使用fastp进行数据质控

    fastp是一款较新的数据质控软件,接触这个软件也是由于目前市场的软件各有功能但是功能都不是很全,譬如最近接触到一个RNAseq数据,质量较差,需要去除接头而且含N较多,序列起始端的数据较差需要去除几个bp,本来是打算使用trimmomatic去除接头和起始几个bp+cutadapt去除含N多的序列,但觉得稍微复杂。下面我们看看fastp能做什么。

    fastp的特性:

    • 对数据自动进行全方位质控,生成人性化的报告
    • 过滤功能(低质量,太短,太多N……);
    • 对每一个序列的头部或尾部,计算滑动窗内的质量均值,并将均值较低的子序列进行切除(类似Trimmomatic的做法,但是快非常多);
    • 全局剪裁 (在头/尾部,不影响去重),对于Illumina下机数据往往最后一到两个cycle需要这样处理;
    • 去除接头污染。厉害的是,你不用输入接头序列,因为算法会自动识别接头序列并进行剪裁;
    • 对于双端测序(PE)的数据,软件会自动查找每一对read的重叠区域,并对该重叠区域中不匹配的碱基对进行校正;
    • 去除尾部的polyG。对于Illumina NextSeq/NovaSeq的测序数据,因为是两色法发光,polyG是常有的事,所以该特性对该两类测序平台默认打开;
    • 对于PE数据中的overlap区间中不一致的碱基对,依据质量值进行校正;
    • 可以对带分子标签(UMI)的数据进行预处理,不管UMI在插入片段还是在index上,都可以轻松处理;
      -可以将输出进行分拆,而且支持两种模式,分别是指定分拆的个数,或者分拆后每个文件的行数;

    以上功能大多都不需要输入太多的参数,一些功能默认已经开启,但是可以用参数关闭。fastp完美支持gzip的输入和输出,同时支持SE和PE数据,而且不但支持像Illumina平台的short read数据,也在一定程度上支持了PacBio/Nanopore的long reads数据。

    fastp软件会生成HTML格式的报告,而且该报告中没有任何一张静态图片,所有的图表都是使用JavaScript动态绘制,非常具有交互性。想要看一下样板报告的,可以去以下链接:http://opengene.org/fastp/fastp.html

    而且软件的开发者还充分考虑到了各种自动化分析的需求,不但生成了人可读的HTML报告,还生成了程序可读性非常强的JSON结果,该JSON报告中的数据包含了HTML报告100%的信息,而且该JSON文件的格式还是特殊定制的,不但程序读得爽,你用任何一款文本编辑器打开,一眼过去也会看得明明白白。想要看一下JSON结果长什么样的,可以去以下链接:http://opengene.org/fastp/fastp.json

    虽然参数看起来比较多,但常用的主要包括以下几个部分:

    • 输入输出文件设置
    • 接头处理
    • 全局裁剪(即直接剪掉起始和末端低质量碱基)
    • 滑窗质量剪裁 (与trimmomatic相似)
    • 过滤过短序列
    • 校正碱基(用于双端测序)
    • 质量过滤
    1、接头处理

    fastp默认启用了接头处理,但是可以使用-A命令来关掉。fastp可以自动化地查找接头序列并进行剪裁,也就是说你可以不输入任何的接头序列,fastp全自动搞定了!对于SE数据,你还是可以-a参数来输入你的接头,而对于PE数据则完全没有必要,fastp基于PE数据的overlap分析可以更准确地查找接头,去得更干净,而且对于一些接头本身就有碱基不匹配情况处理得更好。fastp对于接头去除会有一个汇总的报告。

    2、全局裁剪

    fastp可以对所有read在头部和尾部进行统一剪裁,该功能在去除一些测序质量不好的cycle比较有用,比如151*2的PE测序中,最后一个cycle通常质量是非常低的,需要剪裁掉。使用-f和-t分别指定read1的头部和尾部的剪裁,使用-F和-T分别指定read2的头部和尾部的剪裁。

    3、滑窗质量剪裁

    很多时候,一个read的低质量序列都是集中在read的末端,也有少部分是在read的开头。fastp支持像Trimmomatic那样对滑动窗口中的碱基计算平均质量值,然后将不符合的滑窗直接剪裁掉。使用-5参数开启在5’端,也就是read的开头的剪裁,使用-3参数开启在3’端,也就是read的末尾的剪裁。使用-W参数指定滑动窗大小,默认是4,使用-M参数指定要求的平均质量值,默认是20,也就是Q20。

    4、过滤过短序列

    默认开启多序列过滤,默认值为15,使用-L(--disable_length_filtering)禁止此默认选项。或使用-l(--length_required)自定义最短序列。

    5、校正碱基(用于双端测序)

    fastp支持对PE数据的每一对read进行分析,查找它们的overlap区间,然后对于overlap区间中不一致的碱基,如果发现其中一个质量非常高,而另一个非常低,则可以将非常低质量的碱基改为相应的非常高质量值的碱基值。此选项默认关闭,可使用-c(--correction)开启。

    6、质量过滤

    fastp可以对低质量序列,较多N的序列,该功能默认是启用的,但可以使用-Q参数关闭。使用-q参数来指定合格的phred质量值,比如-q 15表示质量值大于等于Q15的即为合格,然后使用-u参数来指定最多可以有多少百分比的质量不合格碱基。比如-q 15 -u 40表示一个read最多只能有40%的碱基的质量值低于Q15,否则会被扔掉。使用-n可以限定一个read中最多能有多少个N。

    例子

    最后,附一个简单的例子:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    for i in 74 75 76 82 83 84 85 86 87 88; do
        {
        fastp -i ~/RNAseq/cleandata/SRR17343${i}_1.fastq.gz -o SRR17343${i}_1.fastq.gz \
            -I ~/RNAseq/cleandata/SRR17343${i}_2.fastq.gz -O SRR17343${i}_2.fastq.gz \
            -Q --thread=5 --length_required=50 --n_base_limit=6 --compression=6
        }&
    done
    wait
    

    虽然软件作者称其速度很快,但就我的测试来看好像并没有那么快,可能与实验室服务器还在跑别的程序有关。其次就是他的质控报告,对于多个质控结果,如果能够与multiqc一样出一份汇总报告就更好了。
