## Challenging aspects
### Challenging aspects in above code
1. **Efficient Handling of Large Files**: The code must efficiently handle potentially large BAM files without running out of memory or taking excessive time.
2. **Correct Interpretation of Coverage Data**: Understanding how `bam.count_coverage()` works (it returns coverage counts at each position across all bases) is crucial since it returns a tuple with four arrays (one per base).
3. **Aggregation Across Multiple Bases**: Aggregating statistics like mean, median, max across multiple bases adds complexity because each base might have different coverage statistics.
4. **Edge Cases**: Handling edge cases such as empty BAM files or BAM files with no mapped reads.
5. **Data Type Consistency**: Ensuring that operations like mean(), median(), max() are applied correctly considering they may produce different types (e.g., floats vs integers).
### Extension
1. **Strand-specific Coverage**: Calculate coverage statistics separately for forward (+) and reverse (-) strands.
2. **Region-specific Coverage**: Allow users to specify regions within the genome (e.g., chromosomes or specific coordinates) for which coverage statistics should be computed.
3. **Filtering by Mapping Quality**: Incorporate filtering based on mapping quality scores before computing coverage statistics.
4. **Handling Paired-end Reads**: Account for paired-end reads differently if needed (e.g., ensuring both reads in a pair are considered together).
5. **Coverage per Base Type**: Compute separate statistics per base type (A, T, C, G).
## Exercise
### Problem Statement
You are tasked with extending the [SNIPPET] function `get_coverage` into a more advanced version called `get_detailed_coverage`. This function should calculate detailed coverage statistics from a BAM file using pysam library while incorporating several additional features:
1. **Strand-specific Coverage**: Calculate separate coverage statistics (mean, median, max) for forward (+) and reverse (-) strands.
2. **Region-specific Coverage**: Allow users to specify regions within the genome (e.g., chromosome names or specific coordinates) as input parameters.
3. **Filtering by Mapping Quality**: Include an optional parameter to filter reads based on their mapping quality before calculating coverage statistics.
4. **Coverage per Base Type**: Compute separate statistics (mean, median, max) for each base type (A, T, C, G).
### Requirements
1. Implement `get_detailed_coverage` function based on [SNIPPET].
2. Ensure efficient handling of large BAM files without excessive memory usage or processing time.
3. Provide meaningful error messages for edge cases such as invalid region specifications or empty BAM files.
4. Write unit tests covering various scenarios including but not limited to:
- Empty BAM files.
- BAM files with no mapped reads.
- Specified regions outside reference genome bounds.
### Function Signature
python
def get_detailed_coverage(bamfile: str,
regions: Optional[List[str]] = None,
min_mapping_quality: int = None) -> Dict[str, Dict[str, float]]:
## Solution
python
import pysam
import numpy as np
def get_detailed_coverage(bamfile: str,
regions: Optional[List[str]] = None,
min_mapping_quality: int = None) -> Dict[str, Dict[str, float]]:
def calculate_stats(coverage):
return {
'mean': np.mean(coverage),
'median': np.median(coverage),
'max': np.max(coverage)
}
bam = pysam.AlignmentFile(bamfile)
if regions:
iterator = bam.fetch(region=regions)
else:
iterator = bam.fetch()
cov_data = {
'forward': {'A': [], 'T': [], 'C': [], 'G': []},
'reverse': {'A': [], 'T': [], 'C': [], 'G': []}
}
for read in iterator:
if min_mapping_quality is not None and read.mapping_quality < min_mapping_quality:
continue
strand = '-' if read.is_reverse else '+'
bases = ['A', 'T', 'C', 'G']
coverage = bam.count_coverage(read.reference_name,
start=read.reference_start,
stop=read.reference_end)
for i in range(len(bases)):
cov_data[strand][bases[i]].extend(coverage[i][read.reference_start:read.reference_end])
bam.close()
detailed_cov_stats = {}
for strand in ['forward', 'reverse']:
detailed_cov_stats[strand] = {}
for base in ['A', 'T', 'C', 'G']:
stats = calculate_stats(cov_data[strand][base])
detailed_cov_stats[strand][base] = stats
# Also aggregate all bases together per strand
if base == 'G':
all_bases_cov = sum(cov_data[strand][b] for b in bases)
detailed_cov_stats[strand]['all'] = calculate_stats(all_bases_cov)
return detailed_cov_stats
# Unit tests can be implemented using pytest or unittest frameworks
# Here is an example test case using pytest:
def test_empty_bam():
empty_bam_path = "path/to/empty.bam"
result = get_detailed_coverage(empty_bam_path)
assert result == {
'forward': {'A': {'mean': np.nan,'median': np.nan,'max': np.nan},
'T': {'mean': np.nan,'median': np.nan,'max': np.nan},
'C': {'mean': np.nan,'median': np.nan,'max': np.nan},
'G': {'mean': np.nan,'median': np.nan,'max': np.nan},
'all':{'mean':np.nan,'median':np.nan,'max':np.nan}
},
'reverse': {'A':{'mean':np.nan,'median':np.nan,'max':np.nan},
'T':{'mean':np.nan,'median':np.nan,'max':np.nan},
'C':{'mean':np.nan,'median':np.nan,'max':np.nan},
'G':{'mean':np.nan,'median':np.nan,'max':np.nan},
'all':{'mean':np.nan,'median':np.nan,'max':np.nan}
}
}
# Additional test cases would be added here...
## Follow-up exercise
### Problem Statement
Modify `get_detailed_coverage` so that it can handle paired-end reads properly by ensuring both reads in a pair are considered together when calculating coverage statistics.
Additionally:
1. Implement multi-threaded processing where different regions specified can be processed in parallel threads.
2. Add logging functionality to log progress at regular intervals when processing large BAM files.
### Solution Outline
1. Update `get_detailed_coverage` function signature to include paired-end handling.
2. Use Python’s threading library or concurrent.futures module to implement multi-threaded processing.
3. Integrate Python’s logging module for progress logging.
python
import pysam
import numpy as np
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
def get_detailed_coverage(bamfile: str,
regions: Optional[List[str]] = None,
min_mapping_quality: int = None,
paired_end=False) -> Dict[str, Dict[str, float]]:
...
def process_region(region):
...
# Logic similar to above but specific region processing
def main():
...
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4) as executor:
futures = [executor.submit(process_region(region)) for region in regions]
results = [f.result() for f in futures]
...
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
This outline provides a framework upon which further details can be built according to specific requirements related to paired-end handling and logging details.
