anvi-summarize
Table of Contents
Summarizer for anvi'o pan or profile db's. Essentially, this program takes a collection id along with either a profile database and a contigs database or a pan database and a genomes storage and generates a static HTML output for what is described in a given collection. The output directory will contain almost everything any downstream analysis may need, and can be displayed using a browser without the need for an anvi'o installation. For this reason alone, reporting summary outputs as supplementary data with publications is a great idea for transparency and reproducibility.

Usage
Anvi-summarize lets you look at a comprehensive overview of your collection and its many statistics that anvi’o has calculated.
It will create a folder called SUMMARY that contains many different summary files, including an HTML output that conviently displays them all for you. This folder will contain anything a future user might use to import your collection, so it’s useful to send to others or transfer an entire anvi’o collection and all of its data.
In a little more detail, this program will
- generate fasta files containing your original contigs.
- estimate various stats about each of your bins, including competition, redundacy, and information about all of your hmm-hits
- generate various tab-delimited matrix files with information about your bins across your samples, including various statistics.
Running anvi-summarize
Running on a profile database
A standard run of anvi-summarize on a profile-db will look something like this:
anvi-summarize -c contigs-db \ -p profile-db \ -o MY_SUMMARY \ -C collection
This will name the output directory MY_SUMMARY instead of the standard SUMMARY.
When running on a profile database, you also have options to
- output very accurate (but intensely processed) coverage and detection data for each gene (using
--init-gene-coverages) - edit your contig names so that they contain the name of the bin that the contig is in (using
--reformat-contig-names) - also display the amino acid sequeunces for your gene calls. (using
--report-aa-seqs-for-gene-calls)
Running on a pan database
When running on a pan-db, you’ll want to instead provide the associated genomes storage database.
anvi-summarize -g genomes-storage-db \ -p pan-db \ -C collection
You can also choose to display DNA sequences for your gene clusters instead of amino acid sequences with the flag --report-DNA-sequences
Other notes
If you’re unsure what collections are in your database, you can run this program with the flag --list-collections or by running anvi-show-collections-and-bins.
You can also use the flag --quick-summary to get a less comprehensive summary with a much shorter processing time.
