<p>OBITools manipulate have to manipulate DNA sequence data and taxonomical data. They can use some supplentary metadata describing the experiment and produce some stats about the processed DNA data. All the manipulated data are stored in text files, following standard data format.</p>

|

<p>Sequences can be stored following various format. OBITools knows some of them. The central formats for sequence files manipulated by OBITools scripts are the <a href="#the-fasta-sequence-format"><code>fasta</code></a> and <a href="#the-fastq-sequence-format"><code>fastq</code></a> format. OBITools extends the both these formats by specifying a syntax to include in the definition line data qualifying the sequence. All file formats use the <code>IUPAC</code> code for encoding nucleotides.</p>
|
||
<p>Moreover these two formats that can be used as input and output formats, <strong>OBITools4</strong> can read the following format :</p>

<h2 data-number="3.2" class="anchored" data-anchor-id="sec-fasta"><span class="header-section-number">3.2</span> The <em>fasta</em> sequence format</h2>
|
||
<p>The <strong>fasta format</strong> is certainly the most widely used sequence file format. This is certainly due to its great simplicity. It was originally created for the Lipman and Pearson <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3162770?dopt=Citation">FASTA program</a>. OBITools use in more of the classical <code>fasta</code> format an <code>extended version</code> of this format where structured data are included in the title line.</p>
|
||
<p>In <em>fasta</em> format a sequence is represented by a title line beginning with a <strong><code>></code></strong> character and the sequences by itself following the :doc:<code>iupac</code> code. The sequence is usually split other severals lines of the same length (expect for the last one)</p>
|
||
<pre><code>>my_sequence this is my pretty sequence
|
||
ACGTTGCAGTACGTTGCAGTACGTTGCAGTACGTTGCAGTACGTTGCAGTACGTTGCAGT
|
||
GTGCTGACGTTGCAGTACGTTGCAGTACGTTGCAGTACGTTGCAGTACGTTGCAGTGTTT
|
||
AACGACGTTGCAGTACGTTGCAGT</code></pre>
|
||
<p>This is no special format for the title line excepting that this line should be unique. Usually the first word following the <strong>></strong> character is considered as the sequence identifier. The end of the title line corresponding to a description of the sequence. Several sequences can be concatenated in a same file. The description of the next sequence is just pasted at the end of the record of the previous one</p>

|
||
<p>The <strong>FASTQ</strong> format is a text file format for storing both biological sequences (only nucleic acid sequences) and the associated quality scores. The sequence and score are each encoded by a single ASCII character. This format was originally developed by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute to link a <a href="#the-fasta-sequence-format">FASTA</a> sequence file to the corresponding quality data, but has recently become the de facto standard for storing results from high-throughput sequencers <span class="citation" data-cites="cock2010sanger">(<a href="references.html#ref-cock2010sanger" role="doc-biblioref">Cock et al. 2010</a>)</span>.</p>
|
||
<p>A fastq file normally uses four lines per sequence.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Line 1 begins with a ‘@’ character and is followed by a sequence identifier and an <em>optional</em> description (like a :ref:<code>fasta</code> title line).</li>
|
||
<li>Line 2 is the raw sequence letters.</li>
|
||
<li>Line 3 begins with a ‘+’ character and is <em>optionally</em> followed by the same sequence identifier (and any description) again.</li>
|
||
<li>Line 4 encodes the quality values for the sequence in Line 2, and must contain the same number of symbols as letters in the sequence.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>A fastq file containing a single sequence might look like this:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>@SEQ_ID
|
||
GATTTGGGGTTCAAAGCAGTATCGATCAAATAGTAAATCCATTTGTTCAACTCACAGTTT
|
||
+
|
||
!''*((((***+))%%%++)(%%%%).1***-+*''))**55CCF>>>>>>CCCCCCC65</code></pre>
|
||
<p>The character ‘!’ represents the lowest quality while ‘~’ is the highest. Here are the quality value characters in left-to-right increasing order of quality (<code>ASCII</code>):</p>
|
||
<pre><code>!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]
|
||
^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~</code></pre>
|
||
<p>The original Sanger FASTQ files also allowed the sequence and quality strings to be wrapped (split over multiple lines), but this is generally discouraged as it can make parsing complicated due to the unfortunate choice of “@” and “+” as markers (these characters can also occur in the quality string).</p>

|
||
<p>The Phred quality value <em>Q</em> is an integer mapping of <em>p</em> (i.e., the probability that the corresponding base call is incorrect). Two different equations have been in use. The first is the standard Sanger variant to assess reliability of a base call, otherwise known as Phred quality score:</p>
|
||
<p><span class="math display">\[
|
||
Q_\text{sanger} = -10 \, \log_{10} p
|
||
\]</span></p>
|
||
<p>The Solexa pipeline (i.e., the software delivered with the Illumina Genome Analyzer) earlier used a different mapping, encoding the odds <span class="math inline">\(\mathbf{p}/(1-\mathbf{p})\)</span> instead of the probability <span class="math inline">\(\mathbf{p}\)</span>:</p>
|
||
<p><span class="math display">\[
|
||
Q_\text{solexa-prior to v.1.3} = -10 \; \log_{10} \frac{p}{1-p}
|
||
\]</span></p>
|
||
<p>Although both mappings are asymptotically identical at higher quality values, they differ at lower quality levels (i.e., approximately <span class="math inline">\(\mathbf{p} > 0.05\)</span>, or equivalently, <span class="math inline">\(\mathbf{Q} < 13\)</span>).</p>

|
||
<p>The <em>fastq</em> format had differente way of encoding the Phred quality score along the time. Here a breif history of these changes is presented.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Sanger format can encode a Phred quality score from 0 to 93 using ASCII 33 to 126 (although in raw read data the Phred quality score rarely exceeds 60, higher scores are possible in assemblies or read maps).</li>
|
||
<li>Solexa/Illumina 1.0 format can encode a Solexa/Illumina quality score from -5 to 62 using ASCII 59 to 126 (although in raw read data Solexa scores from -5 to 40 only are expected)</li>
|
||
<li>Starting with Illumina 1.3 and before Illumina 1.8, the format encoded a Phred quality score from 0 to 62 using ASCII 64 to 126 (although in raw read data Phred scores from 0 to 40 only are expected).</li>
|
||
<li>Starting in Illumina 1.5 and before Illumina 1.8, the Phred scores 0 to 2 have a slightly different meaning. The values 0 and 1 are no longer used and the value 2, encoded by ASCII 66 “B”.</li>
|
||
</ul>

<p>Sequencing Control Software, Version 2.6, (Catalog # SY-960-2601, Part # 15009921 Rev. A, November 2009, page 30) states the following: <em>If a read ends with a segment of mostly low quality (Q15 or below), then all of the quality values in the segment are replaced with a value of 2 (encoded as the letter B in Illumina’s text-based encoding of quality scores)… This Q2 indicator does not predict a specific error rate, but rather indicates that a specific final portion of the read should not be used in further analyses.</em> Also, the quality score encoded as “B” letter may occur internally within reads at least as late as pipeline version 1.6, as shown in the following example:</p>

|
||
<p>An alternative interpretation of this ASCII encoding has been proposed. Also, in Illumina runs using PhiX controls, the character ‘B’ was observed to represent an “unknown quality score”. The error rate of ‘B’ reads was roughly 3 phred scores lower the mean observed score of a given run.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Starting in Illumina 1.8, the quality scores have basically returned to the use of the Sanger format (Phred+33).</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>OBItools follows the Sanger format. Nevertheless, It is possible to read files encoded following the Solexa/Illumina format by applying a shift of 62 (see the option <strong>--solexa</strong> of the OBITools commands).</p>
