vsearch_clustering: Recluster sequences of an object of class 'physeq' or cluster...

In MiscMetabar: Miscellaneous Functions for Metabarcoding Analysis

Recluster sequences of an object of class physeq or cluster a list of DNA sequences using vsearch software

Description

A wrapper of VSEARCH software.

Usage

vsearch_clustering(
  physeq = NULL,
  dna_seq = NULL,
  nproc = 1,
  id = 0.97,
  vsearchpath = "vsearch",
  tax_adjust = 0,
  vsearch_cluster_method = "--cluster_size",
  vsearch_args = "--strand both",
  keep_temporary_files = FALSE
)

Arguments

physeq	(required): a phyloseq-class object obtained using the phyloseq package.
dna_seq	You may directly use a character vector of DNA sequences in place of physeq args. When physeq is set, dna sequences take the value of physeq@refseq
nproc	(default: 1) Set to number of cpus/processors to use for the clustering
id	(default: 0.97) level of identity to cluster
vsearchpath	(default: vsearch) path to vsearch
tax_adjust	(Default 0) See the man page of merge_taxa_vec() for more details. To conserved the taxonomic rank of the most abundant ASV, set tax_adjust to 0 (default). For the moment only tax_adjust = 0 is robust
vsearch_cluster_method	(default: "–cluster_size) See other possible methods in the vsearch manual (e.g. --cluster_size or --cluster_smallmem) --cluster_fast : Clusterize the fasta sequences in filename, automatically sort by decreasing sequence length beforehand. --cluster_size : Clusterize the fasta sequences in filename, automatically sort by decreasing sequence abundance beforehand. --cluster_smallmem : Clusterize the fasta sequences in filename without automatically modifying their order beforehand. Sequence are expected to be sorted by decreasing sequence length, unless –usersort is used. In that case you may set vsearch_args to vsearch_args = "–strand both –usersort"
vsearch_args	(default : "–strand both") a one length character element defining other parameters to passed on to vsearch.
keep_temporary_files	(logical, default: FALSE) Do we keep temporary files ? temp.fasta (refseq in fasta or dna_seq sequences) cluster.fasta (centroid if method = "vsearch") temp.uc (clusters if method = "vsearch")

Details

This function use the merge_taxa_vec() function to merge taxa into clusters. By default tax_adjust = 0. See the man page of merge_taxa_vec().

This function is mainly a wrapper of the work of others. Please cite vsearch.

Value

A new object of class physeq or a list of cluster if dna_seq args was used.
