Preprocessing Script Overview

Marcus Fedarko edited this page Jan 13, 2018 · 13 revisions

MetagenomeScope's "preprocessing script" is a program that takes as input an assembly graph file and produces a SQLite database file that can be visualized in MetagenomeScope's viewer interface.

The preprocessing script is located in the graph_collator/ directory of MetagenomeScope. The script can be run with the command python graph_collator/collate.py.

  • System Requirements: a list of the various libraries needed to run the preprocessing script
  • Installation: a guide to installing the "SPQR version" of the script on your system
    • The "non-SPQR version" of the script is written solely in Python, so that version of the script is relatively portable.
    • However, the "SPQR version" of the preprocessing script uses OGDF (a C++ library) and a C++ script to interface with it, in order to generate SPQR tree decompositions for MetagenomeScope's "decomposition mode." So there are a few extra steps to compiling the C++ script to work on your system, in order to install this version of the preprocessing script.
