GeCo

Compress and analyze genomic sequences. As a compression tool, GeCo is able to provide additional compression gains over several top specific tools, while as an analysis tool, GeCo is able to determine absolute measures, namely for many distance computations, and local measures, such as the information content contained in each element, providing a way to quantify and locate specific genomic events. GeCo can afford:
  • reference-free compression
  • referential compression.

INSTALLATION

Cmake is needed for installation (http://www.cmake.org/). You can download it directly from http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html or use an appropriate packet manager. In the following instructions we show the procedure to install, compile and run GeCo:

STEP 1

Download, install and resolve conflicts.

Linux

sudo apt-get install cmake git
git clone https://github.com/pratas/geco.git
cd geco/src/
cmake .
make

Alternatively, you can install (without cmake and only for linux) using

wget https://github.com/pratas/geco/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd geco-master/src/
mv Makefile.linux Makefile
make

OS X

Install brew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

only if you do not have it. After type:

brew install cmake
brew install wget
brew install gcc48
wget https://github.com/pratas/geco/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd geco-master/src/
cmake .
make

With some versions you might need to create a link to cc or gcc (after the brew install gcc48 command), namely

sudo mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-old   # gcc backup
sudo mv /usr/bin/cc /usr/bin/cc-old     # cc backup
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 /usr/bin/gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 /usr/bin/cc

In some versions, the gcc48 is installed over /usr/local/bin, therefore you might need to substitute the last two commands by the following two:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.8 /usr/bin/gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.8 /usr/bin/cc

Windows

In windows use cygwin (https://www.cygwin.com/) and make sure that it is included in the installation: cmake, make, zcat, unzip, wget, tr, grep (and any dependencies). If you install the complete cygwin packet then all these will be installed. After, all steps will be the same as in Linux.

EXECUTION

Run GeCo

Run GeCo using (lazy) level 5:

./GeCo -l 5 File.seq

PARAMETERS

To see the possible options type

./GeCo

or

./GeCo -h

These will print the following options:

                         with the respective information content. If    
                         the file is FASTA or FASTQ it will only use    
                         the "ACGT" (genomic) data,

Report bugs to <{pratas,ap,pjf}@ua.pt>. 

To get several running examples type:

./GeCo -x

This will print the following:

                                                                       
GeCo running examples:                                                 
                                                                       
Considerations: the decompression is symmetric, therefore the same     
resources, namely time and memory will be used as in the compression.  
The memory used, after creating the models, will be constant, even in  
deeper context models (cache-hash context model).
