bxtools is a set of light-weight command line tools for analyzing 10X genomics data. It is built to take care of low-level type operations in a 10X-specific way by accounting for the BX tag in 10X data.
Split a BAM file by the BX tag.
## split a BAM into individual BAMs (called test.<bx>.bam). Don't output tags with < 10 reads
bxtools split $bam -a test -m 10 > counts.tsv
## split a portion of a BAM
samtools view -h $bam 1:1,000,000-2,000,000 | bxtools split - -a test > counts.tsv
## just get the BX counts and sort by prevalence
bxtools split $bam -x | sort -n -k 2,2 > counts.tsv
Collect BX-level statistics from a 10X BAM
bxtools stats $bam > stats.tsv
## output columns: BX, read count, median insert size, median mapq, median AS.
To summarize based on another tag, use -t
. E.g. : bxtools stats -t MI $bam
Collect BX-level read counts on a tiled genome
## default is 1kb tiles, across entire genome
bxtools tile $bam > counts.bed
## input bed to check (e.g. chr1 only)
samtools view -h $bam 1:1-250,000,000 | bxtools tile - -b chr1.tiles.bed > chr1.tiles.counts.bed
Move the BX barcodes from the BX
tag (e.g. BX:ACTTACCGA
) to the read name (e.g. qname_ACTTACCGA
)
VERBOSE=-v ## print progress
bxtools relabel $bam $VERBOSE > relabeled.bam
Get the minimum molecular footprint on the genome as BED file for each MI tag. The minimal footprint is defined from the minimum start position to the maximum end position of all reads sharing an MI tag. Throws an error message if detects the same MI tag on multiple chromosomes.
The output BED format is chr, start, end, MI, BX, read_count
bxtools mol $bam > mol_footprint.bed
Switch the alignment chromosome with the BX tag. This is a hack to allow a 10X BAM to be sorted and indexed by BX tag, rather than coordinate.
Useful for rapid lookup of all BX reads from a particular BX. Note that this switches "-" for "_" to make query possible with samtools view
.
This also requires a two-pass solution. The first loop is to get all of the unique BX tags to build the new BAM header. The second makes the switches.
This means that streaming from stdin
is not available.
bxtools convert $bam | samtools sort - -o bx_sorted.bam
samtools index bx_sorted.bam
samtools view AGTCCAAGTCGGAAGT_1
## make a list of bad tags (freq < 100)
samtools view -h $bam 1:1-10,000,000 | bxtools split - -x | awk '$2 < 100' | cut -f1 > excluded_list.txt
## get the coverage, while excluding bad tags (grep: -F literal, -f file, -v exclude)
samtools view -h $bam 1:1-10,000,000 | grep -v -F -f excluded_list.txt | bxtools tile - -w 2000 > bxcov.bed
