# locigenesis
|
|
|
|
locigenesis is a tool that generates a human T-cell receptor (TCR), runs
|
|
it through a sequence reader simulation tool and extracts CDR3.
|
|
|
|
The goal of this project is to generate both HVR sequences with and
|
|
without sequencing errors, in order to create datasets for a Machine
|
|
Learning algorithm.
|
|
|
|
## Technologies
|
|
|
|
- [immuneSIM](https://github.com/GreiffLab/immuneSIM/): in silico
|
|
generation of human and mouse BCR and TCR repertoires
|
|
- [CuReSim](http://www.pegase-biosciences.com/curesim-a-customized-read-simulator/):
|
|
read simulator that mimics Ion Torrent sequencing
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
This project uses [Nix](https://nixos.org/) to ensure reproducible
|
|
builds.
|
|
|
|
1. Install Nix (compatible with MacOS, Linux and
|
|
[WSL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about)):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Clone the repository:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://git.coolneng.duckdns.org/coolneng/locigenesis
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Change the working directory to the project:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd locigenesis
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Enter the nix-shell:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nix-shell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After running these commands, you will find yourself in a shell that
|
|
contains all the needed dependencies.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
An execution script that accepts 2 parameters is provided, the following
|
|
command invokes it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./generation.sh <number of sequences> <number of reads>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- \<number of sequences\>: an integer that specifies the number of
|
|
different sequences to generate
|
|
- \<number of reads\>: an integer that specifies the number of reads
|
|
to perform on each sequence
|
|
|
|
The script will generate 2 files under the data directory:
|
|
|
|
------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
HVR.fastq Contains the original CDR3 sequence
|
|
CuReSim-HVR.fastq Contains CDR3 after the read simulation, with sequencing errors
|
