# genome_updater [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/pirovc/genome_updater.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/pirovc/genome_updater) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/pirovc/genome_updater/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/pirovc/genome_updater) [![Anaconda-Server Badge](https://anaconda.org/bioconda/genome_updater/badges/downloads.svg)](https://anaconda.org/bioconda/genome_updater)

Bash script to download ***and update*** snapshots of the NCBI genomes repository (refseq/genbank) [1] with filters, detailed log, reports, file integrity check (MD5) and parallel [2] download support.

## Quick usage guide

### Get genome_updater

wget --quiet --show-progress https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pirovc/genome_updater/master/genome_updater.sh
chmod +x genome_updater.sh

### Download

Download Archaeal complete genome sequences from the refseq repository (`-t` number parallel downloads):

./genome_updater.sh -o "arc_refseq_cg" -d "refseq" -g "archaea" -l "complete genome" -f "genomic.fna.gz" -t 12

### Update

Some days later, update the repository:

./genome_updater.sh -o "arc_refseq_cg"

- Add `-k` to perform a dry-run, showing how many files will be downloaded/updated without any changes.

- Newly added sequences will be downloaded and a new version (`-b`, timestamp by default) will be created. Removed or old sequences will be kept but not carried to the new version.

- Arguments can be added or changed in the update. For example `./genome_updater.sh -o "arc_refseq_cg" -t 2` to use a different number of threads or `./genome_updater.sh -o "arc_refseq_cg" -l ""` to remove the "complete genome" filter.

- `history.tsv` will be created in the output folder (`-o`), tracking versions and arguments used (obs: boolean flags/arguments are not tracked - e.g. `-m`).

## Details

genome_updater downloads and keeps several snapshots of a certain sub-set of the genomes repository, without redundancy and with incremental track of changes.

- it runs on a working directory (defined with `-o`) and creates a snapshot (optionally named with `-b`, timestamp by default) of refseq and/or genbank (`-d`) genome repositories based on selected organism groups (`-g`) and/or taxonomic ids (`-T`) with the desired files type(s) (`-f`)
- files are downloaded to a single folder by default ("{prefix}files/") but can be also saved in the NCBI ftp file structure (`-N`)
- filters can be applied to refine the selection: refseq category (`-c`), assembly level (`-l`), dates (`-D`/`-E`), custom filters (`-F`), [top assemblies](#Top-assemblies) (`-A`)
- `-M gtdb` enables GTDB [3] compability. Only assemblies from the latest GTDB release will be kept and taxonomic filters will work based on GTDB nodes (e.g. `-T "c__Hydrothermarchaeia"` or `-A genus:3`)
- the repository can be updated or changed with incremental changes. outdated files are kept in their respective version and repeated files linked to the new version. genome_updater keepts track of all changes and just downloads what is necessary

## Installation

With conda:

conda install -c bioconda genome_updater

or direct file download:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pirovc/genome_updater/master/genome_updater.sh
chmod +x genome_updater.sh

- genome_updater is portable and depends on the GNU Core Utilities + few additional tools (`awk` `bc` `find` `join` `md5sum` `parallel` `sed` `tar` `wget`/`curl`) which are commonly available and installed in most distributions. If you are not sure if you have them all, just run `genome_updater.sh` and it will tell you if something is missing (otherwise the it will show the help page).

To test if all genome_updater functions are running properly on your system:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/pirovc/genome_updater.git
cd genome_updater
tests/test.sh

## Examples

### Archaea, Bacteria, Fungi and Viral complete genome sequences from refseq

# Download (-m to check integrity of downloaded files)
./genome_updater.sh -d "refseq" -g "archaea,bacteria,fungi,viral" -f "genomic.fna.gz" -o "arc_bac_fun_vir_refseq_cg" -t 12 -m

### Recovering fasta files from a previously obtained assembly_summary.txt

./genome_updater.sh -e /my/path/assembly_summary.txt -f "genomic.fna.gz" -o "recovered_sequences"

## Advanced examples

### Downloading genomic sequences (.fna files) for the Complete Genome sequences from RefSeq for Bacteria and Archaea and keep them updated

# Dry-run to check files available
./genome_updater.sh -d "refseq" -g "archaea,bacteria" -l "complete genome" -f "genomic.fna.gz" -k

# Download (-o output folder, -t threads, -m checking md5, -u extended assembly accession report)
./genome_updater.sh -d "refseq" -g "archaea,bacteria" -l "complete genome" -f "genomic.fna.gz" -o "arc_bac_refseq_cg" -t 12 -u -m

# Downloading additional .gbff files for the current snapshot (adding genomic.gbff.gz to -f , -i to just add files and not update)
./genome_updater.sh -f "genomic.fna.gz,genomic.gbff.gz" -o "arc_bac_refseq_cg" -i

# Some days later, just check for updates but do not update
./genome_updater.sh -o "arc_bac_refseq_cg" -k

# Perform update
./genome_updater.sh -o "arc_bac_refseq_cg" -u -m

### Branching base version for specific filters

# Download the complete bacterial refseq
./genome_updater.sh -d "refseq" -g "bacteria" -f "genomic.fna.gz" -o "bac_refseq" -t 12 -m -b "all"

# Branch the main files into two sub-versions (no new files will be downloaded or copied)
./genome_updater.sh -o "bac_refseq" -B "all" -b "complete" -l "complete genome"
./genome_updater.sh -o "bac_refseq" -B "all" -b "represen" -c "representative genome"

### Download Fungi RefSeq assembly information and generate sequence reports and URLs

./genome_updater.sh -d "refseq" -g "fungi" -f "assembly_report.txt" -o "fungi" -t 12 -rpu

### Use curl (default wget), change timeout and retries for download, increase retries

retries=10 timeout=600 ./genome_updater.sh -g "fungi" -o fungi -t 12 -f "genomic.fna.gz,assembly_report.txt" -L curl -R 6

## Reports

### assembly accessions

The parameter `-u` activates the output of a list of updated assembly accessions for the entries with all files (`-f`) successfully downloaded. The file `{timestamp}_assembly_accession.txt` has the following fields (tab separated):

Added [A] or Removed [R], assembly accession, url

Example:

A GCF_000146045.2 ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/all/GCF/000/146/045/GCF_000146045.2_R64
A GCF_000002515.2 ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/all/GCF/000/002/515/GCF_000002515.2_ASM251v1
R GCF_000091025.4 ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/all/GCF/000/091/025/GCF_000091025.4_ASM9102v4

### sequence accessions

The parameter `-r` activates the output of a list of updated sequence accessions for the entries with all files (`-f`) successfully downloaded. It is only available when `assembly_report.txt` is one of the file types. The file `{timestamp}_sequence_accession.txt` has the following fields (tab separated):

Added [A] or Removed [R], assembly accession, genbank accession, refseq accession, sequence length, taxonomic id

Example:

A GCA_000243255.1 CM001436.1 NZ_CM001436.1 3200946 937775
R GCA_000275865.1 CM001555.1 NZ_CM001555.1 2475100 28892

Obs: if genome_updater breaks or do not finish completely some files may be missing from the assembly and sequence accession reports

### URLs (and files)

The parameter `-p` activates the output of a list of failed and successfully downloaded urls to the files `{timestamp}_url_downloaded.txt` and `{timestamp}_url_failed.txt` (failed list will only be complete if command runs until the end, without errors or breaks).

To obtain a list of successfully downloaded files from this report (useful to get only new files after updating):

sed 's#.*/##' {timestamp}_url_list_downloaded.txt

or

find output_folder/version/files/ -type f

## Top assemblies

`-A` will selected the "best" assemblies for each taxonomic nodes (leaves or specific rank) according to 4 categories (A-D), in the following order of importance:

A) refseq Category:
1) reference genome
2) representative genome
3) na
B) Assembly level:
1) Complete Genome
2) Chromosome
3) Scaffold
4) Contig
C) Relation to type material:
1) assembly from type material
2) assembly from synonym type material
3) assembly from pathotype material
4) assembly designated as neotype
5) assembly designated as reftype
6) ICTV species exemplar
7) ICTV additional isolate
