GeMoMa pipeline

This tool can be used to run the complete GeMoMa pipeline. The tool is multi-threaded and can utilize all compute cores on one machine, but not distributed as for instance in a compute cluster. It basically runs: Extract RNA-seq evidence (ERE), DenoiseIntrons, Extractor, external search (tblastn or mmseqs), Gene Model Mapper (GeMoMa), GeMoMa Annotation Filter (GAF), and AnnnotationFinalizer.

GeneModelMapper

This tool is the main part of, a homology-based gene prediction tool. GeMoMa builds gene models from search results (e.g. tblastn or mmseqs).

As first step, you should run Extractor obtaining cds parts and assignment. Second, you should run a search algorithm, e.g. tblastn or mmseqs, with cds parts as query. Finally, these search results are then used in GeMoMa. Search results should be clustered according to the reference genes. The most easiest way is to sort the search results accoring to the first column. If the search results are not sorted by default (e.g. mmseqs), you should the parameter sort. If you like to run GeMoMa ignoring intron position conservation, you should blast protein sequences and feed the results in query cds parts and leave assignment unselected.

If you like to run GeMoMa using RNA-seq evidence, you should map your RNA-seq reads to the genome and run ERE on the mapped reads. For several reasons, spurious introns can be extracted from RNA-seq data. Hence, we recommend to run DenoiseIntrons to remove such spurious introns. Finally, you can use the obtained introns (and coverage) in GeMoMa.

If you like to obtain multiple predictions per gene model of the reference organism, you should set predictions accordingly. In addition, we suggest to decrease the value of contig threshold allowing GeMoMa to evaluate more candidate contigs/chromosomes.

If you change the values of contig threshold, region threshold and hit threshold, this will influence the predictions as well as the runtime of the algorithm. The lower the values are, the slower the algorithm is.

You can filter your predictions using GAF, which also allows for combining predictions from different reference organismns.

Finally, you can predict UTRs and rename predictions using AnnotationFinalizer.

If you like to run the complete GeMoMa pipeline and not only specific module, you can run the multi-threaded module GeMoMaPipeline.

GeMoMa Annotation Filter

This tool combines and filters gene predictions from different sources yielding a common gene prediction. The tool does not modify the predictions, but filters redundant and low-quality predictions and selects relevant predictions. In addition, it adds attributes to the annotation of transcript predictions.

The algorithm does the following: First, redundant predictions are identified (and additional attributes (evidence, sumWeight) are introduced). Second, the predictions are filtered using the user-specified criterium based on the attributes from the annotation. Third, clusters of overlapping predictions are determined, the predictions are sorted within the cluster and relevant predictions are extracted.

Optionally, annotation info can be added for each reference organism enabling a functional prediction for predicted transcripts based on the function of the reference transcript. Phytozome provides annotation info tables for plants, but annotation info can be used from any source as long as they are tab-delimited files with at least the following columns: transcriptName, GO and .*defline.

Initially, GAF was build to combine gene predictions obtained from GeMoMa. It allows to combine the predictions from multiple reference organisms, but works also using only one reference organism. However, GAF also allows to integrate predictions from ab-initio or purely RNA-seq-based gene predictors as well as manually curated annotation. If you like to do so, we recommend to run AnnotationEvidence for each of these input files to add additional attributes that can be used for sorting and filtering within GAF. The sort and filter criteria need to be carefully revised in this case. Default values can be set for missing attributes.

GeMoMa Annotation Filter may be called with

java -jar GeMoMa-1.8.jar CLI GAF

name	comment	type
t	tag (the tag used to read the GeMoMa annotations, default = mRNA)	STRING
The following parameter(s) can be used multiple times:

The default filter decides based on the completeness of the prediction (start=='M' and stop=='*') and the relative score (score/aa>=0.75) whether a prediction is used or not. In addition, predictions without score (isNaN(score)) will be used as external annotations do not have the attribute score. Different criteria can be combined using 'and' and 'or'. A more sophisticated filter could be applied for instance using the completeness, the relative score, the evidence as well as statistics based on RNA-seq: start=='M' and stop=='*' and score/aa>=0.75 and (evidence>1 or tpc==1.0), default = start=='M' and stop=='*' and (isNaN(score) or score/aa>=0.75), OPTIONAL)	STRING

A more sophisticated filter could be applied combining several criteria: tie==1 or sumWeight>1, default = tie==1 or sumWeight>1, OPTIONAL)	STRING

Analyzer

This tools allows to compare true annotation with predicted annotation as it is frequently done in benchmark studies. Furthermore, it can return a detailed table comparing true annotation and predicted annotation which might help to identify systematical errors or biases in the predictions. Hence, this tool might help to detect weaknesses of the prediction algorithm.

True and predicted transcripts are evaluated based on nucleotide F1 measure. For each predicted transcript, the true transcript with highest nucleotide F1 measure is listed. A negative value in a F1 measure column indicates that there is a predicted transcript that matches the true transcript with a F1 measure value that is the absolute value of this entry, but there is another true transcript that matches this predicted transcript with an even better F1. Also true and predicted transcripts are listed that do not overlap with any transcript from the predicted and true annotation, respectively. The table contains the attributes of the true and the predicted annotation besides some additional columns allowing to easily filter interesting examples and to do statistics.

The evaluation can be based on CDS (default) or exon features. The tool also reports sensitivity and precision for the categories gene and transcript.
