Overview

MitoSeek is an open-source software tool to reliably and easily extract mitochondrial genome information from exome sequencing data. MitoSeek evaluates mitochondrial genome alignment quality, estimates relative mitochondrial copy numbers, and detects heteroplasmy, somatic mutation, and structural variance of the mitochondrial genome.

## Usage Example code for running MitoSeek with given toy dataset could be ```bash perl mitoSeek.pl -i Examples/brca_tumor.bam -j Examples/brca_normal.bam -t 4 -sb 0 -hp 1 -d 5 -str 4 -sp 1 -sa 0 ```

### Release version 1.1 on Feb 15, 2013 Version 1.1 has been improved according to reviewers' advise.

Changes are here:

  • Add option -advance to improve mitochondrial reads extraction, which is done by 1) Initially extract mitochrodrial reads from a bam file, then 2) remove those could be remapped to non-mitochondrial human genome by bwa. The version v1.0 only implementes the step 1
  • Add Statistical framework for heteroplasmy detection, which are fisher test and [empirical bayesian] (#bayes).
  • Add option -samtools for people who would like to use their specified samtools
  • Add options -bwa and --bwaindex which are needed if use -advance option
  • In the heteroplasmy output, it will contain columns of fisher.pvalue, fisher.adjust.pvalue,fisher.phred.score,empirical.probability, and empirical.phred.score
  • Thanks to Peter's code for beta calculation in perl at http://home.online.no/~pjacklam/perl/modules/
### Release version 1.0 on Dec 14, 2012 Initial version for the paper Statistical framework for heteroplasmy detection ----------------------------------------------------------------- We have implemented statistical framework in addition to the empirical filters. We added a function to perform a one-tail Fisher’s exact test to determine if the rate of heteroplasmy is significantly greater than user defined cutoff (-hp). Moreover, MitoSeek also provides Phred quality scores based on the p-value. ### Fisher's exact test ```bash major minor observed n11 n12 | n1p expected n21 n22 | n2p ----------------- np1 np2 npp where n11 and n12 are observed number of major and minor alleles, n21 = (n11+n12)*(1-hp/100) in which hp is defined by -hp n22 = (n11+n12)*hp/100 in which hp is defined by -hp ```

The phred score of heteroplasmy for Fisher's exact test calucated as

phred.score.fisher = - log10 * log10(fisher.pvalue)
### Empirical Bayesian for Binomial proportion with conjugate Beta prior
                                      hp          
                                    _ ---         
                                   /  100         
likelihood.of.heteroplasmy =  1 -  |      f(x) dx 
                                  _/  0           


where

                        1             a  + n12 - 1         b  + n11 - 1  
f(x) =  -------------------------- * x            * (1 - x)
        beta(n12 +  a ,n11 +  b )                             
                                                                     

a and b are share parameters of Beta prior distribution, which are estimated from 600 BRCA samples.

The phred score of heteroplasmy for Empirical Bayesian approach is calculated as

phred.score.empirical = - log10 * log10(1 - likelihood.of.heteroplasmy)


Prerequisites

MitoSeek runs on 32-bit or 64-bit GNU/Linux and request perl packages like GD::Graph::boxplot, etc. Here are the steps you need to do to install packages needed for the MitoSeek program.

### Step1: Intall perl packages required by [circos](http://circos.ca/) MitoSeek utilizes [circos](http://circos.ca/) to plot heteroplasmy and somatic mutation, thus, perl packages required by [circos](http://circos.ca/) needed to been installed first.
#1) go to the circos package folder which is included as part of the MitoSeek 
cd Resources/circos-0.56/bin

#2) Check whether all the packages needed by circos plot are intalled on your PC,
#if this does not work, try 'chmod +x test.modules'
./test.modules

If all the packages are installed on your PC, it will look like this.

ok   Carp
ok   Config::General
ok   Cwd
ok   Data::Dumper
ok   Digest::MD5
ok   File::Basename
ok   File::Spec::Functions
ok   File::Temp
ok   FindBin
ok   GD
ok   GD::Image
ok   GD::Polyline
ok   Getopt::Long
ok   IO::File
ok   List::MoreUtils
ok   List::Util
ok   Math::Bezier
ok   Math::BigFloat
ok   Math::Round
ok   Math::VecStat
ok   Memoize
ok   Params::Validate
ok   Pod::Usage
ok   POSIX
ok   Readonly
ok   Regexp::Common
ok   Set::IntSpan
ok   Storable
ok   Sys::Hostname
ok   Text::Format
ok   Time::HiRes

Otherwise, it may look like this.

ok   Carp
fail Config::General is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
ok   Cwd
ok   Data::Dumper
ok   Digest::MD5
ok   File::Basename
ok   File::Spec::Functions
ok   File::Temp
ok   FindBin
fail GD is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
fail GD::Image is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
fail GD::Polyline is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
ok   Getopt::Long
ok   IO::File
fail List::MoreUtils is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
ok   List::Util
fail Math::Bezier is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
ok   Math::BigFloat
fail Math::Round is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
fail Math::VecStat is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
ok   Memoize
ok   Params::Validate
ok   Pod::Usage
ok   POSIX
fail Readonly is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
fail Regexp::Common is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
fail Set::IntSpan is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
ok   Storable
ok   Sys::Hostname
fail Text::Format is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)
fail Time::HiRes is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing)

If this happens, try to install the missing packages by cpan (If you you don't have root previlege, please look at [here] (#perlsetup) to set up your own perl environment).

#run in root if the packages will be installed in the system path
#like /usr/local/lib64/perl5
./test.modules |grep fail|cut -f2 -d" "|xargs -I {} cpan {}
### Step2: Intall perl packages required by MitoSeek In addition to the perl packages required by [circos](http://circos.ca/), there are several other packages needed to be installed on your PC. ```bash #go the the folder where your MitoSeek is #And test whether all the required modules have been installed. ./test.modules ``` The successful output would look like this ```bash ok Convert ok Cwd ok File::Basename ok File::Path ok FindBin ok GD ok GD::Graph::bars3d ok GD::Graph::boxplot ok GD::Graph::lines ok GD::Text::Wrap ok Getopt::Long ok List::Util ok Mitoanno ok Statistics::KernelEstimation ``` Otherwise, it may look like this ```bash ok Convert ok Cwd ok File::Basename ok File::Path ok FindBin fail GD is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing) fail GD::Graph::bars3d is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing) fail GD::Graph::boxplot is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing) fail GD::Graph::lines is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing) fail GD::Text::Wrap is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing) ok Getopt::Long ok List::Util ok Mitoanno fail Statistics::KernelEstimation is not usable (it or a sub-module is missing) ``` To install the missing packages is the same way as we did in [step1] (#step1) for those missing packages requried by [circos](http://circos.ca/). ```bash #run in root if the packages will be installed in the system path #like /usr/local/lib64/perl5 ./test.modules |grep fail|cut -f2 -d" "|xargs -I {} cpan {} ``` ### Step3: Build samtools We include [samtools] (http://samtools.sourceforge.net/) as part of MitoSeek, however, you need to build it before you use MitoSeek. ```bash #go the samtools folder cd Resources/samtools tar jxvf samtools-0.1.18.tar.bz2 cd samtools-0.1.18 #build samtools and move the samtools program into its parental folder make mv samtools ../ #remove the samtools source code if you like cd ../ rm -rf samtools-0.1.18 ```

Or you can change the mitoSeek.pl script and tell the program where is the samtools on your PC. Here is the line you need to modify.

my $samtools = "$FindBin::Bin/Resources/samtools/samtools";  #Where is the samtools file
Others ----------------------------------- ### Configure your perl environment Ususally you don't have root previlege and it will prevent you when you try to install perl packages by default. Here is a brief way to install perl packages without root previlege, detials could be found at http://www.perl.com/pub/2002/04/10/mod_perl.html or searching by google.

Step 1, Setting your PERL5LIB environment variable

#If your own perl libary top folder is ~/perllib
#Then add the following lines in your ~/.bashrc
#because the subfolders could be different due to different versions of perl
#and linux, so to save time by adding subfolders in the PERL5LIB, we use 'for'
#to add all the subfolders. 
PERL5LIB=~/perllib
if [ -d ~/perllib ]; then
  for i in `find ~/perllib -type d`
    do
      PERL5LIB=$i:$PERL5LIB
    done
fi
export $PERL5LIB

Step 2, Configure your cpan

#type cpan into cpan environment
cpan

Then

#In cpan environment
o conf makepl_arg PREFIX="~/perllib"
o conf commit

#exit the cpan environment
exit
