Warning!

Puhti and Mahti computing services have been decommissioned and no new jobs are accepted or executed on its compute nodes. Puhti and Mahti login nodes and storage services are planned to remain available until 15 October 2026. Clean up unnecessary files and move any data you need to keep by 31 August 2026. See the Roihu data migration guide for instructions on transferring your data to Roihu.

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

Replace <project> with your CSC project (for example project_2001234).
