BD Rhapsody™ Analysis Pipeline Updates
- v1.12 BD Rhapsody™ Targeted Analysis Pipeline and BD Rhapsody™ WTA Analysis Pipeline
- Added support for Flex Sample Multiplexing Kit
- Added support for Rhapsody Enhanced bead V2 with an expanded cell label diversity
- New input option: Generate_Bam - Added option to skip creating BAM file output
- Upgraded CWL to version 1.2 (for local runs, may require update of cwltool > 3.0.20200807)
- Pipeline Report: Added cell label graph when an exact count is specified
- TCR/BCR: nodes are only executed when necessary
- TCR/BCR: Use productive status to inform consolidating chains for the VDJ perCell output file
- TCR/BCR: Dominant Contigs AIRR file now has DBEC filtering applied and is uncompressed
- TCR/BCR: Both AIRR files have an additional column: cell_type_experimental
- TCR/BCR: The non-AIRR Dominant/Unfiltered contig files are no longer part of the pipeline output (content was redundant with AIRR files)
- TCR/BCR: R2 alignment analysis will prioritize IG/TR gene features when TCR/BCR is enabled
- v1.11.1 BD Rhapsody™ Targeted Analysis Pipeline and BD Rhapsody™ WTA Analysis Pipeline
- Improved speed and disk usage of AnnotateReads step
- Update Pandas version to fix error: “ValueError: Unstacked DataFrame is too big, causing int32 overflow”
- Better prediction of RAM requirements
- Improved basic and refined putative cell calling algorithms
- Deletion of unnecessary intermediate files to save disk space
- Seven Bridges deployment: Fix for error “Instance not available for automatic scheduling”
-
v1.11 BD Rhapsody™ Targeted Analysis Pipeline and BD Rhapsody™ WTA Analysis Pipeline Released:
- Added a pipeline report HTML that contains information about the analysis including the metrics summary and graphs to visualize the results
- By default, reads aligned to exons and introns are now considered and represented in molecule counts. Added parameter to control this behavior.
- Added new "Alignment Categories" for TCR and BCR reads
- Added support for VDJ Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire (AIRR) standard format
- For pipeline run where putative cells are determined based on AbSeq (protein) counts, added file output of cell IDs corresponding to suspected protein aggregates
- Updated CWL workflow on Seven Bridges to fix memory failures and dynamically allocate resources for large datasets
- Improved flexibility for FASTQ file naming
- Updated Picard to version 2.27.4
- Updated bead version detection
- v1.10.1 BD Rhapsody™ Targeted Analysis Pipeline and BD Rhapsody™ WTA Analysis Pipeline Released:
- Fixed issue with cell label detection on reads from TCR/BCR, when TCR/BCR libraries were combined with other library types (WTA, Targeted, AbSeq) in a single sequencing index
- Fixed issue with processing FASTQ files whose filenames end in “fq.gz”
- v1.10 BD Rhapsody™ Targeted Analysis Pipeline and BD Rhapsody™ WTA Analysis Pipeline Released:
-
Updated VDJ pipeline with support for full-length contig assembly, improved performance, new metrics, and new output files containing contig sequences
- Added support for Rhapsody Enhanced Beads, with automatic bead version detection
- Added option to call putative cells based on AbSeq read counts (for troubleshooting only)
- Added “Alignment Categories” section to metric summary which provides a breakdown of the types of alignments seen for each library
- Added separate metric summary files for each sample tag for experiments using BD Single-Cell Multiplexing kits
- Renamed various metrics in outputs to reflect multi-omics nature of data (Target Type → Bioproduct_Type, Gene/Target → Bioproduct)
- Added Pct_Read_Pair_Overlap and Median Reads Per cell metric to metric summary
- Improved support for larger runs on SBG
- Optimized pipeline metadata handling
- Improved checking of reference files
-
- v1.9.1 of the BD Rhapsody™ Analysis Pipeline for improved WTA Analysis Released:
- Improved putative cell calling algorithm to reduce overcalling of putative cells in high cell input experiments
- Updated alignment settings to improve AbSeq mapping when R2 read length is greater than 75 bases
- v1.9 BD Rhapsody™ Targeted Analysis Pipeline and BD Rhapsody™ WTA Analysis Pipeline Released:
- Improved FASTQ file pairing - filenames are flexible and pairing is now based on read sequence identifier
- Optimized pipeline in various steps for memory and storage usage
- Fixed bugs related to Sample Multiplexing Kit noise and DBEC mean molecule metric
- BD Rhapsody™ Targeted Analysis Pipeline:
- Support for BD Rhapsody™ VDJ CDR3 protocol
- Read and molecule counts for targets from same gene symbol are combined in the output tables
- Updated Bowtie2 alignment parameters for improved sensitivity
- BD Rhapsody™ WTA Analysis Pipeline:
- Updated Pct_Cellular Metrics calculations to match Bioinformatics handbook descriptions
- Added support for supplemental reference fasta files, which allow alignment to transgenes, like viral RNA or GFP
- Updated STAR alignment parameters for improved sensitivity
