PyDamage

Pydamage, is a Python software to automate the process of contig damage identification and estimation. After modelling the ancient DNA damage using the C to T transitions, Pydamage uses a likelihood ratio test to discriminate between truly ancient, and modern contigs originating from sample contamination.

Installation

With conda (recommended)

conda install -c bioconda pydamage

With pip

pip install pydamage

Install from source to use the development version

Using pip

pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/maxibor/pydamage.git@dev

By cloning in a dedicated conda environment

git clone git@github.com:maxibor/pydamage.git
cd pydamage
git checkout dev
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate pydamage
pip install -e .

Quick start

pydamage --outdir result_directory analyze aligned.bam

Note that if you specify --outdir, it has to be before the PyDamage subcommand, example: pydamage --outdir test filter pydamage_results.csv
