但程序讀得爽,你用任何一款文本編輯器打開,一眼過去也會看得明明白白。想要看一下JSON結果長什麼樣的,可以去以下連結:http://opengene.org/fastp/fastp.json

雖然參數看起來比較多,但常用的主要包括以下幾個部分:

  • 輸入輸出文件設置
  • 接頭處理
  • 全局裁剪(即直接剪掉起始和末端低質量鹼基)
  • 滑窗質量剪裁 (與trimmomatic相似)
  • 過濾過短序列
  • 校正鹼基(用於雙端測序)
  • 質量過濾
1、接頭處理
[編輯]

fastp默認啟用了接頭處理,但是可以使用-A命令來關掉。fastp可以自動化地查找接頭序列並進行剪裁,也就是說你可以不輸入任何的接頭序列,fastp全自動搞定了!對於SE數據,你還是可以-a參數來輸入你的接頭,而對於PE數據則完全沒有必要,fastp基於PE數據的overlap分析可以更準確地查找接頭,去得更乾淨,而且對於一些接頭本身就有鹼基不匹配情況處理得更好。fastp對於接頭去除會有一個匯總的報告。

2、全局裁剪
[編輯]

fastp可以對所有read在頭部和尾部進行統一剪裁,該功能在去除一些測序質量不好的cycle比較有用,比如151*2的PE測序中,最後一個cycle通常質量是非常低的,需要剪裁掉。使用-f和-t分別指定read1的頭部和尾部的剪裁,使用-F和-T分別指定read2的頭部和尾部的剪裁。

3、滑窗質量剪裁
[編輯]

很多時候,一個read的低質量序列都是集中在read的末端,也有少部分是在read的開頭。fastp支持像Trimmomatic那樣對滑動窗口中的鹼基計算平均質量值,然後將不符合的滑窗直接剪裁掉。使用-5參數開啟在5』端,也就是read的開頭的剪裁,使用-3參數開啟在3』端,也就是read的末尾的剪裁。使用-W參數指定滑動窗大小,默認是4,使用-M參數指定要求的平均質量值,默認是20,也就是Q20。

4、過濾過短序列
[編輯]

默認開啟多序列過濾,默認值為15,使用-L(--disable_length_filtering)禁止此默認選項。或使用-l(--length_required)自定義最短序列。

5、校正鹼基(用於雙端測序)
[編輯]

fastp支持對PE數據的每一對read進行分析,查找它們的overlap區間,然後對於overlap區間中不一致的鹼基,如果發現其中一個質量非常高,而另一個非常低,則可以將非常低質量的鹼基改為相應的非常高質量值的鹼基值。此選項默認關閉,可使用-c(--correction)開啟。

6、質量過濾
[編輯]

fastp可以對低質量序列,較多N的序列,該功能默認是啟用的,但可以使用-Q參數關閉。使用-q參數來指定合格的phred質量值,比如-q 15表示質量值大於等於Q15的即為合格,然後使用-u參數來指定最多可以有多少百分比的質量不合格鹼基。比如-q 15 -u 40表示一個read最多只能有40%的鹼基的質量值低於Q15,否則會被扔掉。使用-n可以限定一個read中最多能有多少個N。
