blast_to_derep: Blast some sequence against sequences from of a 'derep-class'...

In MiscMetabar: Miscellaneous Functions for Metabarcoding Analysis

Blast some sequence against sequences from of a derep-class object.

Description

Use the blast software.

Usage

blast_to_derep(
  derep,
  seq2search,
  blastpath = NULL,
  id_cut = 90,
  bit_score_cut = 50,
  min_cover_cut = 50,
  e_value_cut = 1e-30,
  unique_per_seq = FALSE,
  score_filter = FALSE,
  list_no_output_query = FALSE,
  min_length_seq = 200,
  args_makedb = NULL,
  args_blastn = NULL,
  nproc = 1,
  keep_temporary_files = FALSE
)

Arguments

derep	The result of dada2::derepFastq(). A list of derep-class object.
seq2search	(required) path to a fasta file defining the sequences you want to blast against the taxa (ASV, OTU) sequences from the physeq object.
blastpath	path to blast program
id_cut	(default: 90) cut of in identity percent to keep result
bit_score_cut	(default: 50) cut of in bit score to keep result The higher the bit-score, the better the sequence similarity. The bit-score is the requires size of a sequence database in which the current match could be found just by chance. The bit-score is a log2 scaled and normalized raw-score. Each increase by one doubles the required database size (2bit-score).
min_cover_cut	(default: 50) cut of in query cover (%) to keep result
e_value_cut	(default: 1e-30) cut of in e-value (%) to keep result The BLAST E-value is the number of expected hits of similar quality (score) that could be found just by chance.
unique_per_seq	(logical, default FALSE) if TRUE only return the better match (higher bit score) for each sequence
score_filter	(logical, default TRUE) does results are filter by score? If FALSE, id_cut,bit_score_cut, e_value_cut and min_cover_cut are ignored
list_no_output_query	(logical) does the result table include query sequences for which blastn does not find any correspondence?
min_length_seq	(default: 200) Removed sequences with less than min_length_seq from derep before blast. Set to 0 to discard filtering sequences by length.
args_makedb	Additional arguments passed on to makeblastdb command
args_blastn	Additional arguments passed on to blastn command
nproc	(default: 1) Set to number of cpus/processors to use for blast (args -num_threads for blastn command)
keep_temporary_files	(logical, default: FALSE) Do we keep temporary files : db.fasta (refseq transformed into a database) dbase list of files (output of blastn) blast_result.txt the summary result of blastn using ⁠-outfmt "6 qseqid qlen sseqid slen length pident evalue bitscore qcovs"⁠

Value
