Abstract

Summary: Ribosome occupancy measurements enable protein abundance estimation and infer mechanisms of translation. Recent studies have revealed that sequence read lengths in ribosome profiling data are highly variable and carry critical information. Consequently, data analyses require the computation and storage of multiple metrics for a wide range of ribosome footprint lengths. We developed a software ecosystem including a new efficient binary file format named ‘ribo’. Ribo files store all essential data grouped by ribosome footprint lengths. Users can assemble ribo files using our RiboFlow pipeline that processes raw ribosomal profiling sequencing data. RiboFlow is highly portable and customizable across a large number of computational environments with built-in capabilities for parallelization. We also developed interfaces for writing and reading ribo files in the R (RiboR) and Python (RiboPy) environments. Using RiboR and RiboPy, users can efficiently access ribosome profiling quality control metrics, generate essential plots, and carry out analyses. Altogether, these components create a complete software ecosystem for researchers to study translation through ribosome profiling.

Figures

Fig. 1. (A) Overview of the Ribo Software Ecosystem. (B) The internal structure of a ribo file is depicted. (C–E) Example plots generated by RiboPy from two experiments denoted as E1 and E2. (C) Read length distribution of coding region mapping reads was plotted. The y-axis corresponds to the percentage of each read length. (D) RPFs mapping to the vicinity of the translation stop site are aggregated across genes to display a metagene plot. The y-axis corresponds to reads per million. (E) Percentage of reads mapping to different transcript regions are shown. Top (green) and bottom (blue) regions account for a small fraction of the data as they represent the 3′ and 5′ UTR mapping RPFs, respectively. Middle bar (orange) depicts the percentage of CDS mapping RPFs

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
