Run Demo

  1. Edit HOSTS.cfg to enter the mysql userid (user=) and password (password=). Changing 'host=localhost' has no effect as it only works with localhost.
  2. Run "./runAW".
  3. Press "Select a project", which will show you "demo"; select it.
  4. Go to bottom of window and press "Build". You will be prompted in the terminal window to answer one or more questions.
  5. The expected output is shown at the bottom of this webpage.

To create the AW database

  1. Edit HOSTS.cfg to enter the mysql userid and password. Changing 'host=localhost' has no effect as it only works with localhost.
  2. Run "./runAW".
  3. Press "Create" and you will be prompted for a project name. This will create a directory
    under "/projects", where it will write the AW.cfg configuration file.
  4. Fill out all sections, where everything is required except those entries with (Optional).
  5. Either press "Build" at the bottom of the window.
    Or "Save", exit, and run "./buildAW <project name>",
    Either way, you will need to answer one or more questions at the terminal prompt.
This builds the database and creates a directory "AW_output" under the "project/<project name>"
which contains ntRef.fa and ntAlt.fa, which can be used as input to the transASE.pl script.

To update the AW database

  1. Make any changes to the input files using runAW, then save and exit.
  2. Execute ./buildAW with project_name and option.
    To view options, execute ./buildAW with no parameters, or see below.

Information on input

Details of the file formats are given in the Files documentation.

Important: The naming of the input files must agree with the abbreviations
for Condition #1 and optional Condition #2. This is explained in the Files document.

Variant Files

  1. The variant file(s) and variant annotation file(s) may be the same.
  2. The variant count files should be created with the AW pipeline as the naming of the files is important.
  3. The variant effect file may be made with snpEff (very easy to use)
    or the Ensembl Variant Predictor website. If no effect input is supplied,
    the buildAW will compute the effects missense, synonymous, UTR5 and UTR3.

Reference Genome

  1. This is used to create transcripts, which are loaded into the database and written to file.
  2. The sequenced genome must be split into chromosome files, prefixed by "chrN"
    where N is the number or X or Y. (The prefix does not have to be "chr", as long as whatever
    is used is consistently used).

buildAW

buildAW <project> [optional action]
   Read projects/<project>/AW.cfg for the parameters.
   The database is AW_<project>

Load all (no action)
   Load GTK genes and trans (GTK)
   Load Variants (VCF)
   Compute transcripts and proteins (genome sequence)
   Load Variant coverage (BED)

Plus the following actions 5-8, which can also be run separately
To run separately, add the necessary file information to runAW, save, then run buildAW

Action  Description
5   Load Variant effects (Ensembl Variant Predictor or snpEFF)
6   Load Gene NCBI descriptions (Genbank)
7   Compute AI=allele imbalance

8   Load Transcript counts (.xprs)
    This is typically run separately since it needs the transcripts,
    which are output during the database build,
    but the trans counts will load during build if available.

N   (where N>20) Compute transcript coverage with read size=N
    by default, it uses 100 during the addition of variant coverage
