palmid
is a containerized analysis suite and R-package for the classification of viral RNA-dependent RNA Polymerases (RdRP) based on the palmprint sub-domain and the RNA viral palmprint database palmdb
.
RdRP Palmprint
=============================================
The `palmprint` is an ~100 aa segment of RdRP
encompassing three conserved catalytic motifs
"A", "B", and "C" within the palm sub-domain.
palmID
is available as a free web-app at https://serratus.io/palmid

Input a .fa
sequence file containing an RdRP. Here we show a 'microassembly' open-reading-frame from a sequencing library of Waxsystermes termites (SRR9968562
) as derived from the Serratus
: Finding Novel Viruses Tutorial.

palmscan
will analyze the RdRP and a .txt
report shows the catalytic motifs and their scores. It will also report the amino acid sequence "trimmed" to its palmprint sub-sequence.

The palmid
R package visualizes this data, showing the relative palmprint scores and length-distributions for the input sequence vs a control set 15,000 GenBank RdRP palmprints in palmdb
.
data/waxsys_pp.png
Input RdRP palmprint is aligned against palmdb
using diamond
to retrieve similar viruses. The data/waxsys.pro
alignment file is visualized in the palmid
R package to show the relative similarity of RdRP palmprints.
data/waxsys_pro.png
Known virus taxonomy is extracted from palmdb
-matches (when available) and the species/family/phylum are shown as a function of percent-identity to the input sequence.
data/waxsys_tax.png
A multiple sequence alignment of the top 10 palmprint hits is produced for manual validation. A central observation here is that the A,B,C catalytic motifs align to one another.

The palmid.Rmd
notebook performs an analysis of the detection/alignment files produced above. Palmprints matching the input-sequence are cross-referenced against all processed SRA sequencing libraries. Geo-spatial data (when available) and timeline of the matching sequencing runs are reported. A full example of the output is available here
data/waxsys_geo.png
The organism reported with each sequencing run is conglomerated into a wordcloud to visualize possible hosts. Current default will report the organisms associated with all palmprint-matches, for specificity to the input virus species use a threshold of 90%.
