galah process

Runs both analyse and cluster in sequence.

Determines the MIMAG quality score based on completeness, contamination, rRNA, and tRNA presence. Completeness and contamination are estimated using CheckM2 by default, unless CheckM1/2 quality reports are provided.

Cluster genomes into ANI-based groups for downstream analysis.

FILTERING PARAMETERS

--checkm2-quality-report PATH

CheckM version 2 quality_report.tsv (i.e. the quality_report.tsv in the output directory output of checkm2 predict ..) for defining genome quality, which is used both for filtering and to rank genomes during clustering.

--genome-info PATH

dRep style genome info table for defining quality. The information contained is used like --checkm2-quality-report.

--min-completeness FLOAT

Ignore genomes with less completeness than this percentage. [default: not set]

--max-contamination FLOAT

Ignore genomes with more contamination than this percentage. [default: not set]

--run-checkm2

Run CheckM2 to generate quality scoring used for clustering. Requires --checkm2-db-path or CHECKM2DB env variable to be set.

--checkm2-db-path DB_PATH

Path to CheckM2 database (required for running CheckM2) [default: from CHECKM2DB environment variable]

CLUSTERING PARAMETERS

--ani FLOAT

Overall ANI level to dereplicate at with the primary clusterer. [default: 95]

--min-aligned-fraction FLOAT

Min aligned fraction of two genomes for clustering. [default: 15]

Parks2020_reduced(default) A quality formula described in Parks et. al. 2020 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41587-020-0501-8 (Supplementary Table 19) but only including those scoring criteria that can be calculated from the sequence without homology searching: completeness-5*contamination-5*num_contigs/100-5*num_ambiguous_bases/100000

completeness-5contaminationcompleteness-5*contamination
dRepcompleteness-5*contamination+contamination*(strain_heterogeneity/100)+0.5*log10(N50)

--precluster-ani FLOAT

Require at least this precluster-derived ANI for preclustering and to avoid primary clustering on distant lineages within preclusters. [default: 90]

--precluster-method NAME

method of calculating rough ANI for dereplication. 'finch' for finch MinHash, 'skani' for Skani. [default: skani]

--cluster-method NAME

method of calculating ANI. 'fastani' for FastANI, 'skani' for Skani. [default: skani]

--cluster-contigs

Cluster contigs within a fasta file instead of genomes. When used, either --small-contigs or --large-contigs must be specified.

--small-contigs

Use small-genomes settings in skani when clustering contigs. Recommended for contigs < 20kb. Mutually exclusive with --large-contigs.

--large-contigs

Do not use small-genomes settings in skani when clustering contigs. Recommended for contigs >= 20kb. Mutually exclusive with --small-contigs.

--low-memory

Reduce memory use by sketching to file and searching it instead.

--reference-genomes PATH ...

Reference genomes to cluster against. These should be pre-clustered at the chosen %ANI. If quality is provided for representative selection, values for these genomes must also be provided. Genomes within the precluster ANI cutoff of each reference will be placed in the same precluster. Mutually exclusive with --reference-genomes-list.

--reference-genomes-list PATH
