GADB (Genomic Annotation Database)

This document provides detailed information about how we obtained the data, what version and what pre-processing steps were done for each data source.

GADB metadata:
Refer to “metadata_info.xlsx” file for how and from where we obtained meta information for GADB

Pre-processing:

All of the data provided in GADB are in BED format (other than 1000 genome - vcf and sequence data - fasta). Refer to “GADB_file_formats.tsv” for different BED formats

Bed files are 0-based sorted and indexed (GIGGLE and Tabix)

Pre-processing scripts:
Below scripts were used for every data source.

1)    Bed sort and bgzip (BED_sort-bgzip.sh)

2)    Giggle indexing (GIGGLE_index.sh)

3)    Tabix indexing (tabix_index.sh)

Other pre-processing steps that are specific for data source are described in the documentation part below, along with the scripts used.

 

ENCODE data download Documentation

Version: Downloaded datasets released until 05/2018

Data download:

Access data from data matrix: https://www.encodeproject.org/matrix/?type=Experiment&status=released

Use the following filter terms:

Assay title: CHIP-seq, Dnase-seq, eCLIP, CAGE, FAIRE-seq, RNA-PET, ChIA-PET, RIP-seq, iCLIP, 5C, ATAC-seq, DNA-PET, Hi-C, Mnase-seq

Genome assembly: hg19, hg38

Available file types: bigBed narrowPeak, bigBed broadPeak, bigBed bedRnaElements, bigBed tss_peak, bigBed idr_peak, bigBed bed12, bigBed bed3, gtf, gff gff3

After making the filter selection, use batch download (below instructions will be shown on the matrix page)

Click the “Download” button download a “files.txt” file that contains a list of URLs to a file containing all the experimental metadata and links to download the file. The first line of the file has the URL or command line to download the metadata file.

The “files.txt” file can be copied to any server.
The following command using curl can be used to download all the files in the list:

xargs -L 1 curl -O -L < files.txt

Data pre-processing:

1)     Convert bigBed to bed (bigBedToBed)

2)     Convert gff3 to bed (GFF3toBed.sh)

3)     Convert gtf to bed (GTFtobBed.sh)

Data pre-processing:

All snp-gene association – Considering the file size we filtered variants with p-value < 0.05 script used for filtering - “GTEx_filter_all_association.sh”

Each version of GTEx has different formatting structure, we used GTEx v6p all snp-gene association as default format. Below scripts are used for creating BED files from GTEx data (conversion done after filtering variants for every all snp-gene association dataset)

1)     GTEx_v6_eQTL_signif_bed_conversion.sh

2)     GTEx_v6p_eQTL_signif_bed_conversion.sh

3)     GTEx_v6p_eQTL_all_association_bed_conversion.sh

4)     GTEx_v7_eQTL_signif_bed_conversion.sh

5)     GTEx_v7_eQTL_all_association_bed_conversion.sh

6)     GTEx_v8_eQTL_signif_bed_conversion.sh

7)     GTEx_v8_eQTL_all_association_bed_conversion.sh

8)     GTEx_v8_sQTL_signif_bed_conversion.sh

9)     GTEx_v8_sQTL_all_association_bed_conversion.sh

After conversion to BED format, we rearranged the columns for consistency (to match v6p all snp-gene association) Script used for re-formatting - “GTEx_BED_column_reformatting.sh”

Hg38 liftover Documentation

Liftover was performed on all of the data sources for which no hg38 data was available.

Hg19 genome coordinates are lifted using UCSC liftOver utility hg19ToHg38.over.chain.gz

Hg19 coordinates are retained in the lifted-over files (column 4, 5 and 6 are hg19 coordinates in the lifted-over files)
