This repository includes the implementation of 'DNABERT: pre-trained Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers model for DNA-language in genome'. Please cite our paper if you use the models or codes. The repo is still actively under development, so please kindly report if there is any issue encountered.
In this package, we provides resources including: source codes of the DNABERT model, usage examples, pre-trained models, fine-tuned models and visulization tool. This package is still under development, as more features will be included gradually. Training of DNABERT consists of general-purposed pre-training and task-specific fine-tuning. As a contribution of our project, we released the pre-trained models in this repository. We extended codes from huggingface and adapted them to the DNA scenario.
The second generation of DNABERT, named DNABERT-2, is publically available at https://github.com/Zhihan1996/DNABERT_2. DNABERT-2 is trained on multi-species genomes and is more efficient, powerful, and easy to use than its first generation. We also provide simpler usage of DNABERT in the new package. A comprehensive benchmark Genome Understanding Evaluation (GUE), which contains

We recommend you to build a python virtual environment with Anaconda. Also, please make sure you have at least one NVIDIA GPU with Linux x86_64 Driver Version >= 410.48 (compatible with CUDA 10.0). We applied distributed training on 8 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti with 11 GB graphic memory, and the batch size corresponds to it. If you use GPU with other specifications and memory sizes, consider adjusting your batch size accordingly.

Please see the template data at /example/sample_data/pre. If you are trying to pre-train DNABERT with your own data, please process you data into the same format as it. Note that the sequences are in kmer format, so you will need to convert your sequences into that. We also provide a custom function seq2kmerin motif/motif_utils.py for this conversion.
In the following example, we use DNABERT with kmer=6 as example.

Add --fp16 tag if you want to perfrom mixed precision. (You have to install the 'apex' from source first).
Please see the template data at /example/sample_data/ft/. If you are trying to fine-tune DNABERT with your own data, please process you data into the same format as it. Note that the sequences are in kmer format, so you will need to convert your sequences into that. We also provide a custom function seq2kmerin motif/motif_utils.py for this conversion.
Download the pre-trained model in to a directory. (If you would like to replicate the following examples, please download DNABERT 6). Then unzip the package by running:
unzip 6-new-12w-0.zip
We also provide a model with KMER=6 that is fine-tuned on the sample dataset for prediction/visulization/motif_analysis. If you use the fine-tuned model instead of fine-tuning a model by your self, please download the fine-tuned and put it under examples/ft/6.
In the following example, we use DNABERT with kmer=6 as example. We use prom-core, a 2-class classification task as example.

After the model is fine-tuned, we can get predictions by running
export KMER=6
export MODEL_PATH=./ft/$KMER
export DATA_PATH=sample_data/ft/$KMER
export PREDICTION_PATH=./result/$KMER
python run_finetune.py \
--model_type dna \

--max_seq_length 75 \
--per_gpu_pred_batch_size=128 \
--output_dir $MODEL_PATH \
--predict_dir $PREDICTION_PATH \
--n_process 48
With the above command, the fine-tuned DNABERT model will be loaded from MODEL_PATH , and makes prediction on the dev.tsv file that saved in DATA_PATH and save the prediction result at PREDICTION_PATH.

####5.2 Plotting tool
Once the attention scores are generated, we can proceed further to perform motif analysis using motif/find_motifs.py:
cd ../motif
export KMER=6
export DATA_PATH=../examples/sample_data/ft/$KMER
export PREDICTION_PATH=../examples/result/$KMER
export MOTIF_PATH=./result/$KMER
python find_motifs.py \
--data_dir $DATA_PATH \
--predict_dir $PREDICTION_PATH \
--window_size 24 \
--min_len 5 \
--pval_cutoff 0.005 \
--min_n_motif 3 \
--align_all_ties \
--save_file_dir $MOTIF_PATH \
--verbose
The script will generate a .txt file and a weblogo .png file for each motif under MOTIF_PATH.
To perform genomic variants analysis (e.g. SNPs), we need to first ensure the predictions for the sequences were generated. Then, create a file (template in SNP/example_mut_file.txt) specifying for which sequences in dev.tsv and start and end indices where we need to perform the mutation. The first column indicates the index of sequence in dev.tsv to be mutated. Second and third columns are the start and end indices while the fourth column is the target of mutation (can be substitution, insertion, deletion, etc.)
Once such a file is created, we can perform mutation on the sequences:
cd ../SNP
python mutate_seqs.py ./../examples/sample_data/ft/6/dev.tsv ./examples/ --mut_file ./example_mut_file.txt --k 6
Alternatively, we can choose to leave the --mut_file argument blank, where the program would try to perform substitution of all bases to the four possible nucleotides ('A', 'T', 'C', or 'G') for all sequences. This would be useful for plotting a mutation heatmap as included in the paper. Note that this would be slow if the dev.tsv contains a lot of sequences or the input sequences are very long, as the command would try to perform mutation on all possible locations of them.
cd ../SNP
python mutate_seqs.py ./../examples/sample_data/ft/6/dev.tsv ./examples/ --k 6
After that, we can again predict on the generated sequences. Note: if you have insertion/deletions in your mut_file.txt, consider changing the max_seq_length we use when making predictions.
export KMER=6
export MODEL_PATH=../examples/ft/$KMER
export DATA_PATH=examples
export PREDICTION_PATH=examples
python ../examples/run_finetune.py \
--model_type dna \
--tokenizer_name=dna$KMER \
--model_name_or_path $MODEL_PATH \
--task_name dnaprom \
--do_predict \
--data_dir $DATA_PATH \
--max_seq_length 75 \
--per_gpu_pred_batch_size=128 \
--output_dir $MODEL_PATH \
--predict_dir $PREDICTION_PATH \
--n_process 48
This will again create pred_results.npy file under the $PREDICTION_PATH. Once we have all the above, we can compute the effect of these mutations by:
python SNP.py \
--orig_seq_file ../examples/sample_data/ft/6/dev.tsv \
--orig_pred_file ../examples/result/6/pred_results.npy \
--mut_seq_file examples/dev.tsv \
--mut_pred_file examples/pred_results.npy \
--save_file_dir examples
This would save a mutations.tsv file under save_file_dir, that contains index of original sequence (in original dev.tsv), original sequence and predictions, mutated sequence and predictions, as well as the difference score and log odds ratio of the change in every case.
Please kindly make sure that you satisfied all system requirements for DNABERT, and that you have a conda environment properly set up. We have recently successfully tested our pipeline on Amazon EC2 Deep Learning AMI (Ubuntu 18.04). As an option, you could compare your system/environment setup with this AMI.
