parsnp: efficient microbial core genome alignment and SNP detection

Parsnp is a command-line-tool for efficient microbial core genome alignment and SNP detection. Parsnp was designed to work in tandem with Gingr, a flexible platform for visualizing genome alignments and phylogenetic trees

Interactive job
Interactive jobs should be used for debugging, graphics, or applications that cannot be run as batch jobs.

Allocate an interactive session and run the program. Sample session:

[user@biowulf]$ sinteractive --mem=16g --cpus-per-task=16
[user@cn3335 ~]$module load parsnp 
[+] Loading singularity  3.10.3  on cn3335
[+] Loading parsnp 1.7.4  ...
user@cn3335 ~]$ parsnp -h 
|--Parsnp v1.2--|

usage: parsnp [options] [-g|-r|-q](see below) -d <genome_dir> -p <threads>

Parsnp quick start for three example scenarios:
1) With reference & genbank file:
 >parsnp -g <reference_genbank_file1,reference_genbank_file2,..> -d <genome_dir> -p <threads>

2) With reference but without genbank file:
 >parsnp -r <reference_genome> -d <genome_dir> -p <threads>

3) Autorecruit reference to a draft assembly:
 >parsnp -q <draft_assembly> -d <genome_db> -p <threads>

[Input parameters]
<<input/output>>
 -c = <flag>: (c)urated genome directory, use all genomes in dir and ignore MUMi? (default = NO)
 -d = <path>: (d)irectory containing genomes/contigs/scaffolds
 -r = <path>: (r)eference genome (set to ! to pick random one from genome dir)
 -g = <string>: Gen(b)ank file(s) (gbk), comma separated list (default = None)
 -o = <string>: output directory? default [./P_CURRDATE_CURRTIME]
 -q = <path>: (optional) specify (assembled) query genome to use, in addition to genomes found in genome dir (default = NONE)

<<MUMi>>
 -U = <float>: max MUMi distance value for MUMi distribution
 -M = <flag>: calculate MUMi and exit? overrides all other choices! (default: NO)
 -i = <float>: max MUM(i) distance (default: autocutoff based on distribution of MUMi values)

<<MUM search>>
 -a = <int>: min (a)NCHOR length (default = 1.1*Log(S))
 -C = <int>: maximal cluster D value? (default=100)
 -z = <path>: min LCB si(z)e? (default = 25)

<<LCB alignment>>
 -D = <float>: maximal diagonal difference? Either percentage (e.g. 0.2) or bp (e.g. 100bp) (default = 0.12)
 -e = <flag> greedily extend LCBs? experimental! (default = NO)
 -n = <string>: alignment program (default: libMUSCLE)
 -u = <flag>: output unaligned regions? .unaligned (default: NO)

<<Recombination filtration>>
 -x = <flag>: enable filtering of SNPs located in PhiPack identified regions of recombination? (default: NO)

<<Misc>>
 -h = <flag>: (h)elp: print this message and exit
 -p = <int>: number of threads to use? (default= 1)
 -P = <int>: max partition size? limits memory usage (default= 15000000)
 -v = <flag>: (v)erbose output? (default = NO)
 -V = <flag>: output (V)ersion and exit
