What can AGAT do for you?

AGAT has the power to check, fix, pad missing information (features/attributes) of any kind of GTF and GFF to create complete, sorted and standardised gff3 format. Over the years it has been enriched by many many tools to perform just about any tasks that is possible related to GTF/GFF format files (sanitizing, conversions, merging, modifying, filtering, FASTA sequence extraction, adding information, etc). Comparing to other methods AGAT is robust to even the most despicable GTF/GFF files.

  • Standardize/sanitize any GTF/GFF file into a comprehensive GFF3 format (script with _sp_ prefix)

    See standardization/sanitization tool
    task tool
    check, fix, pad missing information into sorted and standardised gff3 agat_convert_sp_gxf2gxf.pl
    • add missing parent features (e.g. gene and mRNA if only CDS/exon exists).
    • add missing features (e.g. exon and UTR).
    • add missing mandatory attributes (i.e. ID, Parent).
    • fix identifiers to be uniq.
    • fix feature locations.
    • remove duplicated features.
    • group related features (if spread in different places in the file).
    • sort features (tabix optional).
    • merge overlapping loci into one single locus (only if option activated).
  • Convert many formats

About the GTF/GFF fromat
The GTF/GFF formats are 9-column text formats used to describe and represent genomic features. The formats have quite evolved since 1997, and despite well-defined specifications existing nowadays they have a great flexibility allowing holding wide variety of information. This flexibility has a drawback aspect, there is an incredible amount of flavour of the formats, that can result in problems when using downstream programs.
For a complete overview of the GTF/GFF formats have a look here.

Installation

Using Docker

See details

First you must have Docker installed and running.
Secondly have look at the availabe AGAT biocontainers at quay.io.

Then:

# get the chosen AGAT container version
docker pull quay.io/biocontainers/agat:0.8.0--pl5262hdfd78af_0
# use an AGAT's tool e.g. agat_convert_sp_gxf2gxf.pl
docker run quay.io/biocontainers/agat:0.8.0--pl5262hdfd78af_0 agat_convert_sp_gxf2gxf.pl --help

List of tools

As AGAT is a toolkit, it contains a lot of tools. The main one is agat_convert_sp_gxf2gxf.pl that allows to check, fix, pad missing information (features/attributes) of any kind of gtf and gff to create complete, sorted and standardised gff3 format. All the installed scripts have the agat_ prefix.

To have a look to the available tools you have several approaches:

  • agat --tools
  • Typing agat_ in your terminal followed by the key to activate the autocompletion will display the complete list of available tools.
  • The documentation.

More about the tools

with _sp_ prefix => Means SLURP

The gff file will be charged in memory in a specific data structure facilitating the access to desired features at any time. It has a memory cost but make life smoother. Indeed, it allows to perform complicated tasks in a more time efficient way. Moreover, it allows to fix all potential errors in the limit of the possibilities given by the format itself. See the AGAT parser section for more information about it.

with _sq_ prefix => Means SEQUENTIAL

The gff file is read and processed from its top to the end line by line without sanity check (e.g. relationship between the features). This is memory efficient.

The AGAT parser - Standardisation to create GXF files compliant to any tool

All tools with agat_sp_ prefix will parse and slurps the entire data into a specific data structure. Below you will find more information about peculiarity of the data structure, and the parsing approach used.

the data structure

See data structure details

The method create a hash structure containing all the data in memory. We can call it OMNISCIENT. The OMNISCIENT hold the GFF/GTF header information in that structure:

$omniscient{other}{header} = header information from the beginning of the file starting by # 

The OMNISCIENT hold the GFF/GTF feature information in that structure:

$omniscient{level1}{tag_l1}{level1_id} = feature <= tag could be gene, match  
$omniscient{level2}{tag_l2}{idY} = @featureListL2 <= tag could be mRNA,rRNA,tRNA,etc. idY is a level1_id (know as Parent attribute within the level2 feature). The @featureListL2 is a list to be able to manage isoform cases.  
$omniscient{level3}{tag_l3}{idZ} =  @featureListL3 <= tag could be exon,cds,utr3,utr5,etc. idZ is the ID of a level2 feature (know as Parent attribute within the level3 feature). The @featureListL3 is a list to be able to put all the feature of a same tag together.  

The OMNISCIENT hold the agat_config.yml information in that structure:

$omniscient{config}{parameter1} = value parameter1
$omniscient{config}{parameter2} = value parameter2

The OMNISCIENT hold the feature_levels.yaml information in that structure:

$omniscient{other}{level}{level1}{featureTypeX} = value featureTypeX (standalone, topfeature)
$omniscient{other}{level}{level2}{featureTypeY} = value featureTypeY 
$omniscient{other}{level}{level2}{featureTypeZ} = value featureTypeZ

How does the AGAT parser work

The AGAT parser phylosophy:

    1. Parse by Parent/child relationship or gene_id/transcript_id relationship.
    1. ELSE Parse by a common tag (an attribute value shared by feature that must be grouped together. By default we are using locus_tag but can be set by parameter).
    1. ELSE Parse sequentially (mean group features in a bucket, and the bucket change at each level2 feature, and bucket are join in a common tag at each new L1 feature).

/!\ Cases with only level3 features (i.e rast or some prokka files), sequential parsing may not work as expected if Parent/ID gene_id/transcript_id attributes are missing. Indeed all features will be the child of only one newly created Parent. To create a parent per feature or group of features, a common tag must be used to group them correctly (by default gene_id and locus_tag but you can set up the ones of your choice)

To resume by priority of way to parse: Parent/child relationship > locus_tag > sequential.
The parser may used only one or a mix of these approaches according of the peculiarity of the gtf/gff file you provide.

What can the AGAT parser do for you

  • It creates missing parental features. (e.g if a level2 or level3 feature do not have parental feature(s) we create the missing level2 and/or level1 feature(s)).
  • It creates missing mandatory attributes (ID and/or Parent).
  • It fixes identifier to be uniq.
  • It removes duplicated features (same position, same ID, same Parent).
  • It expands level3 features sharing multiple parents (e.g if one exon has list of multiple parent mRNA in its Parent attribute, one exon per parent with uniq ID will be created.
  • It fixes feature location errors (e.g an mRNA spanning over its gene location, we fix the gene location).
  • It adds UTR if possible (CDS and exon present).
  • It adds exon if possible (CDS has to be present).
  • It groups features together (if related features are spread at different places in the file).

examples

AGAT was tested on 42 different types of GTF/GFF of different flavours or/and containing errors. Below few are listed but you can find the full list of them into the t/gff_syntax directory.
