HiFiAdapterFilt

Convert .bam to .fastq and remove reads with remnant PacBio adapter sequences

Dependencies:

• BamTools
• BLAST+

Optional:

• NCBI FCS Adaptor
• pigz

Add script and database to your path using:

export PATH=$PATH:[PATH TO HiFiAdapterFilt]
export PATH=$PATH:[PATH TO HiFiAdapterFilt]/DB

Usage

bash hifiadapterfilt.sh [ -p file Prefix ] [ -l minimum Length of adapter match to remove. Default=44 ] [ -m minimum percent Match of adapter to remove. Default=97 ] [ -t Number of threads for blastn. Default=8 ] [ -o outdirectory prefix Default=. ]

All flags are optional.

If no -p argument is provided, the script will run on all sequence files (.bam, .fastq, .fastq.gz, .fq, .fq.gz) in the working directory.

If using FCS adaptor to detect adapter contaminated reads use the hifiadapterfiltFCS.sh script

bash hifiadapterfiltFCS.sh -f <FCS adaptor output file> -r <HiFi reads file> [-t Number of threads for pigz. Defualt=8] [-o outdirectory prefix Default=.]

Outputs

• {prefix}.contaminant.blastout (Output of BLAST search)
• {prefix}.blocklist (Headers of PB adapter contaminated reads to be removed)
• {prefix}.filt.fastq.gz (Fastq reads free of PB adapter sequence ready for assembly)
• {prefix}.stats (File with simple math on number of reads removed, etc)
