CAT

Main tool: CAT v5.3

Code repository: https://github.com/dutilh/CAT

Basic information on how to use this tool:

  • executable: |
usage: CAT (prepare | contigs | bin | bins | add_names | summarise) [-v / --version] [-h / --help]

Run Contig Annotation Tool (CAT) or Bin Annotation Tool (BAT).

Required choice:
  download		Download and preprocess data from NCBI nr or GTDB.
  prepare		Construct database files.
  contigs		Run CAT.
  bins			Run BAT.
  add_names		Add taxonomic names to CAT or BAT output files.
  summarise		Summarise a named CAT or BAT classification file.

Optional arguments:
  -v, --version		Print version information and exit.
  -h, --help		Show this help message and exit.
  • help: CAT --help
  • version: CAT --version
  • description: |

Contig Annotation Tool (CAT) and Bin Annotation Tool (BAT) are pipelines for the taxonomic classification of long DNA sequences and metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs/bins) of both known and (highly) unknown microorganisms, as generated by contemporary metagenomics studies

Testing CAT:

# Download test data
wget -nv --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/taylorpaisie/docker_containers/main/checkm2/1.0.2/burk_wgs.fa -O burk_wgs_pos_ctrl.fa

wget -nv --no-check-certificate https://merenlab.org/data/refining-mags/files/GN02_MAG_IV_B_1-contigs.fa -O GN02_MAG_IV_B_1-contigs.fa

# Prepare testing database
RUN mkdir -p db_tests && \
    gzip -d /CAT/tests/data/prepare/small.fa.gz && \
    CAT prepare --db_fasta /CAT/tests/data/prepare/small.fa \
    --acc2tax /CAT/tests/data/prepare/prot2acc.txt \
    --names /CAT/tests/data/prepare/names.dmp \
    --nodes /CAT/tests/data/prepare/nodes.dmp \
    --db_dir db_tests/

# Use CAT and BAT for taxonomic classification for both best datasets
# Running CAT on contigs
CAT contigs -c test/burk_wgs_pos_ctrl.fa \
    -d db_tests/db \
    -t db_tests/tax

# Running BAT on a set of MAGs
CAT bins -b test/GN02_MAG_IV_B_1-contigs.fa \
    -d db_tests/db \
    -t db_tests/tax
