Package for genome graphics?

Specific Domains Biology, Health, and Medicine
1

Are there any graphing capabilities in Julia 1.x specifically for genomics (“genome graphs”), for example a genome viewer?

Ben Ward illustrated the Julia package GenomeBrowsers in his presentation at JuliaCon 2018. It has not been tested on Julia 1.x so perhaps it is unmaintained? I was unable to install it on Julia 1.1:

(v1.1) pkg> add GenomeBrowsers
  Updating registry at `C:\Users\aalexandersson\.julia\registries\General`
  Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * GenomeBrowsers (not found in project, manifest or registry)
Please specify by known `name=uuid`.

The most promising package I found is the Python package genomeview. There are Python (3.3 or higher) installation instructions. There is a bioRxiv preprint paper. The package is downloadable from PyPi. I assume Julia 1.x could call the Python package (when it is installed) but I have not tried it.

Hi Alex. Ben will be along in a moment I am sure.
One note though - you can add unregistered packages for development and test. You can also add specific git branches too.

add https://github.com/BioJulia/GenomeBrowsers.jl #master

However you are correct - GenomeBrowsers has a dependency on HttpParser which cannot be satisfied.
Over to Ben!

Hi everyone,

Alex, yes you could use PyCall with genomeview, that would probably work. I don’t think GenomeBrowsers has a proper release yet, mostly because we haven’t settled on a system for doing visualisation with BioJulia… Will we use custom plots recipes? Makie? Will we wrap JS elements up with WebIO? all of these things? How will the functionality be organised? So it’s really a stand alone example of how an existing JS project can be integrated with BioJulia. But you should still be able to install it as John points out, so I will have to have a look at why HttpParser was not updated, or what do do about it, perhaps there is a HttpParser replacement GenomeBrowsers could use instead.

Thank you, John and Ben.

I can install the genomeview dependency pyBigWig in Linux (but not in Windows), with these commands:

using PyCall
using Conda
Conda.add_channel("Bioconda")
Conda.add("pyBigWig") # Windows produces error "failed process"

I am unable to use PyCall with genomeview because genomeview is a PyPi package, see Conda issue 50.

Please share if you come up with a Julia 1.x solution for genome graphics – whether the Python package genomeview or the Julia package GenomeBrowsers or something else.

https://github.com/orangeSi/ClustersPloter this is not a package, just a tool to plot genome features(gene or reads or other) by perl.

If you haven’t installed anything important in Conda.jl’s environment and you are ready to wipe it off whenever something bad happens [1], you can try:

using PyCall
run(`$(PyCall.pyprogramname) -m pip install genomeview`)

as I noted in the issue you linked.

  1. There is also experimental conda-pip interop. Anaconda | Conda 4.6 Release ↩︎

I happen to have something related to this! I’ve quickly added an example and some documentation and made the repository public:

I’ve been developing this entirely to suit my own needs until now so it might not have the functionalities you are looking for, but over time I’m hoping to make it more general. Feel free to ask, or add it yourself, if you miss anything.

Thank you. What exactly do you suggest to type and run? I am a Julia beginner, so I most likely made at least one beginner’s mistake somewhere. I have a PC with Windows and a laptop with Linux. If I first run

module Pip

as you commented in the Conda issue 50 the result is the same error on both computers:

syntax: incomplete: premature end of input

Then, when I run

using PyCall
run(`$(PyCall.pyprogramname) -m pip install genomeview`)

I get two different error messages. I get this very verbose error message on my Windows machine:

module Pip code is a proposal to add this in PyCall.jl. If you want to use it right now, run(`$(PyCall.pyprogramname) -m pip install ...`) is the way to go (where ... part is replaced with appropriate options or arguments).

In Windows it fails while installing pysam. Reading https://github.com/pysam-developers/pysam, it looks like you can install it via conda. If you are using conda environment, it’s always good to install dependencies using conda as much as possible.

In Linux, it looks like you don’t have pip. If you didn’t do any customization, PyCall.pyprogramname should be a path to the system’s Python like "/usr/bin/python3". If that’s the case, install pip for Python 3 using system’s package manager (e.g., in Ubuntu sudo apt-get install python3-pip). After that’s done, you need to invoke pip install with --user; i.e., run(`$(PyCall.pyprogramname) -m pip install --user genomeview`).

Note that all of these are pip usage questions, not Julia questions. We are just invoking command line program with Julia’s run function. You can println(`$(PyCall.pyprogramname) -m pip install ...`), copy-and-paste whatever printed in bash or whatever the system shell you are using, and then execute it outside Julia. You can then ask questions about these commands to the authors of the Python packages.

Thank you @orange_si, @tkf, @kdyrhage for your additional help.

pysam does not install on Windows, see pysam issue 575.

My Linux distro is Linux Lite. I could install pip with this Linux command:
sudo apt install python3-pip

Then, I upgraded pip from v8.1 to the latest 19.0.2 at the Linux command prompt:
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip

Then, the Julia installation (on Linux) of genomeview installs in a couple of minutes:

julia> run(`$(PyCall.pyprogramname) -m pip install --user genomeview`)

Thanks for the mini-lesson in Python!

I mark your reply as solving the problem because 1) I could install your new package GenomicMaps fairly easily on both Windows and Linux, and 2) it is a Julia package. In the future, these two additional features would be nice to have:

  1. A “copy-paste” reproducible example (including a required annotation file in Genbank format)
  2. A more summarized way than hoovering to see the annotations, perhaps by implementing a slider like in GenomeBrowsers.

The example should now be runnable on master.

Regarding the second point: an interactive version would be great, but that is very low on my todo-list for the time being. I plan on adding more plotting modes, though, to be able to display multiple genomes and show homology for example.

I’m glad that it works in Linux! Bummer that Windows is not supported…
