Puhti and Mahti computing services have been decommissioned. Puhti and Mahti login nodes and storage services will remain available until 15 October 2026, but are no longer covered by service contracts. Please clean up and migrate your data to Roihu ASAP. See Roihu data migration guide for instructions.

HybPiper

HybPiper was designed for targeted sequence capture (Hyb-Seq), in which DNA sequences of interest are enriched from genomic libraries. It recovers the target coding sequences (and optionally flanking regions) from high-throughput sequencing reads, for use in phylogenomics.

Available

  • Roihu: 2.3.4, via the bio-apps module.

Usage

HybPiper is part of the bio-apps collection on Roihu. Load the bio-apps module tree and then the HybPiper module:

module load bio-apps/v202603
module load hybpiper/2.3.4

For a single sample, assemble the target loci from paired-end reads:

hybpiper assemble -t_dna target_file.fasta -r sample_R1.fastq sample_R2.fastq --prefix sample --cpu 8

Example batch script

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=hybpiper
#SBATCH --account=<project>
#SBATCH --output=output_%j.txt
#SBATCH --error=errors_%j.txt
#SBATCH --partition=small
#SBATCH --time=08:00:00
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks=1
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=8
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=4G

module load bio-apps/v202603
module load hybpiper/2.3.4

hybpiper assemble -t_dna target_file.fasta -r sample_R1.fastq sample_R2.fastq \
    --prefix sample --cpu $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK
