fq2dna (FASTQ files to de novo assembly) is a command line tool written in Bash to ease the de novo assembly of archaea, bacteria or virus genomes from raw high-throughput sequencing (HTS) paired-end (PE) reads.
Every data pre- and post-processing step is managed by fq2dna (e.g. HTS read filtering and enhancing, well-tuned de novo assemblies, scaffold sequence accuracy assessment). The main purpose of fq2dna is to efficiently use different methods, programs and tools to quickly infer accurate genome assemblies (e.g. from 5 to 20 minutes to deal with a bacteria HTS sample using 12 threads). This mini-workflow can therefore be very useful to deal with large batches of whole-genome shotgun sequencing data.
fq2dna runs on UNIX, Linux and most OS X operating systems.

A. Clone this repository with the following command line:
git clone https://gitlab.pasteur.fr/GIPhy/fq2dna.git
B. Give the execute permission to the file
fq2dna.sh
:
chmod +x fq2dna.sh
C. Execute fq2dna with the following command line model:
./fq2dna.sh [options]
D. If at least one of the required program (see Dependencies) is not available on your
$PATH
variable (or if one compiled binary has a different
default name), fq2dna will exit with an error message. When
running fq2dna without option, a documentation should be
displayed; otherwise, the name of the missing program is displayed
before existing. In such a case, edit the file fq2dna.sh
and indicate the local path to the corresponding binary(ies) within the
code block REQUIREMENTS
(approximately lines 60-150). For
each required program, the table below reports the corresponding
variable assignment instruction to edit (if needed) within the code
block REQUIREMENTS

fq2dna is able to consider up to three paired-ends
libraries (PE; options -1
to -6
). Input files
should be in FASTQ format and can be compressed using gzip, bzip2 or DSRC
(Roguski and Deorowicz 2014).
In brief, fq2dna first performs initial basic HTS read
preprocessing (i.e. step I) using fqCleanER,
i.e. deduplication (D), trimming/clipping (T; as ruled by options
-a
, -q
, -l
and -p
)
and error correction (E). When specified (option -A
), a
contaminating HTS read removal step (C ) can also be performed.
Next, fq2dna creates two distinct datasets from the
preprocessed HTS reads: a first one (i.e. step N)
obtained using a digital normalization procedure (N; as
ruled by options -C
and -c
), and a second one
(i.e. step M) by merging the PE HTS reads with short
insert size (M) followed by a digital normalization
procedure. Each of these two HTS datasets is used to infer a de
novo genome assembly (dnaN and dnaM, respectively) using SPAdes
(Bankevich et al. 2012).
Among the two genome assemblies, the less
fragmented one is retained, and next polished (i.e. correcting putative
local assembly errors such as mismatches and short indels) using samtools on the aligned step
I HTS reads. Polished scaffolds are used together with
their generating (step N or M) HTS
reads to infer a genome coverage profile (e.g. Lindner et al. 2013).
Based on this coverage profile, sufficiently long and well-covered
scaffold sequences are finally selected.
Depending on the specified
strategy (option -s
), selected scaffold sequences are
classified as chromosome/plasmid/undetermined (i.e. CPU) using Platon
(Schwengers et al. 2020) and/or annotated using Prokka (Seemann
2014).
Output files are all defined by the same specified prefix
(mandatory option -b
) and written into a specified output
directory (mandatory option -o
). Each output file content
is determined by its file extension:
output file | file content |
---|---|
<prefix>.stepI.log | fqCleanER log file of the step I |
<prefix>.stepM.log | fqCleanER log file of the step M |
<prefix>.stepN.log | fqCleanER log file of the step N |
<prefix>.all.fasta | the less fragmented SPAdes assembly (FASTA format) |
<prefix>.cov.info.txt | coverage profile summary generated using SAM2MAP |
<prefix>.scf.fasta | selected and polished scaffold sequences (FASTA format) |
<prefix>.scf.info.txt | residue content of the selected scaffold sequences (tab-delimited) |
<prefix>.scf.amb.txt | ambiguously assembled bases (tab-delimited) |
<prefix>.agp.fasta | contigs derived from the selected and polished scaffold sequences (FASTA format) |
<prefix>.agp | scaffolding information associated to the contigs (AGP format) |
<prefix>.dna.info.txt | descriptive statistics of each FASTA file content (tab-delimited) |
<prefix>.isd.txt | descriptive statistics of the insert size distribution |
<prefix>.gbk | assembled genome annotation (GenBank flat file format) |
<prefix>.gbk.info.txt | annotation statistics generated by Prokka |
Temporary files are written into a dedicated directory created
into the $TMPDIR
directory (when defined, otherwise
tmp/
). When possible, it is highly recommended to set a
temp directory with large capacity (option -w
).
Default options lead to a de novo assembly inferred from
a subset of well-suited HTS read (digital normalization) corresponding
to 60x coverage depth (option -C
), which is a good tradeoff
to observe accurate results with fast running times. It is therefore
expected that (i) the genome coverage profile (output file
<prefix>._cov.info.txt_) is a unimodal distribution with
both mean and mode close to 60x, and (ii) most of the selected scaffold
sequences (<prefix>._scf.fasta_) are supported by 60x
coverage depth on average (covr values in FASTA headers).
Strong deviation from the specified coverage depth (option
-C
) can be indicative of a sequencing problem, e.g. low
coverage depth (small mode value), locally insufficient coverage depth
(very negative skewness), sample contamination (bimodal
distribution).
Of important note is that the genome coverage profile is used to fit a theoretical distribution using SAM2MAP (i.e. Negative Binomial or Generalized Poisson, depending on the variance). Such a theoretical distribution enables to determine a coverage depth cutoff, under which any observed coverage depth is considered as significantly low (p-value ≤ 0.00001). Every assembled base with coverage depth lower than the estimated coverage cutoff (specified in FASTA headers) is written in lowercase (into both files <prefix>._all.fasta_ and <prefix>._scf.fasta_) and should be considered with caution. If the selected scaffold sequences (i.e. with average coverage depth greater than the coverage cutoff; output file <prefix>._scf.fasta_) do not seems to represent the whole genome, try to consider the entire set of assembled scaffolds (output file <prefix>._all.fasta_).
An ambiguously assembled base is defined as a base from an assembled scaffold that is not well supported by its generating HTS reads (e.g. non-monoallelic position, low-covered position). Every ambiguously assembled base is listed in the tab-delimited output file <prefix>._scf.amb.txt_ (one per line) together with an estimate of the sequenced content corresponding to this assembled position (i.e. proportions of A, C, G, T and gaps, respectively, estimated from the alignment of the generating HTS reads).
For more details about the different assembly and scaffold sequence statistics (output files <prefix>._dna.info.txt_ and <prefix>._scf.info.txt_, respectively), see the documentation of contig_info.
For more details about the chromosome/plasmid/undetermined
classification of each scaffold sequence (i.e. column CPU in
<prefix>._scf.info.txt_ when using option
-s B
), see the documentation of Platon.
For more details about the annotation procedure when using
strategies A, B or V (option -s
; output files
<prefix>._gbk_ and
<prefix>._gbk.info.txt_), see the documentation of Prokka.
In order to illustrate the usefulness of fq2dna and to better describe its output files, the following use case example describes its usage for (re)assembling the draft genome of Listeria monocytogenes 2HF33 (Duru et al. 2020).
All output files are available in the directory example/ (the four sequence files were compressed using gzip), as well as the version of every used tool and program (see program.versions.txt).
Downloading input files
Paired-end sequencing of this genome was performed using Illumina Miseq, and the resulting pair of (compressed) FASTQ files (112 Mb and 128 Mb, respectively) can be downloaded using the following command lines:
wget ftp://ftp.sra.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/fastq/ERR403/006/ERR4032786/ERR4032786_1.fastq.gz
wget ftp://ftp.sra.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/fastq/ERR403/006/ERR4032786/ERR4032786_2.fastq.gz
As phiX genome was used as spike-in during Illumina sequencing (Duru et al. 2020), this putative contaminating sequence (5.4 kb) can be downloded using the following command line:
wget -O phiX.fasta "https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=nuccore&rettype=fasta&id=NC_001422.1"
Running fq2dna
Below is a typical command line to run fq2dna on PE FASTQ files to deal with such a bacteria HTS data:
./fq2dna.sh -1 ERR4032786_1.fastq.gz -2 ERR4032786_2.fastq.gz -a NEXTERA -A phiX.fasta \\
-s B -T "Listeria monocytogenes 2HF33" -o 2HF33 -b Lm.2HF33 -t 12 -w /tmp
Of note, option -a NEXTERA
was set to clip the Nextera
XT technical oligonucleotides used during library preparation (see Duru
et al. 2020), the putative contaminating sequence file
phiX.fasta was set using option -A
, and the
strategy ‘Bacteria’ was trivially set (option -s B
).
Different log outputs can be observed depending on the OS and/or installed program versions (see Dependencies). Below is the one observed when using fq2dna together with program and tool versions listed into example/program.versions.txt:

This log output shows that the complete analysis was performed on 12 threads in less than 15 minutes (HTS read processing in < 5 minutes, de novo assemblies in ~2 minutes, and scaffold sequence post-processing in < 3 minutes). One can also observe that the selected de novo assembly was dnaN (i.e. greater NG50 and auGN metrics), therefore showing that the PE HTS read merging step (M) does not always enable to obtain better genome assemblies.
Output files
The genome coverage profile summary file
(Lm.2HF33.cov.info.txt; see excerpt below) shows an average
coverage depth of ~61x, corresponding to a symmetrical coverage depth
distribution with mode of 67×, close to the expected value (default
option -C 61
). The bimodality coefficient is 0.208, far
below the bimodality cutoff (i.e. 0.55; see e.g. Ellison 1987, Pfister
et al. 2013), suggesting that no contamination occurred in the HTS reads
selected for assembly.

These different statistics therefore assess that the assembled sequences are accurate and well-supported by sufficient data. Finally, a generalized Poisson (GP) distribution (that fits the observed genome coverage profile) enables to determine a minimum coverage cutoff (i.e. 43×) under which any assembled base is considered as putatively not trustworthy (lowercase characters in the scaffold sequence file Lm.2HF33.scf.fasta).
The tab-delimited file Lm.2HF33.dna.info.txt shows that the de novo assembly procedure led to quite few scaffold and contig sequences:

Of note, 10 small and/or insufficiently covered sequences (cutoff = 43×; see Lm.2HF33.cov.info.txt) were not selected for the final scaffold sequence set (i.e. Lm.2HF33.scf.fasta), therefore leading to a final assembled genome of total size 3,096,528 bps (Nres), represented in 22 contigs (Nseq), with 37.79% GC-content.
The tab-delimited file Lm.2HF33.scf.info.txt (displayed below) shows different residue statistics for each final scaffold sequence. Note that each FASTA header (info files Lm.2HF33.all.fasta and Lm.2HF33.scf.fasta) contains the k-mer coverage depth returned by SPAdes (covk), the base coverage depth estimated by fq2dna (covr), and the (low) coverage cutoff derived from the coverage profile analysis (cutoff).

The last column CPU also shows the classification of each scaffold
sequence into the category ‘Chromosome’, ‘Plasmid’ or ‘Undetermined’
(i.e. C, P, U, respectively). Such a classification shows that the 12th
scaffold sequence (i.e. NODE_12
) is likely a plasmid
(subsequent BLAST searches indeed show that it is almost identical to pLM6179).
