planemo upload for repository https://github.com/bernt-matthias/mb-galaxy-tools/tree/topic/dada2/tools/dada2 commit d63c84012410608b3b5d23e130f0beff475ce1f8-dirty

TODO
====



If we make a monolithic tool: 

* implement sanity checks between important compute intensive steps (user definable criteria, abort if violated)

If we keep separate tools: 

- make Rdata data types specific (like xmcs https://github.com/workflow4metabolomics/xcms/tree/dev/datatypes)
* alternatively the data set types could be derived from tabular and the Rdata could be attached via
  `.extra_files_path` this way the user could have some intermediate output that he could look at.


In both cases: 

* allow input of single end data, single pair, single pair in separate data sets, ...
* add mergePairsByID functionality to mergePairs tool


Datatypes:
==========

**derep-class**: list w 3 members
- uniques: Named integer vector. Named by the unique sequence, valued by abundance.
• quals: Numeric matrix of average quality scores by position for each unique. Uniques are
rows, positions are cols.
* map: Integer vector of length the number of reads, and value the index (in uniques) of the
unique to which that read was assigned.

**learnErrorsOutput**: A named list with three entries
- err_out: A numeric matrix with the learned error rates. 
- err_in: The initialization error rates (unimportant). 
- trans: A feature table of observed transitions for each type (eg. A->C) and quality score.

**dada-class**: A multi-item List with the following named values...
• denoised: Integer vector, named by sequence valued by abundance, of the denoised sequences.
• clustering: An informative data.frame containing information on each cluster.
• sequence: A character vector of each denoised sequence. Identical to names(denoised).
• quality: The average quality scores for each cluster (row) by position (col).
• map: Integer vector that maps the unique (index of derep.unique) to the denoised sequence (index of dada.denoised).
• birth_subs: A data.frame containing the substitutions at the birth of each new cluster.
• trans: The matrix of transitions by type (row), eg. A2A, A2C..., and quality score (col)
observed in the final output of the dada algorithm.
• err_in: The err matrix used for this invocation of dada.
• err_out: The err matrix estimated from the output of dada. NULL if err_function not provided.
• opts: A list of the dada_opts used for this invocation of dada.
• call: The function call used for this invocation of dada.

**uniques**: derep, dada, mergepairs(or data frame w sequenc and abundance columns)

**mergepairs**:

data.frame(s) has a row for each unique pairing of forward/reverse denoised sequences, and the following columns:
• abundance: Number of reads corresponding to this forward/reverse combination.
• sequence: The merged sequence.
• forward: The index of the forward denoised sequence.
• reverse: The index of the reverse denoised sequence.
• nmatch: Number of matches nts in the overlap region.
• nmismatch: Number of mismatches in the overlap region.
• nindel: Number of indels in the overlap region.
• prefer: The sequence used for the overlap region. 1=forward; 2=reverse.
• accept: TRUE if overlap between forward and reverse denoised sequences was at least minOverlap and had at most maxMismatch differences. FALSE otherwise.
• ...: Additional columns specified in propagateCol



Tools: 
======

• Quality filtering 
  
  filterAndTrim IO=(fastq -> fastq) 

• Dereplication 

  derepFastq (fastq -> derep-class object)

• Learn error rates 

  learnErrors + plotErrors
    - in: input list, or vector, of file names (or a list of derep-class objects WHY .. learning should be done on full data) 
    - out: named list w entries 
      - \$err\_out: A numeric matrix with the learned error rates. 
      - \$err\_in: The initialization error rates (unimportant). 
      - \$trans: A feature table of observed transitions for each type (eg. A->C) and quality score

• Sample Inference (dada)
   in: (list of) derep-class object
   out: (list of) dada-class object 

• Chimera Removal 

  removeBimeraDenovo

  in: A uniques-vector or any object that can be coerced into one with getUniques.
  out: A uniques vector, or an object of matching class if a data.frame or sequence table is provided

• Merging of Paired Reads 

  mergePairs
   in: 2x dada-class object(s), 2x derep-class object(s)
   out: A data.frame, or a list of data.frames.
     - The return data.frame(s) has a row for each unique pairing of forward/reverse denoised sequences,
     - cols
       - \$abundance: Number of reads corresponding to this forward/reverse combination.
       - \$sequence: The merged sequence.
       - \$forward: The index of the forward denoised sequence.
       - \$reverse: The index of the reverse denoised sequence.
       - \$nmatch: Number of matches nts in the overlap region.
       - \$nmismatch: Number of mismatches in the overlap region.
       - \$nindel: Number of indels in the overlap region.
       - \$prefer: The sequence used for the overlap region. 1=forward; 2=reverse.
       - \$accept: TRUE if overlap between forward and reverse denoised sequences was at least minOverlap and had at most maxMismatch differences. FALSE otherwise.
       - \$...: Additional columns specified in propagateCol.

• Taxonomic Classification (assignTaxonomy, assignSpecies)
