Notes for ZIBRA project

Excel "schema"

One sample per row. Missing or inapplicable fields should be left blank. Highlighting is okay, but do not include any textual notes except for in the notes field. Suggest blue for positive RT and orange for microcephaly.

  • strain: This study / strain ID in the form of ZBRA1, ZBRB1, etc... This is the primary key of the table and is required for every sample.
  • sample_number: This is the sample number from this collection location, 1, 2, 3, etc...
  • lab: Collection lab, lacen_natal, lacen_joao_pessoa, fiocruz_recife, etc...
  • lab_id: This is LACEN sample ID (or other institution sample ID). Should be a 12-digit number. This very important to be able to link sample to clinical metadata. Each LACEN uses its own IDs.
  • rt_positive: Whether RT-PCR is positive for Zika, true or false.
  • ct: Ct value of positive RT-PCR result.
  • extraction_date: Date of RNA extraction.
  • amplicon_concentration: Purity of DNA after PCR amplification. Measured in ng/ul.
  • minion_barcodes: List of MinION library/barcodes associated with sample separated by commas, for example 2_nb08,2_nb09.
  • country: All samples should be brazil.
  • state: Name of Brazilian state of patient origin. Should be snakecase without accents, bahia, rio_grande_do_norte, etc...
  • municipality: Name of municipality of patient origin. Should be snakecase without accents, canguaretama, natal, sao_goncalo_do_amarante, etc...
  • collection_date: Collection date of the sample. Should be formatted as 2015-07-27 (YYYY-MM-DD). If a sample lacks complete date information, enter as 2015-07-XX (day unknown) or 2015-XX-XX (month and day unknown).
  • onset_date: Date of symptom onset. Should be formatted as 2015-07-27 (YYYY-MM-DD).
  • host_species: Host species. Human samples are human.
  • patient_age: Patient age, 30y, 6m, 10d, etc...
  • patient_sex: Patient sex, male or female.
  • pregnant: Whether the patient was pregnant, true or false.
  • pregnancy_week: Week of pregnancy, as number 10, 12, etc....
  • pregnancy_trimester: Trimester of pregnancy 1, 2, 3.
  • microcephaly: Whether sample was linked to microcephaly, true or false.
  • sample_type: Type of sample, serum, urine, etc...
  • symptoms: Free-form text of clinical symptoms.
  • notes: Free-form text for notes associated with this sample.

Modifications to the schema should be made to zibra_metadata_upload.py and zibra_download.py.

Sample IDs

  • ZBRA1 is sample 1 from location A (LACEN Natal).
  • ZBRB1 is sample 1 from location B (LACEN Joao Pessoa).

Database commands

Remember to install rethinkdb bindings.

Upload metadata with:

python2 vdb/zibra_metadata_upload.py -db vdb -tb zibra --fname zibra.tsv --ftype tsv --source zibra --virus zika --country brazil --authors ZiBRA --local

Upload sequences with:

python2 vdb/zibra_upload.py -db vdb -tb zibra --fname minion.fasta --ftype fasta --source zibra --virus zika --locus genome --local

Download metadata with:

python2 vdb/zibra_download.py -db vdb -tb zibra --fstem zibra --ftype tsv --local

Download just metadata for samples from natal:

python2 vdb/zibra_download.py -db vdb -tb zibra --fstem zibra --ftype tsv --select location:natal --local

Push local rethinkdb vdb.zibra documents to remote vdb.zibra rethinkdb table:

python2 vdb/sync.py --push --local_table vdb.zibra --remote_table vdb.zibra

Pull remote rethinkdb vdb.zibra documents to local vdb.zibra rethinkdb table:

python2 vdb/sync.py --pull --local_table vdb.zibra --remote_table vdb.zibra

Download latest metadata for consensus builds

Remember to install rethinkdb bindings.

From fauna/ run:

source environment_rethink.sh
python2 vdb/zibra_download.py -db vdb -tb zibra --fstem zibra --ftype tsv

This will result in the file fauna/data/zibra.tsv that has all necessary metadata. This file can be searched for 2_NB07, etc... in the minion_barcode column to match MinION output to metadata, including strain name.
