Deploying VIGOR3
----------------
1. un-tar VIGOR3.tgz. This creates a directory named VIGOR3 containing the VIGOR
software and reference databases.
$ tar xzvf VIGOR3.tgz -C /mypath
2. define a scratch space for vigor
$ # path used here is an example, any directory will do
$ mkdir /mypath/VIGOR3/tempspace
$ chmod 777 /mypath/VIGOR3/tempspace
3. define a symbolic link for the scratch space
$ # symbolic link requires FULL path
$ cd /mypath/VIGOR3
$ chmod 777 prod3
$ ln -s /mypath/VIGOR3/tempspace prod3/vigorscratch
4. define symbolic links for external programs
$ cd /mypath/VIGOR3
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl prod3/perl
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/blastall prod3/blastall
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/bl2seq prod3/bl2seq
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/formatdb prod3/formatdb
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/fastacmd prod3/fastacmd
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/clustalw prod3/clustalw2
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/muscle prod3/muscle
$ chmod 555 prod3
notes:
1. muscle is only used by the programs in "dbutils", it is not required
by VIGOR.
2. the dbutils directory under prod3 contains utility programs used to support
the creation of reference databases for VIGOR
3. the adhoc directory under prod3 contains a handful of adhoc programs
created during the project, these programs use many of VIGOR's library
functions but are not part of VIGOR
4. three additional pipeline programs are contained in the prod3 directory
a. rna_finder - used by the JCVI pipeline to annotate non-coding genes
b. tblUTR - used by the JCVI pipeline to extend gene boundsries to
include the UTRs
c. hmm3Evidence - used by the JCVI pipeline to suppply HMM3 evidence
supporting the functional annotation of the gene
Running VIGOR3
--------------
Example:
$ /mypath/prod3/VIGOR3.pl -d yfv -i samples/westnile.fasta -o test/westnile
(sample fasta and output files can be found in the samples directory)
Usage:
-- allow VIGOR to choose the reference database
$./VIGOR3.pl -i inputfasta -o outputprefix
-- tell VIGOR which reference database to use
$./VIGOR3.pl -d refdb -i inputfasta -o outputprefix
Command Line Options
-a auto-select the reference database, equivalent to "-d any", default behavior unless
overridden by -d or -G, (-A is a synonym for this option)
-d <ref db>, specify the reference database to be used, (-D is a synonym for this option)
-e <evalue>, override the default evalue used to identify potential genes, the default
is usually 1E-5, but varies by reference database
-c <pct ref> minimum coverage of reference product (0-100) required to report a gene, by
default coverage is ignored
-C complete (linear) genome (do not treat edges as gaps)
-0 (zero) complete circular genome (allows gene to span origin)
-f <0, 1, or 2>, frameshift sensitivity, 0=ignore frameshifts, 1=normal (default), 2=sensitive
-G <genbank file>, use a genbank file as the reference database, caution: VIGOR genbank
parsing is fairly rudimentary and many genbank files are unparseable. Partial genes will
be ignored. Note: genbank files do not record enough information to handle RNA editing
-i <input fasta>, path to fasta file of genomic sequences to be annotated, (-I is a synonym
for this option)
-l do NOT use locus_tags in TBL file output (incompatible with -L)
-L USE locus_tags in TBL file output (incompatible with -l)
-o <output prefix>, prefix for outputfile files, e.g. if the ouput prefix is /mydir/anno
VIGOR will create output files /mydir/anno.tbl, /mydir/anno.stats, etc., (-O is a synonym
for this option)
-P <parameter=value~~...~~paramaeter=value>, override default values of VIGOR parameters
-j turn off JCVI rules, JCVI rules treat gaps and ambiguity codes conservatively, use
this option to relax these constraints and produce a more speculative annotation
-m ignore reference match requirements (coverage/identity/similarity), sometimes useful
when running VIGOR to evaluate raw contigs and rough draft sequences
-s <gene size> minimum size (aa) of product required to report a gene, by default size is
ignored
Outputs:
outputprefix.rpt - summary of program results
outputprefix.stats - run statistics (per genome sequence) in tab-delimited format
outputprefix.cds - fasta file of predicted CDSs
outputprefix.pep - fasta file of predicted proteins
outputprefix.tbl - predicted features in GenBank tbl format
outputprefix.aln - alignment of predicted protein to reference, and reference protein to genome
outputprefix.fs - subset of aln report for those genes with potential sequencing issues
outputprefix.at - potential sequencing issues in tab-delimited format
