# mutacc
![Build Status - Docker](https://github.com/Clinical-Genomics/mutacc/actions/workflows/docker_build_n_publish.yml/badge.svg)
[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/Clinical-Genomics/mutacc/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/Clinical-Genomics/mutacc?branch=master)
[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/mutacc.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/mutacc)

## The mutation accumulation database

**mutacc** is a tool that makes it possible to create synthetic datasets to be used
for quality control or benchmarking of bioinformatic tools and pipelines intended
for variant calling of clinical variants. Using raw reads that supports a known
variant from a real NGS data, *mutacc* stores the relevant reads from each case into
a database. This database can then be queried to create synthetic datasets that can
be used as positive controls bioinformatics pipelines.

## Running the app using Docker (No installation of any software or database required)
An example containing a demo setup for the app is included in the docker-compose file. Note that this file is not intended for use in production and is only provided to illustrate how an image containing the application could be connected to a MongoDB instance and perform commands provided when running it as a container. A Docker image file for Mutacc can be pulled from [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/clinicalgenomics/mutacc), or can be built from the Dockerfile provided in the GitHub repository folder. Start the docker-compose demo using this command:

```console
docker-compose up -d
```

What the docker-compose command does:

- Starts the database
- extracts the reads from a demo case (demo case resources are located under /mutacc/resources)
- Saves them to database
- Exports them from the database to a local file

When the above command is executed, it creates the following 4 directories: `reads`, `imports`, `queries` and `variants` in the working directory. The directory names `variants` contains the vcf with the variants of interest for this demo case.

After running the test, don't forget to run docker-compose to remove containers, networks, volumes and images created by docker-compose.

## Installation
### Conda
For installation of mutacc and the external prerequisites, this is made easy by
creating conda environment

```consol
conda create -n python=3.8 pip numpy cython
```

activate environment

```consol
source activate
```
### External Prerequisites
mutacc takes use of two external packages, [seqkit](https://github.com/shenwei356/seqkit)>=v0.9 ,
and [picard](https://github.com/broadinstitute/picard)>=v2.18. These can be
installed within a conda environment by

```console
conda install -c bioconda picard
conda install -c bioconda seqkit
```

### Install mutacc
Within the conda environment, do

```console
pip install mutacc
```

To install from PyPI, or clone this repo and install

```console
pip install git+https://github.com/Clinical-Genomics/mutacc
```

## Usage

### Configuration File

Some options are best passed to mutacc through a configuration file. below is an
example of a config file, using the YAML format.

```yaml
#EXAMPLE OF A CONFIGURATION FILE
host: #Defaults to 'localhost'
port: #Defaults to 27017
database: #Defaults to 'mutacc'
username:
password:
root_dir:
```

The 'root_dir' entry specifies an existing directory in the file system, where
all files generated by mutacc will be stored in corresponding subdirectories.
E.g. all generated fastq files will be stored in /.../root_dir/reads/

### Populate the mutacc database

To export data sets from the mutacc DB, the database must first be populated. To
extract the raw reads supporting a known variant, mutacc takes use some
relevant files generated from a NGS experiment up to the variant calling itself.
That is the bam file, and vcf file containing only the variants of interest.

This information is specified as a 'case', represented in yaml format

```yaml
#EXAMPLE OF A CASE

#THE CASE FIELD CONTAINS METADATA OF THE CASE ITSELF
case:
case_id: 'case123' #REQUIRED CASE_ID

#LIST OF THE SAMPLES INVOLVED IN THE EXPERIMENT (MAY BE ONE, OR SEVERAL, E.G.
#A TRIO)
samples:
- sample_id: 'sample1' #REQUIRED
analysis_type: 'wgs' #REQUIRED
sex: 'male' #REQUIRED
mother: 'sample2' #REQUIRED (CAN BE 0 if no mother)
father: 'sample3' #REQUIRED (CAN BE 0 if no father)
bam_file: /path/to/sorted_bam #REQUIRED
phenotype: 'affected'

- sample_id: 'sample2'
analysis_type: 'wgs'
sex: 'female'
mother: '0' #0 if no parent
father: '0'
bam_file: /path/to/sorted_bam
phenotype: 'unaffected'

- sample_id: 'sample2'
analysis_type: 'wgs'
sex: 'male'
mother: '0'
father: '0'
bam_file: /path/to/sorted_bam
phenotype: 'affected'

#PATH TO VCF FILE CONTAINING VARIANTS OF INTEREST FROM CASE
variants: /path/to/vcf
```

This will find the reads from the bam files specified for each sample. If it
is desired that the reads are found from the fastq files instead, this can be
done by specifying the fastq-files as such

```yaml
- sample_id: 'sample1'
analysis_type: 'wgs'
sex: 'male'
mother: 'sample2'
father: 'sample3'
bam_file: /path/to/sorted_bam
fastq_files:
- /path/to/fastq1
- /path/to/fastq2
phenotype: 'affected'
```
To extract the reads from the case

```console
mutacc --config-file extract --padding 600 --case
```
the --padding option takes the number of basepairs that the desired region is
padded with.

This will create a file .json stored in the directory specified in the
/.../root_dir/imports directory.

To import the case into the database

```console
mutacc db import /.../root_dir/imports/.json
```

The db command is called each time mutacc needs to do any operation against the
database.

This will try to establish a connection to an instance of mongodb, by default
running on 'localhost' on port 27017. If this is not wanted, it can be specified
with the --host and --port options.

```console
mutacc db -h -p import .json
```

If authentication is required, this can be specified with the --username and
--password options.

or in a configuration file e.g.
```yaml
host:
port:
username:
password:
```

```console
mutacc --config-file db import .json
```

### Export datasets from the database
The datasets are exported one sample at the time. To export a synthetic
dataset, the export command is used together with options.
```
Usage: mutacc db export [OPTIONS]

exports dataset from DB

Options:
-c, --case-mongo TEXT mongodb query language json-string to query
for cases in database
-v, --variant-mongo TEXT mongodb query language json-string to query
for variants in database
-t, --variant-type TEXT Type of variant
-a, --analysis [wes|wgs] Type of analysis
--all-variants Export all variants in database
-m, --member [father|mother|child|affected]
Type of sample
-s, --sex [male|female] Sex of sample
--vcf-dir PATH Directory where vcf is created. Defaults to
mutacc-root/variants
-p, --proband Variants from all affected samples,
regardless of pedigree
-n, --sample-name TEXT Name of sample
-j, --json-out Print results to stdout as json-string
--help Show this message and exit.
```

example:

```console
mutacc --config-file db export -m affected --all-variants
```
will find all the cases from the mutacc DB, and store this
information in a file /.../root_dir/queries/sample_name_query.mutacc.

to export an entire trio, this can be done by

```console
mutacc --config-file db export -m child --all-variants -p -n child
mutacc --config-file db export -m father --all-variants -n father
mutacc --config-file db export -m mother --all-variants -n mother
```
This will create three files child_query_mutacc.json, father_query_mutacc.json, and
mother_query_mutacc.json.

the export subcommand will also generate a truth set vcf-file for each exported
samples, containing all queried variants.

To make a dataset (fastq-files) from a query file the synthesize command is used
with the following options

-b/--background-bam \
Path to the bam file for sample to be used as background

-f/--background-fastq \
Path to fastq file for sample to be used as background

-f2/--background-fastq2 \
Path to second fastq file (if paired end experiment)

-q/--query \
Path to the query json-files created with the export command

--dataset-dir \
Directory where fastq files will be stored. defaults to
/.../root_dir/datasets

example, using the query files created above

```console
mutacc --config-file synthesize -b -f -f2 -q child_query_mutacc.json
mutacc --config-file synthesize -b -f -f2 -q father_query_mutacc.json
mutacc --config-file synthesize -b -f -f2 -q mother_query_mutacc.json
```

The created fastq-files will be stored in the directory /.../root_dir/datasets/
or in directory specified by ---dataset-dir

### Remove case from database

To remove a case from the mutacc DB, and all the generated bam, and fastq files
generated from that case from disk, the remove command is used

```console
mutacc --config-file db remove
```
