# NanoPreP: a fully-equipped, fast, and memory-efficient pre-processor for ONT transcriptomic data

## Requirements
* Python (>= 3.7)  
* edlib (>=1.3.8)


## Getting started
**Option 1:** use git clone and run NanoPreP as a python module without installation
```
git clone https://github.com/Woodformation1136/NanoPreP.git
cd NanoPreP
python -m NanoPreP --help
```
**Option 2:** use pip install
```
pip install nanoprep-ffm
nanoprep --help
```

## General usage

NanoPreP optimizes adapter/primer identification parameters for each input file. During the optimization process, NanoPreP search for the best combination of (1) the adapter/primer substring used for alignment, (2) sequence similarity cutoff, and (3) aligned location cutoff that achieves the highest $F_{\beta}$ score in distinguishing real adapter/primer alignments and random alignments. 

The $\beta$ value in the formula of $F_{\beta}$ score greatly affect NanoPreP's behavior. The recommended range of $\beta$ is from 0.1 to 0.3, where smaller beta value lowers the chance of random alignments.


The general usage of NanoPreP to get ***high-quality, non-chimeric, full-length, strand-reoriented, adapter/primer-removed, polyA-removed*** reads:
```
nanoprep \
  --beta 0.1 \
  --p5_sense 5_PRIMER_SEQUENCE \
  --p3_sense A{100}3_PRIMER_SEQUENCE \
  --output_full_length output.fq \
  --report report.json \
  input.fq
```
- `--p5_sense 5_PRIMER_SEQUENCE` ← 5' primer sequence in sense strand direction
- `--p3_sense A{100}3_PRIMER_SEQUENCE` ← polyA + 3' primer sequence in sense strand direction (see section [How to specify adapter/primer and polyA/T sequences](#HOWTO))
- `--output_full_length output.fq` ← write full-length reads to `output.fq`  
- `--report report.json` ← write details of the run to `report.json`  
- `input.fq` ← raw sequences


<!-- TODO: why annotate reads? re-usable, time-saving, transparency, flexibility -->
After running this command, two output files `output.fq` and `report.json` will be written to your working directory.  
The `report.json` records start/stop times, the parameters used, and the detail information of the input FASTQ file. 
The `output.fq` contains full-length reads processed by NanoPreP. For each processed read, NanoPreP appends the information of the read to the ID line (the line started with @): 
```
@read_1 strand=0.91 full_length=1 fusion=0 ploc5=0 ploc3=0 poly5=0 poly3=-20
AGAGGCTGGCGGGAACGGGC......TTTCAAAGCCAGGCGGATTC
+
+,),+'$)'%671*%('&$%......((&'(*($%$&%&$-((84*
```
As shown in the example above, several flags are used for the describe a read: 
|flag|regex|default|explanation|
|:-|-|-|:-|
|`strand`|-?\d+\.\d*|0|0: unknown; > 0: sense; < 0: antisense|
|`full_length`|[0\|1]|0|0: non-full-length; 1: full-length|
|`fusion`|[0\|1]|0|0: non-chimeric/-fusion; 1: chimeric/fusion|
|`ploc5`|-?\d+|-1|-1: unknown; 0: removed; > 0: 5' adapter/primer location|
|`ploc3`|-?\d+|-1|-1: unknown; 0: removed; > 0: 3' adapter/primer location|
|`poly5`|-?\d+|-1|0: unknown; > 0: 5' polymer length; < 0: trimmed 5' polymer length|
|`poly3`|-?\d+|-1|0: unknown; > 0: 3' polymer length; < 0: trimmed 3' polymer length|

According to the flags, the example "read1" is a sense strand (`strand=0.91`), full-length (`full_length=1`), non-chimeric (`fusion=0`),  adapter/primer removed (`ploc5=0 ploc3=0`), and polyA removed (`poly3=-20`) read.


## How to specify adapter/primer and polyA/T sequences <a id="HOWTO"></a>
Users need to provide the **adapter/primer** (and **polyA/T**) sequences to be searched for using options `--p5_sense` and `--p3_sense`. 

For example, the following command means that the 5' and 3' adatper/primer sequences on the sense strand are 'CATTC' and 'GACTA', respectively.
```
--p5_sense CATTC --p3_sense GACTA
```
If users wish to detect polyA/T tails, a pattern `N{M}` can be used to specify the location and length of polyA/T tails. The command below tells NanoPreP that there are poly`"A"` tails of a maximum length of `"50"` bases next to the 3' adapters/primers.
```
--p5_sense CATTC --p3_sense A{50}GACTA
```
