Output format

MacSyFinder provides different types of output files. At each run, MacSyFinder creates a new folder, whose name is based on a fixed prefix and a random suffix, for instance “macsyfinder-20130128_08-57-46”. MacSyFinder output files are stored in this run-specific folder.

Hmmer results’ output files

Raw Hmmer outputs are provided, as long with processed tabular outputs that include hits filtered as specified by the user. For instance, the Hmmer search for SctC homologs with the corresponding profile will result in the creation of two output files: “sctC.search_hmm.out” for the raw HMMER output file and “sctC.res_hmm_extract” for the output file after processing/filtering of the HMMER results by MacSyFinder.

The processed output file “sctC.res_hmm_extract” recalls on the first lines the parameters used for hits filtering and relevant information on the matches, as in this example:

# gene: sctC extract from /Users/bob/macsyfinder_results/
      macsyfinder-20130128_08-57-46/sctC.search_hmm.out hmm output

Note

Each tabular output file contains a header line describing each column in the output.

Output files for the “ordered replicon(s)” search modes

These output files are provided when MacSyFinder search proceeds on a set of proteins that are deemed to follow the order of their genes on replicons. This corresponds to the two search modes gembase and ordered_replicon.

Systems detection results

Different types of output files are provided, human-readable files “.txt”, and tabulated files “.tsv”. For the latter, headers are provided with the content of the lines in the file.

  • best_solution.tsv - This file contains the best solution found by MacSyFinder in terms of systems detected, under the form of a per-component, tabulated report file. A solution consists in a set of compatible systems (no components’ overlap allowed). If multiple solutions showed a maximal score, the solution maximizing

    1. the number of components in systems and

    2. the number of systems detected is proposed.

    To see potential other best solutions (in case several obtained the same highest score), see file all_best_solutions.tsv.

    To see all possible, candidate systems without further processing, see files all_systems.txt and all_systems.tsv.

    The best_solution.tsv file is the most similar to former V1 file macsyfinder.report.

  • all_systems.txt - This file describes the search process of all possible candidate systems given the definitions in systems’ models - without processing of the potential overlaps between candidate systems. This set of possible candidate systems are also given under the form of a tabulated file in all_systems.tsv.

  • rejected_clusters.txt - This file lists candidate clusters of systems’ components that were rejected by MacSyFinder during the search process, and were thus not assigned to a candidate system.

  • all_best_solutions.tsv - This file contains all possible best solutions under the form of a per-component, tabulated report file. To retrieve a single best solution as proposed by MacSyFinder, see file best_solution.tsv.

  • all_systems.tsv - This file contains all possible candidate systems given the definitions - without processing of the potential overlaps between candidate systems, under the form of a per-component, tabulated report file. It corresponds to the tabulated version of the all_systems.txt file.

all_systems.txt

The file starts with some comments:

  • the version of MacSyFinder used

  • the command line used to produce this file

Then for each replicon, the systems detected are listed along with their description:

  • system_id - the unique identifier of a system

  • model - the model assigned to this system

  • replicon - the name of the replicon harbouring the system

  • clusters - the clusters composition of this system

    • each clusters is a list of tuple

    • each tuple is composed of:

      • the name of the matching gene(s) in the replicon

      • the name of the corresponding gene profile(s)

      • the position of the corresponding sequence(s) along the replicon

  • occurrence - the average number of occurrences of each components of the system (as a potential proxy to estimate whether there’s the genetic potential for multiple systems in one)

  • wholeness - the percentage of the model’s components that were found in this system

  • loci nb - the number of different loci constituting this system

  • score - the score of the system. See here for more details

  • systems components - the number of occurrences of each model components in parenthesis the name of the matching profile in square brackets the name of other putative systems that would involve this gene

all_systems.tsv

This corresponds to the tabulated version of the systems listed in all_systems.txt. Each line corresponds to a “hit” that has been assigned to a detected system. It includes:

  • replicon - the name of the replicon it belongs to

  • hit_id - the unique identifier of the hit

  • gene_name - the name of the component identified by the hit

  • hit_pos - the position of the sequence in the replicon

  • model_fqn - the model fully-qualified name

  • sys_id - the unique identifier attributed to the detected system

  • sys_loci - the number of loci

  • sys_wholeness - the wholeness of the system

  • sys_score - the system score

  • sys_occ - the estimated number of system occurrences that could be potentially “filled” with this system’s occurrence, based on the average number of each component found. A proxy for the genetic potential ton encode several systems from the set of components found in this one occurrence.

  • hit_gene_ref - the gene in the model whose this hit plays the role of

  • hit_status - the status of the component in the assigned system’s definition

  • hit_seq_len - the length of the protein sequence matched by this hit

  • hit_i_eval - Hmmer statistics, the independent-evalue

  • hit_score - Hmmer score

  • hit_profile_cov - the percentage of the profile covered by the alignment with the sequence

  • hit_seq_cov - the percentage of the sequence covered by the alignment with the profile

  • hit_begin_match - the position in the sequence where the profile match begins

  • hit_end_match - the position in the sequence where the profile match ends

  • used_in - whether the hit could be used in another system’s occurrence

This file can be easily parsed using the Python pandas library.

import pandas as pd

systems = pd.read_cvs("path/to/systems.tsv", sep='\t', comment='#')

Note

each system reported is separated from the others with a blank line to ease human reading. These lines are ignored during the parsing with pandas.

best_solution.tsv and all_best_solutions.tsv

Since MacSyFinder 2.0, a combinatorial exploration of solutions using sets of systems found is performed. We call best solution, the combination of systems offering the highest score.

The best_solution.tsv and all_best_solutions.tsv files have the same structure as the file all_systems.tsv, except that there is an extra column sol_id which is a solution identifier added to the file all_best_solutions.tsv. The systems that have the same “sol_id” belong to a same solution.

As the files have the same structure as all_systems.tsv, they can also be parsed with pandas as shown above.

For the description of the fields of best_solution.tsv, see above those of the all_systems.tsv file.

For the all_best_solutions.tsv, each line corresponds to a “hit” that has been assigned to a detected system. It includes:

  • sol_id - the name of the solution it is part of

  • replicon - the name of the replicon it belongs to

  • hit_id - the unique identifier of the hit

  • gene_name - the name of the component identified by the hit

  • hit_pos - the position of the sequence in the replicon

  • model_fqn - the model fully-qualified name

  • sys_id - the unique identifier attributed to the detected system

  • sys_loci - the number of loci

  • sys_wholeness - the wholeness of the system

  • sys_score - the system score

  • sys_occ - the estimated number of system occurrences that could be potentially “filled” with this system’s occurrence, based on the average number of each component found. A proxy for the genetic potential ton encode several systems from the set of components found in this one occurrence.

  • hit_gene_ref - the gene in the model whose this hit plays the role of

  • hit_status - the status of the component in the assigned system’s definition

  • hit_seq_len - the length of the protein sequence matched by this hit

  • hit_i_eval - Hmmer statistics, the independent-evalue

  • hit_score - Hmmer score

  • hit_profile_cov - the percentage of the profile covered by the alignment with the sequence

  • hit_seq_cov - the percentage of the sequence covered by the alignment with the profile

  • hit_begin_match - the position in the sequence where the profile match begins

  • hit_end_match - the position in the sequence where the profile match ends

  • used_in - whether the hit could be used in another system’s occurrence

rejected_clusters.txt

This file records all clusters or cluster combinations (if the “multi_loci” search mode is on) which have been discarded and the reason why they were not selected as systems.

The header is composed of the MacSyFinder version and the command line used followed by the description of the cluster(s). The list of the hits composing the cluster is presented at the end of the cluster or clusters’ combination, followed by the reason why it has been discarded.

Output files for the “unordered replicon” search mode

Systems detection results

As for ordered replicons, several output files are provided.

  • all_possible_systems.txt - This file contains the description of candidate systems found.

  • all_possible_systems.tsv - The same information as in all_possible_systems.txt but in the tabulated tsv format.

  • uncomplete_systems.txt - This file contains occurrences for systems that did not complete models’ definitions and that were therefore not kept as candidate systems.

In this unordered search mode, there is no notion of order or distance of the components along the replicon. The clustering step is skipped by MacSyFinder, and it is therefore “only” checked for each type of system being searched whether there is the genetic potential to fulfil its model definition.

all_systems.txt

This file contains potential systems for unordered replicon in human readable format.

In this file, for each component of each searched system’s model, we report the number of hits found. For the description of the fields, see above.

Warning

In this mode the forbidden genes are reported here to the user. As we do not know if they co-localize (cluster) with the other genes they could be present in the replicon, yet far away - or very close on the contrary - to the potential system.

Logs and configuration files

Three specific output files are systematically built, whatever the search mode, to store information on MacSyFinder’s execution:

  • macsyfinder.conf - contains the configuration information of the run. It is useful to recover all the parameters used for the run.

  • macsyfinder.log - the log file, contains raw information on the run. Please send it to us with any bug report.
