Ancient DNA Authentication in time series data

The output from metaDMG now counts some basic stats that you would want to extract for your project but also for potential future publications or like, such as the total number of reads classified to any taxonomic level, total number of reads classified within a superkingdom and like. This can be obtained from the files in the data/lca/ folder and using simple text parsing comments that you have already been using in the course first two days ('wc -l' or 'grep -c'). Please collect total number of reads classified per sample, total number of reads classified to plants per sample and total reads classified to animals per sample.

Please also ensure you have performed the last step in the tutorial from yesterday, e.g. converting the metaDMG output to a .tsv file. Today we will explore a few examples of how to visualize such data in R.

Examples/starter code could be:

library(gghighlight)
dat100_filt |>
  ungroup() |>
  inner_join(metadata) |> 
  filter(fit == "good") |> 
  ggplot() +
  geom_jitter(aes(x=as.numeric(years_bp), y=A_b, size = n_reads), alpha =0.5) +
  gghighlight(n_reads > 500) +
  xlab("Years BP") +
  ylab("DNA damage") +
  labs(color = "Values for taxa with \n>500 reads", size = "Number of reads")

In the above one could play around with filtering for certain groups of organisms say "plants" for instance. This can be done by adding filter(grepl("Viridiplantae", taxa_path)). Try a different plot type of your own.

We can also plot the taxa identified, but best would be to convert the read counts to percentage or another normalized value.

dat100_filt |> 
  filter(grepl("Eukaryota", taxa_path), fit == "good") %>%  # Filter rows where taxa_path contains "Viridiplantae"
  inner_join(metadata) |>
  group_by(label) %>%  # Group by label
  mutate(percentage = n_reads / sum(n_reads) * 100) %>%  # Calculate percentage
  ungroup() |>
  filter(percentage > 0.1) |>
  ggplot(aes(y = name, x = years_bp, fill = percentage)) +
  geom_tile() +
  labs(x = "Label", y = "Taxa") +
  theme_bw() +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1, vjust = 0.5))   # Rotate x-axis labels

Reflect on what are you observing in the different plots, are there taxa that makes sense for an irish mid-late Holocene environment. If you are not familiar with the scientific names try searching GBIF, please note the g__ is an addition we have made to the name and needs to be removed prioir to search.

Collect plots, reflect on what you are observing. Start thinking of how you can present your groups results, thoughts etc on friday afternoon.

Euka - a tetrapodic and arthropodic taxa detection from modern and ancient environmental DNA using pangenomic reference graphs

To run euka we first need to download the graph database:

cd ~/course/wdir/day3
mkdir euka_dir 
wget -nc -l1 --no-parent -P . ftp://ftp.healthtech.dtu.dk:/public/euka_files/*

This can take a few minutes, please be patient. Once everything is downloaded we can run euka. With --euka_dir we define the path to the directory containing our graph database. -o is your chosen output prefix and --outFrag produces a list of all read names per taxon (we need this for later). You can always check out all available command options for euka with the following command:

~/course/data/vgan/bin/vgan euka
cd ~/course/wdir/day3/
~/course/data/vgan/bin/vgan euka -fq1 path/to/your/input/fastq --euka_dir ~/course/wdir/day3/euka_dir/ -o [output prefix] --outFrag -t 5

If you would like to input more than one fastq file to be analysed together please use a file descriptor:

~/course/data/vgan/bin/vgan euka -fq1 <(zcat path/to/your/input/fastq1 path/to/your/input/fastq2) --euka_dir ~/course/wdir/day3/euka_dir/ -o [output prefix] --outFrag

euka outputs a few different files. The first look should be in the [output prefix]_detected.tsv file, which provides an overview of all detected taxa.

  • [output prefix]_abundance.tsv file provides an overview of all taxa in the database and how many reads have mapped to it.
  • [output prefix]_coverage.tsv file shows the number of reads mapped to every bin of a detected taxon
  • [output prefix]_inSize.tsv file shows the fragment length of each read assigned to a detected taxa
  • [output prefix]_FragNames.tsv file shows the read names of each read assigned to a detected taxa
  • For each detected taxa you get a .prof file which contains the damage profil for the reads of that taxon - you can have a look if its ancient. All these results can be plotted using provided plotting scripts. Please be aware that these script need specific R packages installed, to be able to plot you need to create a conda environment with the provided euka.yml file:
conda env create -f ~/course/data/vgan/bin/euka.yml
conda activate euka

Now, we can plot:

~/course/data/vgan/share/vgan/plottingScripts/visualize_detected_taxa.sh [output prefix]

soibean - Species specific taxonomic classification and abundance estimation

soibean takes a fastq as input that is filtered to only contain reads that belong to one taxon. After detecting taxa with euka you can extract all reads from one detected taxon. For this we need the tool seqtk - it should be available in provided conda env2 or mapping. Otherwise, it would need to be installed using conda.

less -S [output prefix]_FragNames.tsv | sed '[row number]!d' | sed 's/\t/\n/g' | seqtk subseq [path/to/your/input/fastq] - | gzip > [output].fq.gz

The extracted fastq can be used to identify the contributing species with soibean. Again we first need to download the database:

cd ~/course/wdir/day3/
mkdir soibean_dir
cd soibean_dir
wget -nc --no-parent -P . ftp://ftp.healthtech.dtu.dk:/public/soibean_files/*
cp -r ~/course/data/vgan/share/vgan/soibean_dir/tree_dir/ tree_dir

soibean does not work on the entire soibean_db.og graph, but only on a user chosen subgraph. We need to extract a subgraph for a detected taxon. For a list of detected taxa and the correct name to use, have a look in the [output prefix]_detected.tsv file from euka. To extract a subgraph we need to go through the following steps:

cd ~/course/wdir/day3/soibean_dir/
wget -O make_graph_files.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grenaud/vgan/refs/heads/main/share/vgan/soibean_dir/make_graph_files.sh
chmod u+x make_graph_files.sh
./make_graph_files.sh [taxon name]

Once the script has run you can check your directory with ls and you should see multiple graph files that start with your taxon name. Now, we can run soibean. Again the --soibean_dir option defines the path to our graph file, or more specifically the path to your newly created subgraph files for your choice of taxon. --tree_dir specifies the directory where all the phylogenetic guide trees for each taxon are. --dbprefix helps soibean identify the subgraph and all additional files for your chosen taxon. You can always check out all available command options for soibean with the following command:

~/course/data/vgan/bin/vgan soibean

To run soibean we use the following command:

cd ~/course/wdir/day3/
~/course/data/vgan/bin/vgan soibean -fq1 path/to/your/taxon/input/fastq --soibean_dir ~/course/wdir/day3/soibean_dir/ --tree_dir ~/course/wdir/day3/soibean_dir/tree_dir/ --dbprefix [taxon name] -o [output prefix] -t 10

Please know the MCMC used in soibean does a lot of calculations and is therefore quite slow especially with larger input fastqs. To save some time you can limit the number of iterations the MCMC runs, but that will cause high higher level of uncertainty in the prediction and likely cause the MCMC statistics to less optimal.

~/course/data/vgan/bin/vgan soibean -fq1 path/to/your/taxon/input/fastq --soibean_dir ~/course/wdir/day3/soibean_dir/ --tree_dir ~/course/wdir/day3/soibean_dir/tree_dir/ --dbprefix [taxon name] -o [output prefix] -t 10 --iter 110 --burnin 10 --chain 1 -k 2

soibean outputs a seperate file per chain per k (estimated number of source) the endings of each file are a combination of k and the chain number. For example the beanOut_Results13.mcmc file is for one source (k = 1) and chain number 3 (c = 3).

  • [output prefix]Resultskc.mcmc contains all accepted moves of the MCMC
  • [output prefix]Tracekc.detail.mcmc contains all accepted and rejected moves of the MCMC
  • [output prefix]Diagnosticsk0.txt contains MCMC diagnostics about the convergence
  • [output prefix]ProportionEstimatek.txt contains diagnostics about the convergence of the proportion parameter
  • [output prefix]BranchEstimatek.txt contains diagnostics about the convergence of the branch position parameter You can plot soibeans results with two different scripts. Again please create and activate the conda environment first:
conda env create -f ~/course/data/vgan/bin/soibean.yml
conda activate soibean
Rscript ~/course/data/vgan/share/vgan/plottingScripts/soibeanPlotk.R [output prefix]
Rscript ~/course/data/vgan/share/vgan/plottingScripts/soibeanPlots.R ~/course/data/soibean_dir/tree_dir/[taxon name].new.dnd [output prefix]Resultskc.mcmc 

For more details and command options please find a complete README.md for both euka and soibean here: https://github.com/grenaud/vgan ...

Phylogenetic placement tutorial

The goal of this part of the tutorial is to place a consensus mitogenome of the elephantid reads into a phylogeny. To do this, you will extract the elephantid reads, re-map them to a reference mitogenome, call a consensus mitogenome, and place the mitogenome into a phylogenetic context.

Activate the conda environment and make a new working directory for the tutorial

conda activate env2
mkdir ~/course/wdir/phylogenetic_placement
cd ~/course/wdir/phylogenetic_placement

Extraction of the elephantid-assigned reads for the lca bam file

Extract a list of elephantid read IDs from the lca file in the 'mapping' working directory. Update the name of the '.filtered.metaDMG.bam.lca.gz' file as appropriate.

zgrep 'Elephantidae' ~/course/wdir/mapping/PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.filtered.metaDMG.bam.lca.gz | cut -f1 > PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.elephantidae.readID.txt

Check how many read IDs were extracted

wc -l PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.elephantidae.readID.txt

Extract the elephantid-assigned reads in fastq format

seqtk subseq ~/course/data/day1/fastq/PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.fq.gz PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.elephantidae.readID.txt | gzip > PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.elephantidae.fq.gz

Check how many reads were extracted. The count should be same as read ID count calculated above.

zcat PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.elephantidae.fq.gz | awk '{s++}END{print s/4}'

Map and filter the elephantid-assigned reads to the woolly mammoth reference mitogenome

Retrieve the woolly mammoth reference mitochondrial genome from NCBI

mkdir ~/course/wdir/reference_mitogenomes
wget "http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=nucleotide&id=NC_007596.2&rettype=fasta" -O ~/course/wdir/reference_mitogenomes/Mammuthus_primigenius_mtDNA.fasta

Check that the woolly mammoth reference mitochondrial genome downloaded ok

head ~/course/wdir/reference_mitogenomes/Mammuthus_primigenius_mtDNA.fasta

Build a bowtie2 reference of the woolly mammoth mitochondrial genome. Note that bowtie2 will output the index files to the current working directory, so we need to change directory, build the reference, and then change back

cd ~/course/wdir/reference_mitogenomes
bowtie2-build Mammuthus_primigenius_mtDNA.fasta Mammuthus_primigenius_mtDNA.fasta
cd ~/course/wdir/phylogenetic_placement

Check that the build worked. There should be six .bt2 files.

ls ~/course/wdir/reference_mitogenomes

Map the elephantid-assigned reads to the woolly mammoth mitochondrial genome. Here, we are using a map-quality cut-off of 20.

bowtie2 --threads 5 -x ~/course/wdir/reference_mitogenomes/Mammuthus_primigenius_mtDNA.fasta -U PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.elephantidae.fq.gz --no-unal | samtools view -q 20 -bS - > PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.bam

The standard output gives the bowtie2 alignment statistics. How many reads were not aligned with bowtie2?

Check the count of reads in the final bam file using samtools

samtools flagstat PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.bam | head -1

Why is there a discrepancy between the aligned read count from samtools and bowtie2?

Calling a consensus sequence for the elephantid mitogenome

First, we need to sort the bam file using samtools

samtools sort PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.bam > PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.sort.bam

For fun, we can calculate the mean depth of coverage for the bam file using samtools

samtools depth -a PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.sort.bam | cut -f3 | datamash mean 1

Calling the consensus using angsd. As angsd may give a shared library load error (you can check), we can reinstall from conda. If doing this, hit 'y' when prompted.

conda install bioconda::angsd
angsd -dofasta 2 -docounts 1 -minmapq 20 -minq 25 -i PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.sort.bam -out PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.sort
gzip -d PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.sort.fa.gz

Now edit the fasta header and rename it sample26_mamPri_mq20. We will use the nano text editor. Install and hit 'y' when prompted.

conda install nano
nano PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.sort.fa

Make the edit by replacing '>NC_007596.2' with '>sample26_mamPri_mq20' on the first line. Exit with 'Ctrl+X' followed by 'y' followed by 'enter'.

Merge the elephantid-consensus fasta file with a reference panel of 45 elephantid mitogenomes

Download the 45 elephantid mitogenomes

wget "https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5kit6qpxuvschmu3r4zy0/45_elephantidae.fa?rlkey=chidwctyt82yajn4cuh99qx20&dl=0" -O Elephantidae_45_mtDNA.fa

Merge the sample26 and 45 elephantid mitogenome fastas into a single file

cat Elephantidae_45_mtDNA.fa PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.sort.fa > 45_elephantidae_sample26.fa

Align the mitogenomes using mafft

mafft --thread 5  45_elephantidae_sample26.fa > 45_elephantidae_sample26.mafft

Build a Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic tree with bootstrap support

First, we need to install raxml-ng. Hit 'y' when prompted during installation. The following command uses five threads for analytical speed, 200 bootstrap replicates for branch support, and sets the two American mastodon (Mammut americanum) sequences as outgroup. The --redo flag allows for file overwriting if the analysis needs to be re-run.

conda install raxml-ng
raxml-ng --all --msa 45_elephantidae_sample26.mafft --model GTR+G --prefix EleMT --threads 5 --seed 2 --bs-trees 200 --outgroup "ENA|EF632344|EF632344.1.Mammut.americanum.mitochondrion.complete.genome.","ENA|KY364233|KY364233.1.Mammut.americanum.mitochondrion.complete.genome." --redo

The key output file is 'EleMT.raxml.support'. If we add the '.tre' extension, then this file can be opened by a variety of tree editors

cp EleMT.raxml.support EleMT.raxml.support.tre

The EleMT.raxml.support.tre tree file can be downloaded and visualized on http://etetoolkit.org/treeview/ or with FigTree (https://github.com/rambaut/figtree/releases)

Optional additional phylogenetic placement exercise: what are the impacts of reference bias?

Here we use a higher map quality cut-off (mq30) and align to a second reference mitogenome (African elephant) to test the consistency of our results.

First, run these commands (can be done in one)

wget "http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=nucleotide&id=NC_000934.1&rettype=fasta" -O ~/course/wdir/reference_mitogenomes/Loxodonta_africana_mtDNA.fasta

gzip -d PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Loxodonta_africana.mq30.sort.fa.gz

Next, we need to individually correct the headers in the three new consensus sequences

nano PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.mq30.sort.fa

Make the edit by replacing '>NC_007596.2' with '>sample26_mamPri_mq30' on the first line. Exit with 'Ctrl+X' followed by 'y' followed by 'enter'.

nano PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Loxodonta_africana.sort.fa

Make the edit by replacing '>NC_007596.2' with '>sample26_loxAfr_mq20' on the first line. Exit with 'Ctrl+X' followed by 'y' followed by 'enter'.

nano PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Loxodonta_africana.mq30.sort.fa

Make the edit by replacing '>NC_007596.2' with '>sample26_loxAfr_mq30' on the first line. Exit with 'Ctrl+X' followed by 'y' followed by 'enter'.

Lastly, run these commands (can be done in one)

cat Elephantidae_45_mtDNA.fa PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.sort.fa PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Mammuthus_primigenius.mq30.sort.fa PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Loxodonta_africana.sort.fa PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.Loxodonta_africana.mq30.sort.fa > 45_elephantidae_sample26_v2.fa
mafft --thread 5  45_elephantidae_sample26_v2.fa > 45_elephantidae_sample26_v2.mafft
raxml-ng --all --msa 45_elephantidae_sample26_v2.mafft --model GTR+G --prefix EleMT_v2 --threads 5 --seed 2 --bs-trees 200 --outgroup "ENA|EF632344|EF632344.1.Mammut.americanum.mitochondrion.complete.genome.","ENA|KY364233|KY364233.1.Mammut.americanum.mitochondrion.complete.genome." --redo
cp EleMT_v2.raxml.support EleMT_v2.raxml.support.tre

The EleMT_v2.raxml.support.tre tree file can be downloaded and visualized on http://etetoolkit.org/treeview/ or with FigTree (https://github.com/rambaut/figtree/releases)

Are there any differences in the mitogenome branch lengths and their phylogenetic positions? Why might there be these differences?

quicksand and kallisto analysis

Unfortunately we couldn't get quicksand to run on the virtual machines, so I ran quicksand on the test samples, and then copied the output to $qsdir.

activate environments, etc

conda activate env2
conda install kallisto=0.50

qsdir=~/course/data/day3/results/quicksand
refdir=~/course/data/day3/db/refseq_mtdna_genomes_byfam

ls $qsdir
ls $refdir | head

find $qsdir | head

Refseq mtDNA genomes

Refseq mtDNA genomes are in $refdir, organized by Family.

Quicksand output is also organized by Family:

ls $qsdir/out

look at the quicksand final_report.tsv

less -S $qsdir/final_report.tsv

awk 'NR == 1 || ($22 == "++" && $24 > 500)' $qsdir/final_report.tsv | less

get the ancient families with at least 500 reads

ancient_fams=$(awk '$22 == "++" && $24 > 500' $qsdir/final_report.tsv | cut -f11)
echo $ancient_fams

Do kallisto analysis on only the ancient families

mkdir -p ~/course/wdir/kal
cd ~/course/wdir/kal

get the quicksand extracted reads for each ancient family

for fam in $ancient_fams ; do
   b=$qsdir/out/$fam/1-extracted/PRI-TJPGK-CATN-26-28.fq_extractedReads-$fam.bam
   samtools fastq $b | gzip -c > $fam.reads.fq.gz
done

make sure we have the concatenated refs

for fam in $ancient_fams ; do
   ls $refdir/$fam.fasta.gz
   zcat $refdir/$fam.fasta.gz | grep -c '>'
done

make a kallisto index for the ancient families

for fam in $ancient_fams ; do
   ls $refdir/$fam.fasta.gz
   kallisto index -i $fam.k21.idx -k21 $refdir/$fam.fasta.gz
done

quantify the read counts per family

for fam in $ancient_fams ; do
   kallisto quant -o $fam.kal --single -l50 -s10 -i $fam.k21.idx $fam.reads.fq.gz
done

look at the top hits

sort -k5,5nr Hominidae.kal/abundance.tsv

Top 10 hits from each family

for fam in $ancient_fams ; do
   echo
   echo $fam
   sort -k5,5nr $fam.kal/abundance.tsv | awk '{print $4, $1}' | head
done

Let's try to get further down in the human mtDNA tree!

kallisto index -i hominin_mtdna.noest.fa.k21.idx -k21 $refdir/../hominin_mtdna.noest.fa

kallisto quant -o hominin_mtdna.noest.kal --single -l50 -s10 -i hominin_mtdna.noest.fa.k21.idx Hominidae.reads.fq.gz

Further authentication steps

Now that we have produced/found out likely ancient dataset for taxa showing damage with mean read length > 35 and also verified a few animal taxa in the profiles we could go back and use the Rscripts for the read length plotting we used yesterday and replace the overall super kingdoms with taxa that would be interesting and or necessary to have further verifications for.

OBS needs reporting of the finding above and extraction of the reads for depth of coverage and phylo placement.

conda activate env1

Nuclear and mito genomes can be downloaded from any source here we use NCBI.

Now lets check the accession number/ID in the header of the fasta

head -1 MF770243.1.fa

And then check that the accession to taxid matches in the ncbi taxonomy

zgrep MF770243 ../../../data/shared/taxonomy/acc2taxid.map.gz

Now the third column is the taxid, let's double check on ncbi what species this taxid belongs to NCBI taxonomy id. Is this correct? If so, then let's map the reads up against it, but first we build a new small database to map against it.

index the genome

bowtie2-build MF770243.1.fa MF770243.1.fa

map reads againt it

for file in *vs.fq.gz
do
bowtie2 -U ../PRI-TJPGK-CATN-224-226.fq.gz.vs.fq.gz -x NC_001941.1.fa --no-unal --threads 5 | samtools view -bS - > PRI-TJPGK-CATN-224-226.fq.gz.vs.fq.gz.ovis.bam 
done &> ovis_map.log

Lets check depth of each position

samtools depth PRI-TJPGK-CATN-224-226.fq.gz.vs.fq.gz.ovis.sort.bam

we can now cut out the coverage per position
