BIT 577 QIIME2 Tutorial
Isabella Livingston
Abstract
Command line scripts for processing and analyzing 16S amplicon data using QIIME2.
Steps
Download conda through the QIIME2 website or miniconda website. After installation, download and install QIIME2
Activate Qiime environment:
conda activate qiime2-amplicon-2023.9
# change out to whatever version has been downloaded
Import data
qiime tools import \
--type 'SampleData[SequencesWithQuality]' \
--input-path
/path/to/your/sequencefiles \
--input-format CasavaOneEightSingleLanePerSampleDirFmt \
--output-path demux-single-end.qza
Check quality
qiime demux summarize --p-n 10000 --i-data demux-single-end.qza --o-visualization qual_viz
qiime tools view qual_viz.qzv
Denoise with DADA2
qiime dada2 denoise-single \
--i-demultiplexed-seqs demux-single-end.qza \
--p-trunc-len 200 \ #at what position you should trim your data based on the demux summary above
--o-table table.qza \ #ASV table
--o-representative-sequences rep-sets.qza \
--o-denoising-stats denoising-stats.qza
Filter Sequence Table
qiime feature-table summarize \
--i-table table.qza \
--o-visualization vis_table
qiime tools view vis_table.qzv
Align and Construct Phylogenetic Tree
qiime phylogeny align-to-tree-mafft-fasttree \ # program used for construction
--i-sequences rep-sets.qza \
--o-alignment aligned-rep-seqs.qza \
--o-masked-alignment masked-aligned-rep-seqs.qza \
--o-tree unrooted-tree.qza \
--o-rooted-tree rooted-tree.qza
Compute diversity measures (see QIIME2 for differences in alpha, beta, and emperor plots)
