subtom_msa

The main MSA pipeline process script of subTOM.

This subtomogram classification script uses nine MATLAB compiled scripts below:

Options

Directories

scratch_dir: Absolute path to the folder with the input to be processed. Other paths are relative to this one.
local_dir: Absolute path to the folder on a group share, if the scratch directory is cleaned and deleted regularly this can set a local directory to which the important results will be copied. If this is not needed it can be skipped with the option skip_local_copy below.
mcr_cache_dir: Absolute path to MCR directory for the processing.
exec_dir: Directory for executables

Variables

cluster_exec: Cluster executable.
par_eigcoeff_exec: Parallel Eigencoefficient executable.
eigcoeff_exec: Final Eigencoefficient executable.
eigvol_exec: Eigenvolume Calculation executable.
preali_exec: Parallel Subtomogram prealign executable.
par_xmatrix_exec: Parallel X-Matrix executable.
xmatrix_exec: Final X-Matrix executable.
sum_exec: Parallel Summing executable
avg_exec: Final Averaging executable
motl_dump_exec: MOTL dump executable

Memory Options

mem_free: The amount of memory the job requires. This variable determines whether a number of CPUs will be requested to be dedicated for each job. At 24G, one half of the CPUs on a node will be dedicated for each of the processes (12 CPUs). At 48G, all of the CPUs on the node will be dedicated for each of the processes (24 CPUs).
mem_max: The upper bound on the amount of memory the job is allowed to use. If any of the processes request or require more memory than this, the queue will kill the process. This is more of an option for safety of the cluster to prevent the user from crashing the cluster requesting too much memory.

Other Cluster Options

job_name: The job name prefix that will be used for the cluster submission scripts, log files, and error logs for the processing. Be careful that this name is unique because previous submission scripts, logs, and error logs with the same job name prefix will be overwritten in the case of a name collision.
array_max: The maximum number of jobs per cluster submission script. Cluster submission scripts work using the array feature common to queuing systems, and this value is the maximum array size used in a script. If the user requests more batches of processing than this value, then the submission scripts will be split into files of up to array_max jobs.
max_jobs: The maximum number of jobs for alignment. If the number of batches / exceeds this value the script will immediately quit.
run_local: If the user wants to skip the cluster and run the job locally, this value should be set to 1.
skip_local_copy: Set this option to 1 to skip the copying of data to local_dir.

Parallelization Options

iteration: The index of the references to generate : input will be all_motl_fn_prefix_iteration.em (define as integer e.g. iteration=1)
num_xmatrix_prealign_batch: Number of batches to split the parallel particle prealignment for the X-Matrix calculation into. If you are not doing prealignment you can ignore this option.
num_xmatrix_batch: Number of batches to split the parallel X-Matrix calculation job into.
num_eig_coeff_prealign_batch: Number of batches to split the parallel particle prealignment for the Eigencoefficients calculations into. If you are not doing prealignment you can ignore this option.
num_eig_coeff_batch: Number of batches to split the parallel Eigencoefficient calculation into.
num_avg_batch: The number of batches to split the parallel subtomogram averaging job into.

Subtomogram Classification Workflow Options

X-Matrix Options

high_pass_fp: High pass filter cutoff (in transform units (pixels): calculate as (box_size * pixelsize) / (resolution_real) (define as integer).
high_pass_sigma: High pass filter falloff sigma (in transform units (pixels): describes a Gaussian sigma for the falloff of the high-pass filter past the cutoff above.
low_pass_fp: Low pass filter (in transform units (pixels): calculate as (box_size * pixelsize) / (resolution_real) (define as integer).
low_pass_sigma: Low pass filter falloff sigma (in transform units (pixels): describes a Gaussian sigma for the falloff of the low-pass filter past the cutoff above.
nfold: Symmetry to apply to each pair of particle and reference in X-Matrix calculation, if no symmetry nfold=1 (define as integer e.g. nfold=3).
xmatrix_prealign: If you want to pre-align all of the particles to speed up the X-Matrix calculation, set the following to 1, otherwise the particles will be aligned during the computation.

X-Matrix File Options

xmatrix_all_motl_fn_prefix: Relative path and name of the concatenated motivelist of all particles (e.g. allmotl_iter.em , the variable will be written as a string e.g. xmatrix_all_motl_fn_prefix=’sub-directory/allmotl’).
xmatrix_fn_prefix: Relative path and name of the X-Matrix.
ptcl_fn_prefix: Relative path and name of the subtomograms (e.g. part_n.em , the variable will be written as a string e.g. ptcl_fn_prefix=’sub-directory/part’).
mask_fn: Relative path and name of the classification mask. This should be a binary mask as correlations are done in real-space, and calculations will only be done using voxels passed by the mask, so smaller masks will run faster. If you want to use the default spherical mask set mask_fn to ‘none’.

Eigenvolumes Options

num_eigs: The number of Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues to calculate.
eigs_iterations: The following allows you to adjust the number of iterations to use in the decomposition. If you want to use the default number of iterations leave this set to ‘default’.
eigs_tolerance: The following allows you to adjust the convergence tolerance of the decomposition calculation. If you want to use the default tolerance leave this set to ‘default’.

Eigenvolumes File Options

eig_vec_fn_prefix: Relative path and name of the Eigenvectors.
eig_val_fn_prefix: Relative path and name of the Eigenvalues.
eig_vol_fn_prefix: Relative path and name of the Eigenvolumes.

Eigencoefficient Options

apply_weight: If the following is set to 1, the Eigenvolume will have the particles missing-wedge weight applied to it before the correlation is calculated.
tomo_row: Which row in the motl file contains the correct tomogram number. Usually row 5 and 7 both correspond to the correct value and can be used interchangeably, but there are instances when 5 contains a sequential ordered value starting from 1, while 7 contains the correct corresponding tomogram.
eig_coeff_prealign: If you want to pre-align all of the particles to speed up the Eigencoefficient calculation, set the following to 1, otherwise the particles will be aligned during the computation.

Eigencoefficient File Options

eig_coeff_all_motl_fn_prefix: Relative path and name of the concatenated motivelist to project onto the Eigenvolumes. This can be a larger motivelist than the one used to calculate the X-Matrix and Eigenvolumes.
eig_coeff_fn_prefix: Relative path and name of the Eigencoefficients.
weight_fn_prefix: Relative path and name of the weight file, if you are not applying the weight to the Eigenvolumes this can be left alone.

Clustering Options

cluster_type: The following determines which algorithm will be used to cluster the determined Eigencoefficients. The valid options are K-means clustering, ‘kmeans’, Hierarchical Ascendent Clustering using a Ward Criterion, ‘hac’, and a Gaussian Mixture Model, ‘gaussmix’.
eig_idxs: Determines which Eigencoefficients are used to cluster. The format should be a semicolon-separated list that also supports ranges with a dash (-), for example 1-5;7;15-19 would select the first five Eigencoefficients, the seventh and the fifteenth through the nineteenth for classification. If it is left as “all” all coefficients will be used.
num_classes: How many classes should the particles be clustered into.

Clustering File Options

cluster_all_motl_fn_prefix: Relative path and name of the concatenated motivelist of the output classified particles.

Averaging File Options

ref_fn_prefix: Relative path and name prefix of the reference volumes (e.g. ref_iter.em, the variable will be written as a string e.g. ref_fn_prefix=’sub-directory/ref’)
weight_sum_fn_prefix: Relative path and name prefix of the partial weight files.
