MiXCR v3.0
Major changes
- New command
assembleContigs
for assembling longest possible contig TCR/IG receptor sequences from several intersecting sequences containing clonal sequence. E.g. assemble all possible sequence information outside CDR3. - New command
analyze
for running optimized mixcr pipelines with one single command. Two pipelines which cover most practical cases are implementedanalyze amplicon
andanalyze shotgun
. - New file format
.clna
for storing clones with alignments including alignments <> clones mapping - Complete refactoring of command line interface
- New option
--resume
for resuming aborted / partially completed execution - Implemented
-nFeatureImputed
and-aaFeatureImputed
to export gene feature sequences imputing unavailable regions from germline sequences up to the full feature sequecn (marking imputed regions lowercase) - LZ4 based compression for
.vdjca
/.clna
files, 3 ~ 4 fold file size reduction (built into file formats, enabled by default) - Species option
--species
is now mandatory #342 - Removed
--chains
option foralign
action #292 - Added export field
-positionInReference
- Now export fields like
-nMutationsRelative
supports alignment-attached gene features (e.g. this allows to export all mutations of V gene inside CDR3 sub-regions:-nMutationsRelative VCDR3Part VRegionWithP
) - Now
align
action prints library-level warnings and citation notice - Refactored command line interface of
exportReadsForClones
- Dropped support for Java 7
Minor changes
Installation
To install this version with Homebrew use mixcr3
formulae. If you have previous mixcr version installed with homebrew, unlink it before installation:
brew unlink mixcr
and install MiXCR 3.0
brew install mixcr3
We created separate formulae for the new version, because it contains too many breaking changes and may interrupt normal work if update from MiXCR 2.* to MiXCR 3.* happen automatically during brew upgrade
