anvi-get-aa-counts [program]

Fetches the number of times each amino acid occurs from a contigs database in a given bin, set of contigs, or set of genes.

Can provide

aa-frequencies-txt

Can consume

splits-txt contigs-db profile-db collection

Usage

Similarly to anvi-get-codon-frequencies, this program counts the number of times each amino acid occurs in a given sequence, whether that’s a collection, bin, set of contigs (listed in a splits-txt), or a set of genes. The output of this is a aa-frequencies-txt.

There are four possible things you can count the amino acid frequencies in:

• All of the contigs in a contigs-db
• A series of bins
• A list of contigs
• A list of genes

Examples for each are below.

Option 1: all contigs in a contigs-db

To count the amino acids in all of the contigs in a contigs-db, you can just provide the contigs-db of interest, as so:

Option 2: a series of bins in a collection

To count the amino acid frequencies for a series of bins, you’ll need to provide three additional parameters: the profile-db that you used for binning, the collection that your bins are contained in, and a text file that describes which bins you are interested in. This text file should have only one bin ID per line.

So, your run would look something like this:

my_favorite_bins.txt would look something like this:

bin_00001
bin_00004

Option 3: a list of contigs

Just provide a splits-txt file that lists the contigs you want to look at.

Option 4: a list of genes

Just provide a list of gene caller ids, straight into the terminal, like so:
