Sequences of each reference genome should be saved in separate FASTA/Q files, with reference identifiers in the file names. 2. Input plain or gzip/xz/zstd/bzip2 compressed FASTA/Q files can be given via positional arguments or the flag -X/--infile-list with a list of input files. Flag -S/--skip-file-check is optional for skipping file checking if you trust the file list. 3. Input can also be a directory containing sequence files via the flag -I/--in-dir, with multiple-level sub-directories allowed. A regular expression for matching sequencing files is available via the flag -r/--file-regexp. 4. Some non-isolate assemblies might have extremely large genomes (e.g., GCA_000765055.1, \u0026gt;150 mb). The flag -g/--max-genome is used to skip these input files, and the file list would be written to a file (-G/--big-genomes). You need to increase the value for indexing fungi genomes. 5. Maximum genome size: 268,435,456. More precisely: $total_bases + ($num_contigs - 1) * 1000 \u0026lt;= 268,435,456, as we concatenate contigs with 1000-bp intervals of N’s to reduce the sequence scale to index. 6. A flag -l/--min-seq-len can filter out sequences shorter than the threshold (default is the k value). Attention: *1) ► You can rename the sequence files for convenience, e.g., GCF_000017205.1.fa.gz, because the genome identifiers in the index and search result would be: the basenames of files with common FASTA/Q file extensions removed, which are extracted via the flag -N/--ref-name-regexp. ► The extracted genome identifiers better be distinct, which will be shown in search results and are used to extract subsequences in the command \u0026#34;lexicmap utils subseq\u0026#34;. 2) ► Unwanted sequences like plasmids can be filtered out by content in FASTA/Q header via regular expressions (-B/--seq-name-filter). 3) All degenerate bases are converted to their lexicographic first bases. E.g., N is converted to A. code bases saved A A A C C C G G G T/U T T M A/C A R A/G A W A/T A S C/G C Y C/T C K G/T G V A/C/G A H A/C/T A D A/G/T A B C/G/T C N A/C/G/T A Important parameters: --- Genome data --- *1. -b/--batch-size, ► Maximum number of genomes in each batch (maximum: 131072, default: 5000). ► If the number of input files exceeds this number, input files are split into multiple batches and indexes are built for all batches. In the end, seed files are merged, while genome data files are kept unchanged and collected. ■ Bigger values increase indexing memory occupation and increase batch searching speed, while single query searching speed is not affected. --- LexicHash mask generation --- 0. -M/--mask-file, ► File with custom masks, which could be exported from an existing index or newly generated by \u0026#34;lexicmap utils masks\u0026#34;. This flag oversides -k/--kmer, -m/--masks, -s/--rand-seed, etc. *1. -k/--kmer, ► K-mer size (maximum: 32, default: 31). ■ Bigger values improve the search specificity and do not increase the index size. *2. -m/--masks, ► Number of LexicHash masks (default: 40000). ■ Bigger values improve the search sensitivity, increase the index size, and slow down the search speed. --- Seeds data (k-mer-value data) --- *1. --seed-max-desert ► Maximum length of distances between seeds (default: 200). The default value of 200 guarantees queries \u0026gt;=200 bp would match at least one seed. ► Large regions with no seeds are called sketching deserts. Deserts with seed distance larger than this value will be filled by choosing k-mers roughly every --seed-in-desert-dist (50 by default) bases. ■ Big values decrease the search sensitivity for distant targets, speed up the indexing speed, decrease the indexing memory occupation and decrease the index size. While the alignment speed is almost not affected. 2. -c/--chunks, ► Number of seed file chunks (maximum: 128, default: #CPUs). ► Bigger values accelerate the search speed at the cost of a high disk reading load. The maximum number should not exceed the maximum number of open files set by the operating systems. *3. -J/--seed-data-threads ► Number of threads for writing seed data and merging seed chunks from all batches (maximum: -c/--chunks, default: 8). ■ Bigger values increase indexing speed at the cost of slightly higher memory occupation. 4. --partitions, ► Number of partitions for indexing each seed file (default: 1024). ► Bigger values bring a little higher memory occupation. ► After indexing, \u0026#34;lexicmap utils reindex-seeds\u0026#34; can be used to reindex the seeds data with another value of this flag. 5. --max-open-files, ► Maximum number of open files (default: 512). ► It\u0026#39;s only used in merging indexes of multiple genome batches.

(default 16) --contig-interval int ► Length of interval (N\u0026#39;s) between contigs in a genome. (default 1000) -r, --file-regexp string ► Regular expression for matching sequence files in -I/--in-dir, case ignored. (default \u0026#34;\\\\.(f[aq](st[aq])?|fna)(\\\\.gz|\\\\.xz|\\\\.zst|\\\\.bz2)?$\u0026#34;) --force ► Overwrite existing output directory. -h, --help help for index -I, --in-dir string ► Input directory containing FASTA/Q files. Directory and file symlinks are followed. -k, --kmer int ► Maximum k-mer size. K needs to be \u0026lt;= 32. (default 31) -M, --mask-file string ► File of custom masks. This flag oversides -k/--kmer, -m/--masks, -s/--rand-seed etc. -m, --masks int ► Number of LexicHash masks. (default 40000) -g, --max-genome int ► Maximum genome size. Extremely large genomes (e.g., non-isolate assemblies from Genbank) will be skipped. Need to be smaller than the maximum supported genome size: 268435456 (default 15000000) --max-open-files int ► Maximum opened files, used in merging indexes. (default 512) -l, --min-seq-len int ► Maximum sequence length to index. The value would be k for values \u0026lt;= 0 (default -1) --no-desert-filling ► Disable sketching desert filling (only for debug). -O, --out-dir string ► Output LexicMap index directory. --partitions int ► Number of partitions for indexing seeds (k-mer-value data) files. The value needs to be the power of 4. (default 1024) -s, --rand-seed int ► Rand seed for generating random masks.

The sensitivity of LexicMap is comparable with Blastn. The alignment is fast and memory-efficient. LexicMap is easy to install, we provide binary files with no dependencies for Linux, Windows, MacOS (x86 and arm CPUs). LexicMap is easy to use (tutorials and usages). Both tabular and Blast-style output formats are available. Besides, we provide several commands to explore the index data and extract indexed subsequences. Introduction Motivation: Alignment against a database of genomes is a fundamental operation in bioinformatics, popularised by BLAST. However, given the increasing rate at which genomes are sequenced, existing tools struggle to scale.\nExisting full alignment tools face challenges of high memory consumption and slow speeds. Alignment-free large-scale sequence searching tools only return the matched genomes, without the vital positional information for downstream analysis. Prefilter+Align strategies have the sensitivity issue in the prefiltering step. Methods: (algorithm overview)\nAn improved version of the sequence sketching method LexicHash is adopted to compute alignment seeds accurately and efficiently. We solved the sketching deserts problem of LexicHash seeds to provide a window guarantee. We added the support of suffix matching of seeds, making seeds much more tolerant to mutations. Any 31-bp seed with a common ≥15 bp prefix or suffix can be matched, which means seeds are immune to any single SNP. A hierarchical index enables fast and low-memory variable-length seed matching and chaining. A pseudo alignment algorithm is used to find similar sequence regions from chaining results for alignment. A reimplemented Wavefront alignment algorithm is used for base-level alignment. Results:\nLexicMap enables efficient indexing and searching of both RefSeq+GenBank and the AllTheBacteria datasets (2.3 and 1.9 million genomes respectively). Running at this scale has previously only been achieved by Phylign (previously called mof-search).\nFor searching in all 2,340,672 Genbank+Refseq prokaryotic genomes, Bastn is unable to run with this dataset on common servers as it requires \u0026gt;2000 GB RAM.

However, short queries can also be aligned. Input should be (gzipped) FASTA or FASTQ records from files or STDIN.\nHardware requirements See benchmark of index building.\nLexicMap is designed to provide fast and low-memory sequence alignment against millions of prokaryotic genomes.\nCPU: No specific requirements on CPU type and instruction sets. Both x86 and ARM chips are supported. More is better as LexicMap is a CPU-intensive software. It uses all CPUs by default (-j/--threads). RAM More RAM (\u0026gt; 16 GB) is preferred. The memory usage in searching is mainly related to: The number of matched genomes and sequences. The length of query sequences. Similarities between query and target sequences. The number of threads. It uses all CPUs by default (-j/--threads). Disk Sufficient space is required to store the index size. No temporary files are generated during searching. Algorithm Masking: Query sequence is masked by the masks of the index. In other words, each mask captures the most similar k-mer which shares the longest prefix with the mask, and stores its position and strand information. Seeding: For each mask, the captured k-mer is used to search seeds (captured k-mers in reference genomes) sharing prefixes or suffixes of at least p bases. Prefix matching Setting the search range: Since the seeded k-mers are stored in lexicographic order, the k-mer matching turns into a range query. For example, for a query CATGCT requiring matching at least 4-bp prefix is equal to extract k-mers ranging from CATGAA, CATGAC, CATGAG, \u0026hellip;, to CATGTT. Retrieving search start point: The index file of each seed data file stores some k-mers\u0026rsquo; offsets in the data file, and the index is loaded in RAM. Retrieving seed data: Seed k-mers are read from the file and checked one by one, and k-mers in the search range are returned, along with the k-mer information (genome batch, genome number, location, and strand). Suffix matching Reversing the query k-mer and performing prefix matching, returning seeds of reversed k-mers (see indexing algorithm). Chaining: Seeding results, i.e., anchors (matched k-mers from the query and subject sequence), are summarized by genome, and deduplicated. Performing chaining (see the paper). Alignment for each chain. Extending the anchor region. for extracting sequences from the query and reference genome. For example, extending 1 kb in upstream and downstream of anchor region. Performing pseudo-alignment with extended query and subject sequences, for find similar regions. For these similar regions that accross more than one reference sequences, splitting them into multiple ones. Fast alignment of query and subject sequence regions with our implementation of Wavefront alignment algorithm. Filtering alignments based on user options.

Does LexicMap support fungi genomes? How\u0026rsquo;s the hardware requirement? Can I extract the matched sequences? How can I extract the upstream and downstream flanking sequences of matched regions? Why isn\u0026rsquo;t the pident 100% when aligning with a sequence from the reference genomes? Why is LexicMap slow for batch searching? Does LexicMap support short reads? LexicMap is mainly designed for sequence alignment with a small number of queries (gene/plasmid/virus/phage sequences) longer than 200 bp by default. However, short queries can also be aligned.\nIf you just want to search long (\u0026gt;1kb) queries for highy similar (\u0026gt;95%) targets, you can build an index with a bigger -D/--seed-max-desert (200 by default), e.g.,\n--seed-max-desert 450 --seed-in-desert-dist 150 Bigger values decrease the search sensitivity for distant targets, speed up the indexing speed, decrease the indexing memory occupation and decrease the index size. While the alignment speed is almost not affected.\nDoes LexicMap support fungi genomes? Yes. LexicMap mainly supports small genomes including prokaryotic, viral, and plasmid genomes. Fungi can also be supported, just remember to increase the value of -g/--max-genome when running lexicmap index, which is used to skip genomes larger than 15Mb by default.\n-g, --max-genome int ► Maximum genome size. Extremely large genomes (e.g., non-isolate assemblies from Genbank) will be skipped. (default 15000000) Maximum genome size is about 268 Mb (268,435,456). More precisely:\n$total_bases + ($num_contigs - 1) * 1000 \u0026lt;= 268,435,456 as we concatenate contigs with 1000-bp intervals of N’s to reduce the sequence scale to index.\nFor big and complex genomes, like the human genome (chr1 is ~248 Mb) which has many repetitive sequences, LexicMap would be slow to align.\nHow\u0026rsquo;s the hardware requirement? For index building. See details hardware requirement. For seaching. See details hardware requirement. Can I extract the matched sequences? Yes, lexicmap search has a flag\n-a, --all ► Output more columns, e.g., matched sequences. Use this if you want to output blast-style format with \u0026#34;lexicmap utils 2blast\u0026#34;. to output CIGAR string, aligned query and subject sequences.\n18. cigar, CIGAR string of the alignment (optional with -a/--all) 19. qseq, Aligned part of query sequence. (optional with -a/--all) 20. sseq, Aligned part of subject sequence. (optional with -a/--all) 21. align, Alignment text (\u0026#34;|\u0026#34; and \u0026#34; \u0026#34;) between qseq and sseq. (optional with -a/--all) And lexicmap util 2blast can help to convert the tabular format to Blast-style format, see examples.\nHow can I extract the upstream and downstream flanking sequences of matched regions? lexicmap utils subseq can extract subsequencess via genome ID, sequence ID and positions. So you can use these information from the search result and expand the region positions to extract flanking sequences.\nWhy isn\u0026rsquo;t the pident 100% when aligning with a sequence from the reference genomes? It happens if there are some degenerate bases (e.g., N) in the query sequence. In the indexing step, all degenerate bases are converted to their lexicographic first bases. E.g., N is converted to A. While for the query sequences, we don\u0026rsquo;t convert them.\nWhy is LexicMap slow for batch searching? LexicMap is mainly designed for sequence alignment with a small number of queries against a database with a huge number (up to 16 million) of genomes.\nlexicmap search has a flag -w/--load-whole-seeds to load the whole seed data into memory for faster search.\nFor example, for ~85,000 GTDB representative genomes, the memory would be ~260 GB with default parameters. lexicmap search also has a flag --pseudo-align to only perform pseudo alignment, which is slightly faster and uses less memory. It can be used in searching with long and divergent query sequences like nanopore long-reads.\nClick to read more detail of the usage.\n","description":"Table of contents Table of contents Does LexicMap support short reads?

E.g., GCF_000006945.2.fna.gz While if you save a few small (viral) complete genomes (one sequence per genome) in each file, it\u0026rsquo;s feasible as sequence IDs in search result can help to distinguish targe genomes. Run: From a directory with multiple genome files:\nlexicmap index -I genomes/ -O db.lmi From a file list with one file per line:\nlexicmap index -X files.txt -O db.lmi Input Genome size\nLexicMap is mainly suitable for small genomes like Archaea, Bacteria, Viruses and plasmids.\nMaximum genome size: 268 Mb (268,435,456). More precisely:\n$total_bases + ($num_contigs - 1) * 1000 \u0026lt;= 268,435,456 as we concatenate contigs with 1000-bp intervals of N’s to reduce the sequence scale to index.\nSequences of each reference genome should be saved in separate FASTA/Q files, with identifiers in the file names.

File name: \u0026ldquo;Genome ID\u0026rdquo; + \u0026ldquo;File extention\u0026rdquo;. E.g., GCF_000006945.2.fna.gz. Genome ID: they should be distinct for accurate result interpretation, which will be shown in the search result. File extention: a regular expression set by the flag -N/--ref-name-regexp is used to extract genome IDs from the file name. The default value supports common sequence file extentions, e.g., .fa, .fasta, .fna, .fa.gz, .fasta.gz, .fna.gz, fasta.xz, fasta.zst, and fasta.bz2. brename can help to batch rename files safely. If you don\u0026rsquo;t want to change the original file names, you can Create and change to a new directory. Create symbolic links (ln -s) for all genome files. Batch rename all the symbolic links with brename. Use this directory as input via the flag -I/--in-dir. Sequences: Only DNA or RNA sequences are supported. Sequence IDs should be distinct for accurate result interpretation, which will be shown in the search result. One or more sequences (contigs) in each file are allowed. Unwanted sequences can be filtered out by regular expressions from the flag -B/--seq-name-filter. Genome size limit. Some none-isolate assemblies might have extremely large genomes, e.g., GCA_000765055.1 has \u0026gt;150 Mb. The flag -g/--max-genome (default 15 Mb) is used to skip these input files, and the file list would be written to a file via the flag -G/--big-genomes. For fungi genomes, please increase the value. Minimum sequence length. A flag -l/--min-seq-len can filter out sequences shorter than the threshold (default is the k value). At most 17,179,869,184 (234) genomes are supported. For more genomes, please create a file list and split it into multiple parts, and build an index for each part. Input files can be given via one of the following ways:\nPositional arguments. For a few input files. A file list via the flag -X/--infile-list with one file per line. It can be STDIN (-), e.g., you can filter a file list and pass it to lexicmap index. The flag -S/--skip-file-check is optional for skiping input file checking if you believe these files do exist. A directory containing input files via the flag -I/--in-dir. Multiple-level directories are supported. So you don\u0026rsquo;t need to saved hundreds of thousand files into one directoy. Directory and file symlinks are followed. Hardware requirements See benchmark of index building.\nLexicMap is designed to provide fast and low-memory sequence alignment against millions of prokaryotic genomes.\nCPU: No specific requirements on CPU type and instruction sets. Both x86 and ARM chips are supported. More is better as LexicMap is a CPU-intensive software. It uses all CPUs by default (-j/--threads). RAM More RAM (\u0026gt; 100 GB) is preferred. The memory usage in index building is mainly related to: The number of masks (-m/--masks, default 40,000). Bigger values improve the search sensitivity, increase the index size, and slow down the search speed. For smaller genomes like phages/viruses, m=10,000 is high enough. The number of genomes. More genome consure more memory. The divergence between genome sequences. Diverse genomes consume more memory. The genome batch size (-b/--batch-size, default 5,000). This is the main parameter to adjust memory usage. Bigger values increase indexing memory occupation. The maximum seed distance or the maximum sketching desert size (-D/--seed-max-desert, default 200), and the distance of k-mers to fill deserts (-d/--seed-in-desert-dist, default 50). Bigger -D/--seed-max-desert values decrease the search sensitivity for distant targets, speed up the indexing speed, decrease the indexing memory occupation and decrease the index size. While the alignment speed is almost not affected. If the RAM is not sufficient. Please: Use a smaller genome batch size. It decreases indexing memory occupation and has little affection on searching performance. Use a smaller number of masks, e.g., 20,000 performs well for small genomes (\u0026lt;=5 Mb). And if the queries are long (\u0026gt;= 2kb), there\u0026rsquo;s little affection for the alignment results. Disk More is better. LexicMap index size is related to the number of input genomes, the divergence between genome sequences, the number of masks, and the maximum seed distance. See some examples. Note that the index size is not linear with the number of genomes, it\u0026rsquo;s sublinear. Because the seed data are compressed with VARINT-GB algorithm, more genome bring higher compression rates. SSD disks are preferred, while HDD disks are also fast enough. Algorithm Generating m LexicHash masks.\nGenerate m prefixes. Generating all permutations of p-bp prefixes that can cover all possible k-mers, p is the biggest value for 4p \u0026lt;= m (desired number of masks), e.g., p=7 for 40,000 masks. (47 = 16384) Duplicating these prefixes to m prefixes. For each prefix, Randomly generating left k-p bases. If the mask is duplicated, re-generating. Building an index for each genome batch (-b/--batch-size, default 10,000, max 131,072).\nFor each genome file in a genome batch. Optionally discarding sequences via regular expression (-B/--seq-name-filter). Skipping genomes bigger than the value of -g/--max-genome. Concatenating all sequences, with intervals of 1000-bp N\u0026rsquo;s. Capturing the most similar k-mer (in non-gap and non-interval regions) for each mask and recording the k-mer and its location(s) and strand information. Base N is treated as A. Filling sketching deserts (genome regions longer than --seed-max-desert without any captured k-mers/seeds). In a sketching desert, not a single k-mer is captured because there\u0026rsquo;s another k-mer in another place which shares a longer prefix with the mask. As a result, for a query similar to seqs in this region, all captured k-mers can’t match the correct seeds. For a desert region (start, end), masking the extended region (start-1000, end+1000) with the masks. Starting from start, every around --seed-in-desert-dist (default 150) bp, finding a k-mer which is captured by some mask, and add the k-mer and its position information into the index of that mask. Saving the concatenated genome sequence (bit-packed, 2 bits for one base, N is treated as A) and genome information (genome ID, size, and lengths of all sequences) into the genome data file, and creating an index file for the genome data file for fast random subsequence extraction. Duplicate and reverse all k-mers, and save each reversed k-mer along with the duplicated position information in the seed data of the closest (sharing the longgest prefix) mask. This is for suffix matching of seeds. Compressing k-mers and the corresponding data (k-mer-data, or seeds data, including genome batch, genome number, location, and strand) into chunks of files, and creating an index file for each k-mer-data file for fast seeding. Writing summary information into info.toml file. Merging indexes of multiple batches.\nFor each k-mer-data chunk file (belonging to a list of masks), serially reading data of each mask from all batches, merging them and writting to a new file. For genome data files, just moving them. Concatenating genomes.map.bin, which maps each genome ID to its batch ID and index in the batch. Update the index summary file. Parameters Query length\nLexicMap is mainly designed for sequence alignment with a small number of queries (gene/plasmid/virus/phage sequences) longer than 200 bp by default. However, short queries can also be aligned.\nIf you just want to search long (\u0026gt;1kb) queries for highy similar (\u0026gt;95%) targets, you can build an index with a bigger -D/--seed-max-desert (200 by default), e.g.,\n--seed-max-desert 450 --seed-in-desert-dist 150 Bigger values decrease the search sensitivity for distant targets, speed up the indexing speed, decrease the indexing memory occupation and decrease the index size. While the alignment speed is almost not affected.\nFlags in bold text are important and frequently used.\nGenome batches Flag Value Function Comment -b/--batch-size Max: 131072, default: 5000 Maximum number of genomes in each batch If the number of input files exceeds this number, input files are split into multiple batches and indexes are built for all batches. In the end, seed files are merged, while genome data files are kept unchanged and collected. ■ Bigger values increase indexing memory occupation and increase batch searching speed, while single query searching speed is not affected. LexicHash mask generation Flag Value Function Comment -M/--mask-file A file File with custom masks File with custom masks, which could be exported from an existing index or newly generated by \u0026ldquo;lexicmap utils masks\u0026rdquo;. This flag oversides -k/--kmer, -m/--masks, -s/--rand-seed, etc. -k/--kmer Max: 32, default: 31 K-mer size ■ Bigger values improve the search specificity and do not increase the index size. -m/--masks Default: 40,000 Number of masks ■ Bigger values improve the search sensitivity, increase the index size, and slow down the search speed. For smaller genomes like phages/viruses, m=10,000 is high enough. [shenwei@mBio index]$ Seeds (k-mer-value) data Flag Value Function Comment --seed-max-desert Default: 200 Maximum length of distances between seeds The default value of 200 guarantees queries \u0026gt;200 bp would match at least one seed. ► Large regions with no seeds are called sketching deserts. Deserts with seed distance larger than this value will be filled by choosing k-mers roughly every \u0026ndash;seed-in-desert-dist (50 by default) bases. ■ Bigger values decrease the search sensitivity for distant targets, speed up the indexing speed, decrease the indexing memory occupation and decrease the index size. While the alignment speed is almost not affected. -c/--chunks Maximum: 128, default: #CPUs Number of seed file chunks Bigger values accelerate the search speed at the cost of a high disk reading load. The maximum number should not exceed the maximum number of open files set by the operating systems. -J/--seed-data-threads Maximum: -c/\u0026ndash;chunks, default: 8 Number of threads for writing seed data and merging seed chunks from all batches ■ Bigger values increase indexing speed at the cost of slightly higher memory occupation. -p/--partitions Default: 1024 Number of partitions for indexing each seed file Bigger values bring a little higher memory occupation. ► After indexing, lexicmap utils reindex-seeds can be used to reindex the seeds data with another value of this flag. --max-open-files Default: 512 Maximum number of open files It\u0026rsquo;s only used in merging indexes of multiple genome batches.

Sequences of each reference genome should be saved in separate FASTA/Q files, with reference identifiers in the file names. 2. Input plain or gzip/xz/zstd/bzip2 compressed FASTA/Q files can be given via positional arguments or the flag -X/--infile-list with a list of input files. Flag -S/--skip-file-check is optional for skipping file checking if you trust the file list. 3. Input can also be a directory containing sequence files via the flag -I/--in-dir, with multiple-level sub-directories allowed. A regular expression for matching sequencing files is available via the flag -r/--file-regexp. 4. Some non-isolate assemblies might have extremely large genomes (e.g., GCA_000765055.1, \u0026gt;150 mb). The flag -g/--max-genome is used to skip these input files, and the file list would be written to a file (-G/--big-genomes). You need to increase the value for indexing fungi genomes. 5. Maximum genome size: 268,435,456. More precisely: $total_bases + ($num_contigs - 1) * 1000 \u0026lt;= 268,435,456, as we concatenate contigs with 1000-bp intervals of N’s to reduce the sequence scale to index. 6. A flag -l/--min-seq-len can filter out sequences shorter than the threshold (default is the k value). Attention: *1) ► You can rename the sequence files for convenience, e.g., GCF_000017205.1.fa.gz, because the genome identifiers in the index and search result would be: the basenames of files with common FASTA/Q file extensions removed, which are extracted via the flag -N/--ref-name-regexp. ► The extracted genome identifiers better be distinct, which will be shown in search results and are used to extract subsequences in the command \u0026#34;lexicmap utils subseq\u0026#34;. 2) ► Unwanted sequences like plasmids can be filtered out by content in FASTA/Q header via regular expressions (-B/--seq-name-filter). 3) All degenerate bases are converted to their lexicographic first bases.

The sensitivity of LexicMap is comparable with Blastn. The alignment is fast and memory-efficient. LexicMap is easy to install, we provide binary files with no dependencies for Linux, Windows, MacOS (x86 and arm CPUs). LexicMap is easy to use (tutorials and usages). Both tabular and Blast-style output formats are available. Besides, we provide several commands to explore the index data and extract indexed subsequences. Introduction Motivation: Alignment against a database of genomes is a fundamental operation in bioinformatics, popularised by BLAST. However, given the increasing rate at which genomes are sequenced, existing tools struggle to scale.\nExisting full alignment tools face challenges of high memory consumption and slow speeds. Alignment-free large-scale sequence searching tools only return the matched genomes, without the vital positional information for downstream analysis. Prefilter+Align strategies have the sensitivity issue in the prefiltering step. Methods: (algorithm overview)\nAn improved version of the sequence sketching method LexicHash is adopted to compute alignment seeds accurately and efficiently. We solved the sketching deserts problem of LexicHash seeds to provide a window guarantee. We added the support of suffix matching of seeds, making seeds much more tolerant to mutations. Any 31-bp seed with a common ≥15 bp prefix or suffix can be matched, which means seeds are immune to any single SNP. A hierarchical index enables fast and low-memory variable-length seed matching (prefix + suffix matching). A pseudo alignment algorithm is used to find similar sequence regions from chaining results for alignment. A reimplemented Wavefront alignment algorithm is used for base-level alignment. Results:\nLexicMap enables efficient indexing and searching of both RefSeq+GenBank and the AllTheBacteria datasets (2.3 and 1.9 million prokaryotic assemblies respectively). Running at this scale has previously only been achieved by Phylign (previously called mof-search), which compresses genomes with phylogenetic information and provides searching (prefiltering with COBS and alignment with minimap2).\nFor searching in all 2,340,672 Genbank+Refseq prokaryotic genomes, Bastn is unable to run with this dataset on common servers as it requires \u0026gt;2000 GB RAM.

However, short queries can also be aligned. Input should be (gzipped) FASTA or FASTQ records from files or STDIN.\nHardware requirements See benchmark of index building.\nLexicMap is designed to provide fast and low-memory sequence alignment against millions of prokaryotic genomes.\nCPU: No specific requirements on CPU type and instruction sets. Both x86 and ARM chips are supported. More is better as LexicMap is a CPU-intensive software. It uses all CPUs by default (-j/--threads). RAM More RAM (\u0026gt; 16 GB) is preferred. The memory usage in searching is mainly related to: The number of matched genomes and sequences. The length of query sequences. Similarities between query and target sequences. The number of threads. It uses all CPUs by default (-j/--threads). Disk Sufficient space is required to store the index size. No temporary files are generated during searching. Algorithm Masking: Query sequence is masked by the masks of the index. In other words, each mask captures the most similar k-mer which shares the longest prefix with the mask, and stores its position and strand information. Seeding: For each mask, the captured k-mer is used to search seeds (captured k-mers in reference genomes) sharing prefixes or suffixes of at least p bases. Prefix matching Setting the search range: Since the seeded k-mers are stored in lexicographic order, the k-mer matching turns into a range query. For example, for a query CATGCT requiring matching at least 4-bp prefix is equal to extract k-mers ranging from CATGAA, CATGAC, CATGAG, \u0026hellip;, to CATGTT. Retrieving search start point: The index file of each seed data file stores some k-mers\u0026rsquo; offsets in the data file, and the index is loaded in RAM. Retrieving seed data: Seed k-mers are read from the file and checked one by one, and k-mers in the search range are returned, along with the k-mer information (genome batch, genome number, location, and strand). Suffix matching Reversing the query k-mer and performing prefix matching, returning seeds of reversed k-mers (see indexing algorithm). Chaining: Seeding results, i.e., anchors (matched k-mers from the query and subject sequence), are summarized by genome, and deduplicated. Performing chaining (see the paper). Alignment for each chain. Extending the anchor region. for extracting sequences from the query and reference genome. For example, extending 1 kb in upstream and downstream of anchor region. Performing pseudo-alignment with extended query and subject sequences, for find similar regions. For these similar regions that accross more than one reference sequences, splitting them into multiple ones. Fast alignment of query and subject sequence regions with our implementation of Wavefront alignment algorithm. Filtering alignments based on user options.

How can I extract the upstream and downstream flanking sequences of matched regions? Why isn\u0026rsquo;t the pident 100% when aligning with a sequence from the reference genomes? Why is LexicMap slow for batch searching? Does LexicMap support short reads? LexicMap is mainly designed for sequence alignment with a small number of queries (gene/plasmid/virus/phage sequences) longer than 200 bp by default. However, short queries can also be aligned.\nIf you just want to search long (\u0026gt;1kb) queries for highy similar (\u0026gt;95%) targets, you can build an index with a bigger -D/--seed-max-desert (200 by default), e.g.,\n--seed-max-desert 450 --seed-in-desert-dist 150 Bigger values decrease the search sensitivity for distant targets, speed up the indexing speed, decrease the indexing memory occupation and decrease the index size. While the alignment speed is almost not affected.\nDoes LexicMap support fungi genomes? Yes. LexicMap mainly supports small genomes including prokaryotic, viral, and plasmid genomes. Fungi can also be supported, just remember to increase the value of -g/--max-genome when running lexicmap index, which is used to skip genomes larger than 15Mb by default.\n-g, --max-genome int ► Maximum genome size. Extremely large genomes (e.g., non-isolate assemblies from Genbank) will be skipped. (default 15000000) Maximum genome size is about 268 Mb (268,435,456). More precisely:\n$total_bases + ($num_contigs - 1) * 1000 \u0026lt;= 268,435,456 as we concatenate contigs with 1000-bp intervals of N’s to reduce the sequence scale to index.\nFor big and complex genomes, like the human genome (chr1 is ~248 Mb) which has many repetitive sequences, LexicMap would be slow to align.\nHow\u0026rsquo;s the hardware requirement? For index building. See details hardware requirement. For seaching. See details hardware requirement. Can I extract the matched sequences? Yes, lexicmap search has a flag\n-a, --all ► Output more columns, e.g., matched sequences. Use this if you want to output blast-style format with \u0026#34;lexicmap utils 2blast\u0026#34;. to output CIGAR string, aligned query and subject sequences.\n18. cigar, CIGAR string of the alignment (optional with -a/--all) 19. qseq, Aligned part of query sequence. (optional with -a/--all) 20. sseq, Aligned part of subject sequence. (optional with -a/--all) 21. align, Alignment text (\u0026#34;|\u0026#34; and \u0026#34; \u0026#34;) between qseq and sseq. (optional with -a/--all) And lexicmap util 2blast can help to convert the tabular format to Blast-style format, see examples.\nHow can I extract the upstream and downstream flanking sequences of matched regions? lexicmap utils subseq can extract subsequencess via genome ID, sequence ID and positions. So you can use these information from the search result and expand the region positions to extract flanking sequences.\nWhy isn\u0026rsquo;t the pident 100% when aligning with a sequence from the reference genomes? It happens if there are some degenerate bases (e.g., N) in the query sequence. In the indexing step, all degenerate bases are converted to their lexicographic first bases. E.g., N is converted to A. While for the query sequences, we don\u0026rsquo;t convert them.\nWhy is LexicMap slow for batch searching? LexicMap is mainly designed for sequence alignment with a small number of queries against a database with a huge number (up to 16 million) of genomes.\nlexicmap search has a flag -w/--load-whole-seeds to load the whole seed data into memory for faster search.\nFor example, for ~85,000 GTDB representative genomes, the memory would be ~260 GB with default parameters. lexicmap search also has a flag --pseudo-align to only perform pseudo alignment, which is slightly faster and uses less memory. It can be used in searching with long and divergent query sequences like nanopore long-reads.\nClick to read more detail of the usage.\n","description":"Table of contents Table of contents Does LexicMap support short reads?

Genome ID: they should be distinct for accurate result interpretation, which will be shown in the search result. File extention: a regular expression set by the flag -N/--ref-name-regexp is used to extract genome IDs from the file name. The default value supports common sequence file extentions, e.g., .fa, .fasta, .fna, .fa.gz, .fasta.gz, .fna.gz, fasta.xz, fasta.zst, and fasta.bz2. brename can help to batch rename files safely. If you don\u0026rsquo;t want to change the original file names, you can Create and change to a new directory. Create symbolic links (ln -s) for all genome files. Batch rename all the symbolic links with brename. Use this directory as input via the flag -I/--in-dir. Sequences: Only DNA or RNA sequences are supported. Sequence IDs should be distinct for accurate result interpretation, which will be shown in the search result. One or more sequences (contigs) in each file are allowed. Unwanted sequences can be filtered out by regular expressions from the flag -B/--seq-name-filter. Genome size limit. Some none-isolate assemblies might have extremely large genomes, e.g., GCA_000765055.1 has \u0026gt;150 Mb. The flag -g/--max-genome (default 15 Mb) is used to skip these input files, and the file list would be written to a file via the flag -G/--big-genomes. For fungi genomes, please increase the value. Minimum sequence length. A flag -l/--min-seq-len can filter out sequences shorter than the threshold (default is the k value). At most 17,179,869,184 (234) genomes are supported. For more genomes, please create a file list and split it into multiple parts, and build an index for each part. Input files can be given via one of the following ways:\nPositional arguments. For a few input files. A file list via the flag -X/--infile-list with one file per line. It can be STDIN (-), e.g., you can filter a file list and pass it to lexicmap index. The flag -S/--skip-file-check is optional for skiping input file checking if you believe these files do exist. A directory containing input files via the flag -I/--in-dir. Multiple-level directories are supported. So you don\u0026rsquo;t need to saved hundreds of thousand files into one directoy. Directory and file symlinks are followed. Hardware requirements See benchmark of index building.\nLexicMap is designed to provide fast and low-memory sequence alignment against millions of prokaryotic genomes.\nCPU: No specific requirements on CPU type and instruction sets. Both x86 and ARM chips are supported. More is better as LexicMap is a CPU-intensive software. It uses all CPUs by default (-j/--threads). RAM More RAM (\u0026gt; 100 GB) is preferred. The memory usage in index building is mainly related to: The number of masks (-m/--masks, default 40,000). Bigger values improve the search sensitivity, increase the index size, and slow down the search speed. For smaller genomes like phages/viruses, m=10,000 is high enough. The number of genomes. More genome consure more memory. The divergence between genome sequences in each batch. Diverse genomes consume more memory. The genome batch size (-b/--batch-size, default 5,000). This is the main parameter to adjust memory usage. Bigger values increase indexing memory occupation. The maximum seed distance or the maximum sketching desert size (-D/--seed-max-desert, default 200), and the distance of k-mers to fill deserts (-d/--seed-in-desert-dist, default 50). Bigger -D/--seed-max-desert values decrease the search sensitivity for distant targets, speed up the indexing speed, decrease the indexing memory occupation and decrease the index size. While the alignment speed is almost not affected. If the RAM is not sufficient. Please: Use a smaller genome batch size. It decreases indexing memory occupation and has little affection on searching performance. Sorting the input file list by species. So genomes within a batch would be more similar and the memory would be lower. Use a smaller number of masks, e.g., 20,000 performs well for small genomes (\u0026lt;=5 Mb). And if the queries are long (\u0026gt;= 2kb), there\u0026rsquo;s little affection for the alignment results. Disk More is better. LexicMap index size is related to the number of input genomes, the divergence between genome sequences, the number of masks, and the maximum seed distance. See some examples. Note that the index size is not linear with the number of genomes, it\u0026rsquo;s sublinear. Because the seed data are compressed with VARINT-GB algorithm, more genome bring higher compression rates. SSD disks are preferred, while HDD disks are also fast enough. Algorithm Generating m LexicHash masks.\nGenerate m prefixes. Generating all permutations of p-bp prefixes that can cover all possible k-mers, p is the biggest value for 4p \u0026lt;= m (desired number of masks), e.g., p=7 for 40,000 masks. (47 = 16384) Duplicating these prefixes to m prefixes. For each prefix, Randomly generating left k-p bases. If the mask is duplicated, re-generating. Building an index for each genome batch (-b/--batch-size, default 10,000, max 131,072).\nFor each genome file in a genome batch. Optionally discarding sequences via regular expression (-B/--seq-name-filter). Skipping genomes bigger than the value of -g/--max-genome. Concatenating all sequences, with intervals of 1000-bp N\u0026rsquo;s. Capturing the most similar k-mer (in non-gap and non-interval regions) for each mask and recording the k-mer and its location(s) and strand information. Base N is treated as A. Filling sketching deserts (genome regions longer than --seed-max-desert without any captured k-mers/seeds). In a sketching desert, not a single k-mer is captured because there\u0026rsquo;s another k-mer in another place which shares a longer prefix with the mask. As a result, for a query similar to seqs in this region, all captured k-mers can’t match the correct seeds. For a desert region (start, end), masking the extended region (start-1000, end+1000) with the masks. Starting from start, every around --seed-in-desert-dist (default 150) bp, finding a k-mer which is captured by some mask, and add the k-mer and its position information into the index of that mask. Saving the concatenated genome sequence (bit-packed, 2 bits for one base, N is treated as A) and genome information (genome ID, size, and lengths of all sequences) into the genome data file, and creating an index file for the genome data file for fast random subsequence extraction. Duplicate and reverse all k-mers, and save each reversed k-mer along with the duplicated position information in the seed data of the closest (sharing the longgest prefix) mask. This is for suffix matching of seeds. Compressing k-mers and the corresponding data (k-mer-data, or seeds data, including genome batch, genome number, location, and strand) into chunks of files, and creating an index file for each k-mer-data file for fast seeding. Writing summary information into info.toml file. Merging indexes of multiple batches.\nFor each k-mer-data chunk file (belonging to a list of masks), serially reading data of each mask from all batches, merging them and writting to a new file. For genome data files, just moving them. Concatenating genomes.map.bin, which maps each genome ID to its batch ID and index in the batch. Update the index summary file. Parameters Query length\nLexicMap is mainly designed for sequence alignment with a small number of queries (gene/plasmid/virus/phage sequences) longer than 200 bp by default. However, short queries can also be aligned.\nIf you just want to search long (\u0026gt;1kb) queries for highy similar (\u0026gt;95%) targets, you can build an index with a bigger -D/--seed-max-desert (200 by default), e.g.,\n--seed-max-desert 450 --seed-in-desert-dist 150 Bigger values decrease the search sensitivity for distant targets, speed up the indexing speed, decrease the indexing memory occupation and decrease the index size. While the alignment speed is almost not affected.\nFlags in bold text are important and frequently used.\nGenome batches Flag Value Function Comment -b/--batch-size Max: 131072, default: 5000 Maximum number of genomes in each batch If the number of input files exceeds this number, input files are split into multiple batches and indexes are built for all batches. In the end, seed files are merged, while genome data files are kept unchanged and collected. ■ Bigger values increase indexing memory occupation and increase batch searching speed, while single query searching speed is not affected. LexicHash mask generation Flag Value Function Comment -M/--mask-file A file File with custom masks File with custom masks, which could be exported from an existing index or newly generated by \u0026ldquo;lexicmap utils masks\u0026rdquo;. This flag oversides -k/--kmer, -m/--masks, -s/--rand-seed, etc. -k/--kmer Max: 32, default: 31 K-mer size ■ Bigger values improve the search specificity and do not increase the index size. -m/--masks Default: 40,000 Number of masks ■ Bigger values improve the search sensitivity, increase the index size, and slow down the search speed. For smaller genomes like phages/viruses, m=10,000 is high enough. [shenwei@mBio index]$ Seeds (k-mer-value) data Flag Value Function Comment --seed-max-desert Default: 200 Maximum length of distances between seeds The default value of 200 guarantees queries \u0026gt;200 bp would match at least one seed. ► Large regions with no seeds are called sketching deserts. Deserts with seed distance larger than this value will be filled by choosing k-mers roughly every \u0026ndash;seed-in-desert-dist (50 by default) bases. ■ Bigger values decrease the search sensitivity for distant targets, speed up the indexing speed, decrease the indexing memory occupation and decrease the index size.
