Incremental-Protein-Search

We developed Incremental Protein Search highly inspired by iBlast(https://github.com/vtsynergy/iBLAST).

Overview

Incremental Protein Search is a tool designed to merge protein search results. It operates in two modes: default and extension, supporting .m8 and .m8e files respectively. The tool can be run locally, via Docker, or using Singularity.

Usage

Usage: ./run_merge.sh [MODE] [INPUT_FILE1] [INPUT_FILE2] [OUTPUT_FILE] [OPTIONAL_PARAMETERS]

Modes:
  --default    Use default mode for .m8 files
  --extension  Use extension mode for .m8e files

Arguments:
  INPUT_FILE1  Path to the first input file
  INPUT_FILE2  Path to the second input file
  OUTPUT_FILE  Path to the output merged file

Optional Parameters (for default mode only):
  PARAM1       First integer parameter (e.g., sequence length)
  PARAM2       Second integer parameter (e.g., sequence length)

Usage example

default mode

$ ./run_merge.sh --default source/blastp_astral_scope_result2.m8 source/blastp_astral_scope_result3.m8 source/merge_blastp_astral_scope_result23.m8 6205115 6211928

extension mode

$ ./run_merge.sh --extension source/blastp_astral_scope_result2.m8e source/blastp_astral_scope_result3.m8e source/merge_blastp_astral_scope_result23.m8e

Docker Hub

$ docker pull comhyunwoo/incremental-protein-search:latest


$ docker run --rm -v /home/user/data:/app/data comhyunwoo/incremental-protein-search:latest --default /app/data/blastp_astral_scope_result2.m8 /app/data/blastp_astral_scope_result3.m8 /app/data/merge_blastp_astral_scope_result23.m8 6205115 6211928  


$ docker run --rm -v /home/user/data:/app/data comhyunwoo/incremental-protein-search:latest --extension /app/data/blastp_astral_scope_result2.m8e /app/data/blastp_astral_scope_result3.m8e /app/data/merge_blastp_astral_scope_result23.m8e  

Singularity

$ singularity pull docker://comhyunwoo/incremental-protein-search:latest


$ singularity exec -B /home/user/data:/app/data incremental-protein-search_latest.sif /bin/bash -c "cd /app/Incremental-Protein-Search && ./run_merge.sh --default /app/data/blastp_astral_scope_result2.m8 /app/data/blastp_astral_scope_result3.m8 /app/data/merge_blastp_astral_scope_result23.m8 6205115 6211928"


$ singularity exec -B /home/user/data:/app/data incremental-protein-search_latest.sif /bin/bash -c "cd /app/Incremental-Protein-Search && ./run_merge.sh --extension /app/data/blastp_astral_scope_result2.m8e /app/data/blastp_astral_scope_result3.m8e /app/data/merge_blastp_astral_scope_result23.m8e"

This tool is particularly useful in protein sequence analysis workflows, especially when dealing with large datasets. The incremental search approach can significantly improve efficiency in processing and analyzing protein data. Its flexibility in execution methods (local, Docker, Singularity) makes it adaptable to various computational environments, from personal workstations to high-performance computing clusters.
