       # Quick Start

       ## Importer

       ### From Bam files to GFF3

       ` git clone mirtop cd mirtop/data `

       You can use the example data. Here the reads have been mapped to the precursor sequences.

       ` mirtop gff -sps hsa --hairpin examples/annotate/hairpin.fa --gtf examples/annotate/hsa.gff3 -o test_out
       sim_isomir.bam `

       ### From seqbuster::miraligner files to GFF3

       miRNA annotation generated from [miraligner](https://github.com/lpantano/seqbuster) tool:

       `   mirtop   gff   --format   seqbuster   --sps   hsa   --hairpin   examples/annotate/hairpin.fa    --gtf
       examples/annotate/hsa.gff3 -o test_out examples/seqbuster/reads.mirna `

       ### From sRNAbench files to GFF3

       miRNA annotation generated from [sRNAbench](http://bioinfo2.ugr.es:8080/ceUGR/srnabench/) tool:

       `    mirtop    gff   --format   sranbench   -sps   hsa   --hairpin   examples/annotate/hairpin.fa   --gtf
       examples/annotate/hsa.gff3 -o test_out srnabench examples/srnabench `

       ### From PROST! files to GFF3

       miRNA annotation generated from [PROST!]() tool. Export isomiRs tab from excel file  to  a  tabular  text
       format file.

       `    mirtop    gff    --format    prost    -sps   hsa   --hairpin    examples/annotate/hairpin.fa   --gtf
       examples/annotate/hsa.gff3 -o test_out examples/prost/prost.example.txt `

       ### From isomiR-SEA files to GFF3

       miRNA annotation generated from [isomiR-SEA]() tool.

       ` mirtop validate examples/gff/correct_file.gff `

       ## Operations

       ### Validator

       To validate your mirGFF3 file and make sure if follows the current format:

       `   mirtop   gff   --format   isomirsea   -sps   hsa   --hairpin    examples/annotate/hairpin.fa    --gtf
       examples/annotate/hsa.gff3 -o  test_out examples/isomir-sea/tagMir-all.gff `

       ### Get statistics from GFF

       Get number of isomiRs and miRNAs annotated in the GFF file by isomiR category.

       ` cd mirtop/data mirtop stats -o test_out example/gff/correct_file.gff `

       ### Compare GFF file with reference

       Compare the sequences from two or more GFF files. The first one will be used as the reference data.

       ` cd mirtop/data mirtop compare -o test_out example/gff/correct_file.gff example/gff/alternative.gff `

       ### Updates mirGFF3

       Updates older versions with the most current one.

       ` cd mirtop/data mirtop update -o test_out_mirs examples/versions/version1.0.gff `

       ## Export

       ### Export file to isomiRs format

       To   be   compatible   with   [isomiRs](https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/isomiRs.html)
       bioconductor package use:

       `  cd  mirtop/data  mirtop  export  -o   test_out_mirs   --hairpin   examples/annotate/hairpin.fa   --gtf
       examples/annotate/hsa.gff3 examples/gff correct_file.gff `

       ### Export file to FASTA format

       `    cd    mirtop/data    mirtop    export   -o   test_out_mirs   --format   fasta   -d   -vd   --hairpin
       examples/annotate/hairpin.fa --gtf examples/annotate/hsa.gff3 examples/gff/correct_file.gff `

       ### Export file to VCF format

       ` cd mirtop/data mirtop export -o test_out_mirs --format vcf --hairpin examples/annotate/hairpin.fa --gtf
       examples/a nnotate/hsa.gff3 examples/gff/correct_file.gff `

       ### Get count file

       This  file  it  is  useful  to  load  into  R as a matrix. It contains the minimal information about each
       sequence and the count data in columns for each samples.

       `  cd  mirtop/data  mirtop  counts  -o   test_out_mirs   --hairpin   examples/annotate/hairpin.fa   --gtf
       examples/annotate/hsa.gff3 examples/synthetic/let7a-5p.gtf ` # Output

       ## GFF command

       The  mirtop  gff  generates  the GFF3 adapter format to capture miRNA variations. The output is explained
       [here](https://github.com/miRTop/incubator/blob/master/format/definition.md).

       ## Stats command

       The mirtop stats generates a table with different statistics for each type of isomiRs:

       • total counts

       • average counts

       • total sequences

       It generates as well a JSON file with the same information to be integrated easily  with  QC  tools  like
       [MultiQC](https://multiqc.info/).

       ## Compare command

       The  mirtop  compare generates a tabular file with information about the difference and similarities. The
       first file in the command line will be considered the reference and the following files will be  compared
       to the reference. Each line of the output has the following information for each file:

       • sample

       • idu

       • seq

       • tag: E if not in reference, D detected in both, M missing in target file

       • same_mirna: if the sequence map to the same miRNA in the reference and target file

       • one column for each isomiR type with the following tags: FP (variation not in reference), TP (variation
         in both), FN (variation not in target file)

       ## Counts command

       The mirtop counts generates a tabular file with the following columns:

       • unique identifier

       • read sequence

       • miRNA name

       • Variant attribute from GFF3 column

       • One column for each isomiR type showing the exact variation

       • One column for each sample with the counts for that sequence

       ## Export command

       The mirtop export generates different files from a mirGFF3 file:

       • [isomiRs](https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/isomiRs.html) compatible files

       • [FASTA files](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTA_format)

       • [VCF files](https://samtools.github.io/hts-specs/VCFv4.2.pdf)

       # Examples of contributions

       ## How to add a new sub-command

       You need first to clone and install the tool in [develop mode](installation.html)

       Let's say that you want to add a new operation to mirtop, for instance, similar to the stats  command  to
       work  with  sGFF3  files.  Assume  a test function for this example to just read the file and print Hello
       GFF3.

       • Create the folder inside mirtop/test. The create to empty files named:

          • test.py__init__.py

       • Modify the test.py file with this content:

       ``
       ` from mirtop.gff.body import read_gff_line

       import mirtop.libs.logger as mylog logger = mylog.getLogger(__name__)

       def test(args):

              for fn in args.files:
                     _test(fn) logger.info("Hello GFF3: %s" % fn)

       def _test(fn):
              logger.debug("I am going to read this file: %s" % fn) for line in fn:
                 read_gff_line(line)

       ``

       `

       • Choose a sub_command name, in this case: test.

       • Add      the      arguments       function       at       the       end       of       this       file:
         https://github.com/miRTop/mirtop/blob/dev/mirtop/libs/parse.py,     using     a     naming    following
         add_subparser_test.

       ``
       ` def add_subparser_test(subparsers):
          parser = subparsers.add_parser("test", help="test function")  parser.add_argument("files",  nargs="*",
          help="GFF/GTF files.") parser = _add_debug_option(parser) return parser

       ``

       `

       • Add the function name to parse_cl function, at the end of the sub_cmds array.

       ``

              `

              sub_cmds = {"gff": add_subparser_gff,
                     "stats":      add_subparser_stats,      "compare":     add_subparser_compare,     "target":
                     add_subparser_target, "simulator": add_subparser_simulator, "counts": add_subparser_counts,
                     "export": add_subparser_export, "test": add_subparser_test }

       ``

       `

       • To  get the function re-directed from the command line when you use the sub_cmd name, add a line to the
         command_line.py file, adding another else statement:

       ``

              `

              elif "test" in kwargs: logger.info("Run test.") test(kwargs["args"])

       ``

       `

       • The function you use to link to the operation added need to be imported at  the  beginning.  Let's  say
         that the test function is at mirtop/test/test.py:

       ` from mirtop.test import test `

       Try the new operation:

       ` mirtop test data/examples/correct_file.gff `

       ## Add a unit test

       ## for the internal function

       Add to the end of test/test_functions.py, but inside class FunctionsTest(unittest.TestCase): this code:

       ``

              `

              @attr(fn_test=True) def test_function_test(self):
                 from mirtop import test test._test("data/examples/gff/correct_file.gff")

       ``

       `

       ## for the sub-command

       Add  to the end of test/test_function.py, but inside class AutomatedAnalysisTest(unittest.TestCase): this
       code:

       ``

              `

              @attr(cmd_test=True) def test_srnaseq_annotation_bam(self):
                 """Run test analysis """ with make_workdir():

                     clcode = ["mirtop",
                            "test", "../../data/examples/gff/correct_file.gff"]

                     print("") print(" ".join(clcode)) subprocess.check_call(clcode)

       ``

       `

       ## test the unit

       nose is needed: pip install nose

       Run the function test from the top parent folder:

       ` ./run_test.sh fn_test `

       Run the command test from the top parent folder:

       ` ./run_test.sh cmd_test `
