diamond大基因序列快速比对工具使用详解-包含超算集群多节点计算使用方法

本文主要是介绍diamond大基因序列快速比对工具使用详解-包含超算集群多节点计算使用方法，希望对大家解决编程问题提供一定的参考价值，需要的开发者们随着小编来一起学习吧！

Diamond是一款快速的序列比对工具，其使用方法如下：

1. 安装Diamond：

可从官方网站（https://github.com/bbuchfink/diamond/releases）下载安装包，并安装到本地电脑中。当然还有docker，conda以及编译安装方式，一般用不上，但注意新版对gcc的要求高，出现gcc错误时可选择下载低版本的diamond或者升级gcc到指定版本以上。

#下载diamond程序文件
wget http://github.com/bbuchfink/diamond/releases/download/v2.1.8/diamond-linux64.tar.gz
###其他版本直接访问http://github.com/bbuchfink/diamond/releases/download/查看#解压会出来一个diamond的文件
tar -xzvf diamond-linux64.tar.gz
#移到系统环境目录、或将当前目录加入系统环境目录，或者直接使用路径加diamond命令运行
diamond blastx./diamond blastx/opt/diamond blastx

2. 准备数据集：

首先需要准备用于比对的序列数据集，比如fasta格式的序列文件。

#下载nr数据库，或这自己需要的数据库
wget ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/FASTA/nr.gz
gunzip nr.gz
#使用diamond命令创建dimond格式数据库
diamond makedb --in nr --db nr

3. 运行Diamond：

常规使用

在终端中输入以下命令，即可启动Diamond程序并运行比对任务：
diamond blastx -d [参考序列文件] -q [待比对序列文件] -o [输出文件名]

#下载nr数据库，或这自己需要的数据库
wget ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/FASTA/nr.gz
gunzip nr.gz
#使用diamond命令创建dimond格式数据库
diamond makedb --in nr --db nr#命令使用
diamond blastx --db nr -q reads.fna -o dna_matches_fmt6.txt
diamond blastp --db nr -q reads.faa -o protein_matches_fmt6.txt

其中，blastx表示使用蛋白质序列比对算法，-d和-q分别指定参考序列文件和待比对序列文件，-o指定输出文件名。

超算集群多计算节点并行计算（私房菜）Distributed computing

diamond尽管速度快，但对于大文件进行比对时，大于1G以上的文件对于40核的单个节点可能仍然需要几天的时间，如果有较多的节点时，可以使用多节点的并行计算，这一点太给力了。

准备工作（重要，否则不成功）：

1、将diamond程序目录在各节点间共享

2、样品序列目录在各节点间共享

3、所有节点使用相同的临时目录在各节点间共享。

# Diamond distributed-memory parallel processing
#Diamond supports the parallel processing of large alignments on HPC clusters and #supercomputers, spanning numerous compute nodes. Work distribution is orchestrated by #Diamond via a shared file system typically available on such clusters, using lightweight #file-based stacks and POSIX functionality.#Usage
#To run Diamond in parallel, two steps need to be performed. First, during a short #initialization run using a single process, the query and database are scanned and chunks #of work are written to the file-based stacks on the parallel file system. Second, the #actual parallel run is performed, where multiple DIAMOND processes on different compute #nodes work on chunks of the query and the reference database to perform alignments and #joins.#Initialization 先进行任务初始化，这个只需要在第一个节点上初始化就行了。其他节点直接启动后面一步的并行计算命令就行
#The initialization of a parallel run should be done (e.g. interactively on a login node) #using the parameters --multiprocessing --mp-init as follows:diamond blastp --db DATABASE.dmnd --query QUERY.fasta --multiprocessing --mp-init --tmpdir $TMPDIR --parallel-tmpdir $PTMPDIR#Here $TMPDIR refers to a local temporary directory, whereas $PTMPDIR refers to a #directory in the parallel file system where the file-based stacks containing the work #packages will be created. Note that the size of the chunking and thereby the number of #work packages is controlled via the --block-size parameter.#Parallel run 开始真实的并行计算，可以在所有计算节点启动
#The actual parallel run should be done using the parameter --multiprocessing as follows:diamond blastp --db DATABASE.dmnd --query QUERY.fasta -o OUTPUT_FILE --multiprocessing --tmpdir $TMPDIR --parallel-tmpdir $PTMPDIR#这里特意说明文件夹与任务初始化文件夹的一致性，主要是临时计算目录tmpdir
#Note that $PTMPDIR must refer to the same location as used during the initialization, #and it must be accessible from any of the compute nodes involved. To launch the parallel #processes on many nodes, a batch system such as SLURM is typically used. For the output #not a single stream is used but rather multiple files are created, one for each query #chunk.#SLURM batch file example   slurm超算集群脚本，这个不多说了吧，使用这个更方便一点，没有也不用担心，使用前面那两个命令即可。
#The following script shows an example of how a massively parallel can be performed using #the SLURM batch system on a supercomputer.#!/bin/bash -l
#SBATCH -D ./
#SBATCH -J DIAMOND
#SBATCH --mem=185000
#SBATCH --nodes=520
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-core=2
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=80
#SBATCH --mail-type=none
#SBATCH --time=24:00:00module purge
module load gcc impi
export SLURM_HINT=multithread###以下是超算的相关说明，重点关注前面配置即可。
srun diamond FLAGS
FLAGS refers to the aforementioned parallel flags for Diamond. Note that the actual configuration of the nodes varies between machines, and therefore, the parameters shown here are not of general applicability. It is recommended to start with few nodes on small problems, first.Abort and resume
Parallel runs can be aborted and later resumed, and unfinished work packages from a previous run can be recovered and resubmitted in a subsequent run.Using the option --multiprocessing --mp-recover for the same value of --parallel-tmpdir will scan the working directory and configure a new parallel run including only the work packages that have not been completed in the previous run.Placing a file stop in the working directory causes DIAMOND processes to shut down in a controlled way after finishing the current work package. After removing the stop file, the multiprocessing run can be continued.Parameter optimization
The granularity of the size of the work packages can be adjusted via the --block-size which at the same time affects the memory requirements at runtime. Parallel runs on more than 512 nodes of a supercomputer have been performed successfully.

4. 结果解读：

比对结束后，可以查看输出文件中的比对结果。Diamond的输出文件包含每个待比对序列的匹配结果，包括匹配的参考序列名、匹配位置、匹配得分等信息。

结果字段表示与原生blast结果表示相同：

update_blastdb.pl --decompress --blastdb_version 5 swissprot
./diamond prepdb -d swissprot
./diamond blastp -d swissprot -q queries.fasta -o matches.tsvSome important points to consider:Repeat masking is applied to the query and reference sequences by default. To disable it, use --masking 0.  默认情况下是允许重复结果，如果只输出最优结果就加上 --masking 0
DIAMOND is optimized for large input files of >1 million proteins. Naturally the tool can be used for smaller files as well, but the algorithm will not reach its full efficiency.
The program may use quite a lot of memory and also temporary disk space. Should the program fail due to running out of either one, you need to set a lower value for the block size parameter -b.  DIAMOND是大文件效率更好，对于小文件建议添加 -b 的参数
The sensitivity can be adjusted using the options --fast, --mid-sensitive, --sensitive, --more-sensitive, --very-sensitive and --ultra-sensitive.   比对敏感性，越往后其结果越接近原生blast结果，但速度也越慢，一般使用--more-sensitive比较适中，计算资源不够的就使用fast。
