RABEMA_EVALUATE(1) RABEMA_EVALUATE(1)

NAME

rabema_evaluate - RABEMA Evaluation

SYNOPSIS

rabema_evaluate [OPTIONS] --reference REF.fa --in-gsi IN.gsi --in-bam MAPPING.{sam,bam}

DESCRIPTION

Compare the SAM/bam output MAPPING.sam/MAPPING.bam of any read mapper against the RABEMA gold standard previously built with rabema_build_gold_standard. The input is a reference FASTA file, a gold standard interval (GSI) file and the SAM/BAM input to evaluate.

The input SAM/BAM file must be sorted by queryname. The program will create a FASTA index file REF.fa.fai for fast random access to the reference.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
Display the help message.
--version
Display version information.
-v, --verbose
Enable verbose output.
-vv, --very-verbose
Enable even more verbose output.

Input / Output:

-r, --reference INPUT_FILE
Path to load reference FASTA from. Valid filetypes are: .sam[.*], .raw[.*], .gbk[.*], .frn[.*], .fq[.*], .fna[.*], .ffn[.*], .fastq[.*], .fasta[.*], .faa[.*], .fa[.*], .embl[.*], and .bam, where * is any of the following extensions: gz, bz2, and bgzf for transparent (de)compression.
-g, --in-gsi INPUT_FILE
Path to load gold standard intervals from. If compressed using gzip, the file will be decompressed on the fly. Valid filetype is: .gsi[.*], where * is any of the following extensions: gz for transparent (de)compression.
-b, --in-bam INPUT_FILE
Path to load the read mapper SAM or BAM output from. Valid filetypes are: .sam[.*] and .bam, where * is any of the following extensions: gz, bz2, and bgzf for transparent (de)compression.
--out-tsv OUTPUT_FILE
Path to write the statistics to as TSV. Valid filetype is: .rabema_report_tsv.
--dont-check-sorting
Do not check sortedness (by name) of input SAM/BAM files. This is required if the reads are not sorted by name in the original FASTQ files. Files from the SRA and ENA generally are sorted.

Benchmark Parameters:

--oracle-mode
Enable oracle mode. This is used for simulated data when the input GSI file gives exactly one position that is considered as the true sample position. For simulated data.
--only-unique-reads
Consider only reads that a single alignment in the mapping result file. Useful for precision computation.
--match-N
When set, N matches all characters without penalty.
--distance-metric STRING
Set distance metric. Valid values: hamming, edit. Default: edit. One of hamming and edit. Default: edit.
-e, --max-error INTEGER
Maximal error rate to build gold standard for in percent. This parameter is an integer and relative to the read length. The error rate is ignored in oracle mode, here the distance of the read at the sample position is taken, individually for each read. Default: 0 Default: 0.
-c, --benchmark-category STRING
Set benchmark category. One of {all, all-best, any-best. Default: all One of all, all-best, and any-best. Default: all.
--trust-NM
When set, we trust the alignment and distance from SAM/BAM file and no realignment is performed. Off by default.
--extra-pos-tag STRING
If the CIGAR string is absent, the missing alignment end position can be provided by this BAM tag.
--ignore-paired-flags
When set, we ignore all SAM/BAM flags related to pairing. This is necessary when analyzing SAM from SOAP's soap2sam.pl script.
--DONT-PANIC
Do not stop program execution if an additional hit was found that indicates that the gold standard is incorrect.

Logging:

--show-missed-intervals
Show details for each missed interval from the GSI.
--show-invalid-hits
Show details for invalid hits (with too high error rate).
--show-additional-hits
Show details for additional hits (low enough error rate but not in gold standard.
--show-hits
Show details for hit intervals.
--show-try-hit
Show details for each alignment in SAM/BAM input.

The occurrence of "invalid" hits in the read mapper's output is not an error. If there are additional hits, however, this shows an error in the gold standard.

RETURN VALUES

A return value of 0 indicates success, any other value indicates an error.

MEMORY REQUIREMENTS

From version 1.1, great care has been taken to keep the memory requirements as low as possible.

The evaluation step needs to store the whole reference sequence in memory but little more memory. So, for the human genome, the memory requirements are below 4 GB, regardless of the size of the GSI or SAM/BAM file.
