medRxiv 2023.06.15.23290026; doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.06.15.23290026The software is available onpipand the github repo is availablehere.The 144 ancient simulated DNA samples, together with the folderresultscontaining the pre-computed results of runing HAPI on them, can be foundhereby downloading the fileaDNA_simulated_paper.zip. The other files contain the alignments of real ancient genomes to the CCR5 region, and the user can also run HAPI on them to replicate our results.After unzipping the file, HAPI can be installed and run with the following commands:# We recommend to create a virtual environment with e.g. conda
conda create -n hapi_env
conda activate hapi_env

# Install pip in the conda environment
conda install pip

# Locate the path where pip got installed in the conda environment
conda env list

# Install HAPI using the pip file of the conda environment to install it in the environment
/path/to/hapi_env/bin/pip install hapi-pyth

# Alternatively, HAPI can be installed locally simply with
pip install hapi-pyth

# Create folder where to store the results
mkdir results

# The option --length-threshold X can be used to keep only the reads shorter than the X value. Here we don't do any filter and we set to 1000. Since all reads are shorter than 1000, no read will be filtered out.HAPI will output several files in the results folder. The most important file isresults.tsv, which is a table containing the prediction for each sample run.* Sample: sample ID
* pRR_Data_n: Posterior probability of a sample being homozygous for the reference sequence, given the Data
* pRD_Data_n: Posterior probability of a sample being heterozygous for CCR5delta32, given the Data
* pDD_Data_n: Posterior probability of a sample being homozygous for CCR5delta32, given the Data
* N_reads_ref: Number of reads mapping to the reference sequence in the canonical reference
* N_reads_del: Number of reads mapping to the CCR5delta32 sequence in the collapsed reference
* Min_over_ref: List containing the minimum overlapping length of each read mapping to the canonical reference
* Min_over_del: List containing the minimum overlapping length of each read mapping to the collapsed reference
* Lengths_ref: List containing the length of each reads mapping to the canonical reference
* Lengths_del: List containing the length of each reads mapping to the collapsed reference
* Coverage_ref: Average coverage of reference SNPs for the four variants in the canonical reference
* Coverage_alt: Average coverage of alternate SNPs for the four variants in the canonical reference
* p_RR: Posterior probability of a sample having each of the top 4 variants in the SNP genotype ref|ref
* p_RA: Posterior probability of a sample having each of the top 4 variants in the SNP genotype ref|alt
* p_AA: Posterior probability of a sample having each of the top 4 variants in the SNP genotype alt|alt
* pData_RR: likelihood of the Data, given that the sample is homozygous for the reference sequence. Calculated as the joint likelihood from the alignments to the two references
* pData_RD: likelihood of the Data, given that the sample is heterozygous for CCR5delta32. Calculated as the joint likelihood from the alignments to the two references
* pData_DD: likelihood of the Data, given that the sample is homozygous for CCR5delta32. Calculated as the joint likelihood from the alignments to the two references
* pD_norm: marginal likelihood (denominator of the equation)
* pRR_Data_r: Posterior probability of a sample being homozygous for the reference sequence, given the random (uniform) haplotype
* pRD_Data_r: Posterior probability of a sample being heterozygous for CCR5delta32, given the random (uniform) haplotype
* pDD_Data_r: Posterior probability of a sample being homozygous for CCR5delta32, given the random (uniform) haplotype
* N_reads_mapping_both: Number of reads mapping both the canonical and the collapsed references
* SNP_1_rs113341849: Number of ALT alleles called for SNP 1
* SNP_2_rs113010081: Number of ALT alleles called for SNP 2
* SNP_3_rs11574435: Number of ALT alleles called for SNP 3
* SNP_4_rs79815064: Number of ALT alleles called for SNP 4The filesettings.tsvcontains the options used when the HAPI analysis got run, and is useful for reproducibility purposesThe fileall_reads_mapping.tsvcontain all the reads mapping to either the canonical and the collapsed reference.The filereads_assigned_ref.tsvandreads_assigned_del.tsvcontain the list of reads assigned to the canonical and collapsed reference, respectively, according to the minimum overlapping length option. This means that these two files will contain less reads than the previous one, i.e. only those that were assigned to the references, not merely all the reads mapping.The folderprob_dfscontains, for each sample, the calls of each of the top 4 variants, together with how many calls, and the values of the probabilities for each variantPlease note that in its current state, HAPI can identify only the CCR5delta32 deletion. This is for two reasons:The CCR5delta32 deletion has 4 equivalent representations, each with its own coordinates (click here for details). HAPI was developed with these 4 different sets of coordinates in mind. Another deletion of interest might have only one representation or a set of different onesHAPI uses the information from the top 4 tag variants in high LD with the CCR5delta32 as Prior. Another deletion of interest might not have known tag variantsTherefore, one could potentially extend HAPI to identify other deletions if they have information about tag variants in high LD with them, and adapting the code regarding the deletion coordinates.For more details about HAPI, please refer to the pre-print references above.
