The K-mer Analysis Toolkit (KAT) contains a number of tools that analyse and compare K-mer spectra.

kat's Issues

Rename dist_analysis.py

As per recommendations in http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/content/2/1/15 I would suggest renaming

• dist_analysis.py => kat-dist_analysis
• jellyfishk => kat-jellyfish

configure.ac:8: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

I was trying to compile KAT on a ubuntu distribution (Linux minerva 3.13.0-96-generic #143-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 29 20:15:20 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) and came across the following error:

not able to make KAT-2.0.7

After a whole bunch of warnings, my make stopped with

I configured with

./configure --prefix=$PWD --with-boost-libdir=/apps/boost/1.58.0/lib --with-boost=/apps/boost/1.58.0

Was using cmake/2.8.12.1 initially so I thought it was about cmake so I then changed to cmake/3.0.1 and the same problem was still there.

I've added the following packages to my PATH, as well as autoconfig 2.69 and automake/1.15

 1) gnuplot/5.0.1   2) boost/1.58      3) gcc/5.2.0       4) cmake/3.0.1

Compiling with a non-standard python3 location

Is there a way to compile with a non-standard python location? I am using environment modules and it finds the python3 binary, but not the include or lib directories (consequently, configure fails as it is unable to find Python.h). I tried adding the variables CPPFLAGS, LIBS and LDFLAGS with no luck. Thanks in advance.

Fix release tarballs to contain generated configure script or fix README.md

Hi,
your README file states the tar.gz tarballs with sources contain configure but it is not true.

I have to call "autogen.sh ." to create the missing configure script, which is suboptimal for most users.

Remove dependency from Jellyfish threading

Update README.md to emphasize >=python-3.1 is required

Hi,
I haven't realized from the docs that python >=3.1 is required (at least configure checks for that).

configure error

Hi,

I am trying to install KAT, but end up with the following error after running ./configure:
sh ./configure --with-boost=~/tools/boost_1_55_0/

.....
checking for boostlib >= 1.52... yes
checking whether the Boost::Filesystem library is available... yes
configure: WARNING: Could not find a dynamic version of the library!
configure: error: Could not find any version of the library to link to

Is it a problem with boost or something else?

Thanks!

Don't install jellyfish include / man pages?

make install on kat seems to also install the jellyfish man and include folders.

These cause clashes with existing jellyfish installs.

Is there a way to not use the bundled jellyfish?

auto-detect "-C"

This really is nothing crucial, but I forget to set the flag properly again today, so it would help me coping with my stupidity.. It should be quite easy to parse that information, e.g. jellyfish info HASH contains canonical: yes/no.

Migrate to jellyfish 2

kat 1.x vs kat 2.x problem

I package software for homebrew-science, and I am not sure what to do with KAT.

Is kat 2,x a complete replacement for kat?

If not, can you change kat 2.x to use executables like "kat2" so it doesn't conflict?

Update README.md to emphasize that a bundled jellyfish-2.2.0 is included

Hi,
I was surprised that a bundled jellyfish is included in the source tarball. I have jellyfish already installed. Even more surprisingly you say elsewhere it is a "modified" version. I think you should provide a link to the patch with your changes and second, ensure the modified binary is installed under a new name so that it does not overwrite my current, vanilla jellyfish.

I noticed on K-mer coverage vs GC count plot, that the labels for Z and X are switched. X has the label # Distinct K-mers, and Z is k-mer multiplicity

Segmentation fault when running KAT

I I compiled with

1) boost/1.58      2) libtool/2.4.6   3) gnuplot/5.0.1   4)  gcc/5.1.0 

and finally manage to install KAT V2.0.8 but still couldn't run it :(
I need to run it on a HPC so I've written a job script and submitted it to the compute nodes.
However, it gave me the error message

Filter seq cannot use symlink fastq file

Started working on a Galaxy wrapper for filter seq and getting the following error when running the command : filter seq input.fastq -o reads db.jtf

Error: Unknown file extension of /tmp/tmpNs8Ym6/files/000/dataset_1.dat: iostream error

input.fastq is a soft link to /tmp/tmpNs8Ym6/files/000/dataset_1.dat . In Galaxy, all datasets have the same extension of .dat and cannot be changed. Is there a workaround that I am missing?

Compiling jellyfish fails with clang: error: variable length array of non-POD element type 'std::__1::thread'

The workaround is to compile with GCC, but it would be nice to be able to compile with clang. Is it possible to disable compiling jellyfish and instead used the copy of jellyfish that I already have installed, possibly with a --with-jellyfish option?

Here's the failed build log:

kat 2.0.6 generating invalid Makefile (spaces not tabs)

@bjclavijo
Using the 2.0.6 .tar.gz from the Releases page on Linuxbrew / RHEL 7 produces this error:

% ./configure

% make
Makefile:930: *** missing separator.  Stop.

I decided to run autoreconf -i to check if it was something local, but same problem:

 Makefile:941: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Both sections seem to point to this part:

install-data-hook:
    cd $(DESTDIR)/deps; \
    cat $(SEQAN_ARCHIVE) | gunzip | $(TAR) -H gnu --list > uninstall_manifest.txt; \
    cat $(SEQAN_ARCHIVE) | gunzip | $(TAR) -H gnu --no-same-owner --extract; \
    rm --force $(SEQAN_ARCHIVE); \
    cat uninstall_manifest.txt | sed --expression='s/^\|$$/"/g' | xargs chmod a=rX,u+w

uninstall-local:
    cd $(DESTDIR)/deps; \
    cat uninstall_manifest.txt | sed --expression='s/ /\\ /g' | xargs rm --force; \
    rm --force uninstall_manifest.txt

It appears the commands for these targets are using spaces instead of tabs which is invalid.

If I manually replace those 2 first lines with a tab the Makefile is syntactically correct.

Segmentation fault when showing options

Compiled on centos 6 with gcc 4.8.2, boost 1.60.0, libtool 2.2.6, python 3.5.1 with matplotlib 1.5.1.

I get this:

Kmer Analysis Toolkit (KAT) V2.1.1

Usage: kat hist [options] (<input>)+

Create an histogram of k-mer occurrences from the input.

Create an histogram with the number of k-mers having a given count, derived from the input, which can take the form of a single jellyfish hash, or one or more FastA or FastQ files. In bucket 'i' are tallied the k-mers which have a count 'c' satisfying 'low+i*inc <= c < low+(i+1)'. Buckets in the output are labeled by the low end point (low+i).
The last bucket in the output behaves as a catchall: it tallies all k-mers with a count greater or equal to the low end point of this bucket.
This tool is very similar to the "histo" tool in jellyfish itself.  The primary difference being that the output contains metadata that make the histogram easier for the user to plot.

Options:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

It also occurs with previous versions of KAT.

Many thanks

Makefile: spaces instead of tabs

I just tried to make KAT from the latest pull. After

./configure --prefix=$HOME/software/kat --with-boost=$HOME/software/boost;
make

I ran into Makefile:918: *** missing separator. Stop. Looks like you caught some leading spaces in install-data-hook: and uninstall-local: section.

gcp plot as .ps/.pdf

Is it possible to get the kat gcp plot as .ps/.pdf? I tried to use kat plot but failed to load the kat-gcp.mx matrix.

Kat plot density x, y, and z parameters are not working.

I'm using KAT/2.0.6 and trying to change the x y and z axis maximums is not working. It produces the default x,y,z=1000.

Paired-end in Filter seq

Is there a way to make filter seq work with paired-end data and keep the data paired-end?

kat-sect-counts.cvg - terminal kmers missing

Hi Dan,

I'm currently working with sects per sequence coverage count files and noticed that each record is 8 counts short at the end. I'm using a 19mer hash, I have not tested, if the number changes with other kmer sizes.

One pass filter seq on multiple fasta file

Our lab is trying to determine which plasmid sequences to filter in or out for more time consuming down stream analyses based on the filter seq command.

If we pass our multiple fasta file with all the sequences, it treats as a single filter target. If we split our fasta file up, we are suddenly running filter seq thousand of times on the same input fastq files. Is it possible to either add another column in --stats that indicate which target it in the multiple fasta file?

problems when running KAT in COMP mode

Dear developers,
I'm trying to run KAT COMP using the outputs of jellyfish count and the following error comes up:
Kmer Analysis Toolkit (KAT) V2.1.0

Running KAT in COMP mode

I've installed the latest version of KAT and all dependencies. I assume that it is not a memory problem, since jellyfish run well and KAT says that the hashes have been loaded into memory. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Javier

I think this should say 'or' rather than 'of'.

This is in kat 2.1.0 beta2 (kat plot spectra-mx)

Symlink to fasta read in as hash

Hi Dan,

I think the issue here is my file which is a symlink to a symlink of a fasta file is being read in as a jellyfish hash. (I'm not certain is the cause, but it's the most likely I came up with given the error)

Pollution of PATH with "jellyfish" exe

make install adds jellyfish into the same bin folder as kat.

This will cause problems with local jellyfish installs.

Please install it in a libexec folder and tell kat to execute that version or rename it to kat.jellyfish or something similarly unique and non-clashing.

Running KAT in COMP mode
------------------------

KAT COMP completed.
Total runtime: 0.0s

input_handler.cc(59): Throw in function void kat::InputHandler::validateInput()
Dynamic exception type: boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<kat::JellyfishException>
std::exception::what: std::exception
[kat::JellyfishError*] = Could not find input file at: foo; please check the path and try again.

Any idea what my issue is? Something with bfs::path?
