Tutorial
1. NeoChr
NeoChr module would assist users to grab related genes in different pathways manually, to rewire genes’ relationship logically*, and to replace genes with ortholog that score higher*. Firstly, it would allow users to define gene order and orientation in DRAG&DROP way. Secondly, decoupled these genes if have overlap and make all genes are non-redundancy. Finally, add chromosome features to build a new chromosome and show in the JBrowse. Moreover, users can drag a window in the JBrowse and delete any gene in the window.
Note:
*These function are unavailable now, please wait for version 2.
**You can also add any thing here including your own water mark.
2. Plugin Scripts
This module contains three plugins: Decouple.pl, Add.pl and Delete.pl.
2.1 Decouple.pl
This plugin is to decouple the genes which have overlap gene regions. These overlapping genes can be decoupled if meet the following conditions: (1)If two genes have overlap gene regions, the latter gene 5’UTR does not cover the former gene initial codon (ATG); (2)Overlapping region initial coordinate is in the coding DNA sequences(CDS) of gene which is need to be decoupled; (3)The decouple site of CDS have synonymous substitute codon to replace; After decoupling, we use these non-redundancy genes to generate a GFF file and a FASTA file.
2.1.1 Internal operation
First, this plugin extracts base sequence from the genome file according to the gene order list, and records the gene order in the list. And then plugin records the annotation information according to the specie GFF file, moreover, plugin extends gene CDS upstream 600bp as 5’-UTR and downstream 100bp as 3’-UTR if the GFF file does not contain annotated these two features.
Second, this plugin detects the overlapping genes in the same chromosome. In case the overlapping genes are detected, it will judge whether the overlapping initial site is located in the CDS region, and identify the site is belong to phase0/1/2.
Third, the plugin attempts to synonymous substitute codon to break the initial codon intra the CDS. Printing information whether or not be decoupled successfully, such as:
And non-redundancy genes are generated.
Finally, the plugin links non-redundancy genes to construct a new chromosome according to the gene order.
2.2.1 Example
We have two input forms to execute the plugin:
1. Using string format as gene order list input form:
perl GeneDecouple.pl --species saccharomyces_cerevisiae_chr --list_format string --gene_order="YAL054C -,YAL038W +,YBR019C -,YBR145W +,YCL040W +,YCR012W +,YCR105W +,YDL168W +,YPL017C -,YIL177C -,YIL177W-A +,YIL172C -,YIL171W-A +,” --geneset_dir ../gene_set --upstream_extend 600 --downstream_extend 100 --neo_chr_gff neochr.gff --neo_chr_fa neochr.fa
2. Using file format as gene order list input form:
erl GeneDecouple.pl --species saccharomyces_cerevisiae_chr --list_format file --gene_order gene_ordre.list --geneset_dir ../gene_set --upstream_extend 600 --downstream_extend 100 --neo_chr_gff neochr.gff --neo_chr_fa neochr.fa

2.2 Add.pl
This plugin will add the LoxPsym sequence and the customized left and right telomeres, centromere and autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) into the FASTA file and GFF file which are generated by Decouple.pl.
2.2.1 Internal operation
The plugin adds LoxPsym behind the first 3bp of 3’-UTR in each gene and adds telomere, centromere and ARS according this mode:

All the feature file format is 4 lines format, for example:
name = site_specific_recombination_target_region
type = loxPsym
source = BIO
sequence = ATAACTTCGTATAATGTACATTATACGAAGTTAT
Note: the first line is the detail name of feature, the second line is the type of feature, the third line is the source of feature and the last line is the sequence of feature.

1. NucleoMod
NucleoMod can modify CDS based on synoymous mutation. It has 5 applications. Firstly, NucleoMod is used to design CRISPR sites on NeoChr so that we can silence the wild type genes. Secondly, it can erase specific enzyme sites according to the users' selection. Thirdly, users can create an enzyme site in selected region of specific genes. Fourthly, it can optimize the codon efficiency to increase the expression level. Finally, it can smash the tandem repeat bases to reduce the synthesis difficulty.
2. Plugins
This module contains 5 plugins: CRISPR design, erase enzyme site, create enzyme site, codon optimization, repeat smash. All plugins are included in the main program.
2.1 CRISPR design
This plugin is used to design CRISPR site of NeoChr genes so that we can silence the wild type genes. We use blast+ to ensure the uniqueness of CRISPR sites. If you are using more than one plugin at the same time, this plugin will start firstly and deliver the data to next plugin. Otherwise it will generate a new fasta file for sequence and gff file for annotation.
2.1.1 Internal operation
First, this plugin extracts sequence and annotation from the NeoChr FASTA file and GFF3 file, respectively. Regular expression will be applied to find the 23bp basic structure of CRISPR site, with a head of ‘G’ then following 20 facultative bases and finally followed by ‘GG’. All the sequences and locus will be record in an array.
Second, the blast+ will be used to check whether the 12bp sequences (from 9th to 20th) are uniq in the wild type genome. Only uniq sites will be reserved.
Third, synonymous substitution method will be applied to change one base between the 9th to 20th bases of the CRISPR structure. The result will be record in GFF as an element of gene. If –verbose is set, the designed number will be report in STDOUT.
Finally, if this plugin is the last module, the sequence and annotation information will be recreated in FASTA and GFF format.
2.1.2 Example
We have two input forms to execute the plugin:
Run CRISPR design plugin only:
perl NucleoMod.pl -inputfa NeoChr.fa -inputgff NeoChr.gff -outputgff new_annotation.gff -outputfa new_chr.fa -crisprnum 2 -database saccharomyces_cerevisiae_chr.fa

2.2 Erase enzyme site
Given a list of restriction enzyme information, this plugin will erase the restriction sites in every gene. If you are using more than one plugin at the same time, this plugin will start after CRISPR design and deliver the data to next plugin. Otherwise it will generate a new fasta file for sequence and gff file for annotation.
2.2.1 Internal operation
The enzyme information will be extracted. (If the –borbrickstandard parameter is set, it will also remove EcoRI, XbaI, SpeI, PstI and NotI) The recognize site will be reformatted to regular expression and searched in the CDS regions. Once a restriction site is matched, synonymous substitution method will be applied to try to erase the enzyme site. When the substitution is finished, the plugin will restart the next search from 1 base after the last matched position. If this plugin is the last module, the sequence and annotation information will be recreated in FASTA and GFF format.

3. SegmMan
This module will cut chromosome into pieces with different sizes with Gibson, Goldengate, Homologous adaptors to them so that they are able to be assembled into whole experimentally.
Plugin Scripts
3-1. 01.whole2mega.pl
This utility can split the whole chromosome ( at least 90kbp long ) into about 30k segments and add homologous overlap and adaptors, so that these fragments can be integrated into whole experimentally.
Internal operation
First, this utility searches for the location of centromere and ARSs (autonomously replicating site). The minimal distance between centromere and ARS should NOT be larger than a defined megachunk which is about 30k long.
Second, this utility cuts out the first 30k sequence window containing the centromere and its adjacent ARS, and then adds this megachunk with two original markers and left, right telomeres.
Thirdly, this utility continues to cut more megachunks from the original one to both ends. But these megachunks are not independent, they all have about 1kbp overlaps. Moreover, these new splited window can be given only one marker alternately and only left or right telomere.
The output file will be dealed with 02.globalREmarkup.pl

Presentation from KGML
This module will grab genes’ details in different pathways, which from KEGG with KEGG Makeup Language (KGML) file and export genes list and relationship of genes. The goal here is to visualize the pathway and rebuild it in the level of genes.
Scripts
1. keggid_convert_gene.pl
This utility can convert KEGGID which in KGML file into genes’ name and rewrite KGML file.
Internal operation
First, this utility will change the pathway’s name into KEGG database names, and then open the file with the entire list of genes, push them in hash.
Second, this utility will read the original pathway’s xml file in and replace KEGGID with gene’s name one by one. Furthermore, it will change type element all into “gene”.
Thirdly, it will be the substitution of original pathway’s xml file.
Example
perl keggid_convert_gene.pl ko04010
The format of output:
It will rewrite the original pathway’s xml file, if we have following statement: convert.py This utility will read in KGML file which have been rewritten before, and grab genes’ information, such as genes’ name, genes’ relationship and then convert these into JSON. Internal operation First, this utility will use the parameter –f to determine the specified file and read it in. The output file will use the file name that put forward. Example python convert.py –f sce04111 Parameters: The format of output: The output file is stored in the path where you running this program.
Second, this utility convert KGML file into JSON and grab the information of genes, such as the reactions of genes and the relationship between genes.
Third, this utility continue to integrate the information above into two files, ‘gene.json’ and ‘relation.json’, which can be use directly in rewrite gene’s pathway.
default -f/--file read KGML from FILENAME(omit '.xml'), produce two files: gene list and relation
1. _gene.json
type:
geneID:the unique identification of geneortholog KO (orthology group) enzyme Enzyme reaction Reaction gene gene product (mostly a protein) group a complex of gene products (mostly a protein complex)
reaction:name the KEGGID of this gene type the type of this gene
2. _relation.json
name the KEGGID of this reaction reversible true: reversible reaction; false: irreversible reaction substrates KEGGID of substrate node products the KEGGID of product node related-reactions relate to another pathway or gene
relations:
entry1&2:type The type of this relation[ ECrel, PPrel. GErel, PCrel, maplink] subtype Interaction/relation information[activation/inhibition] entry1 The first (from) entry that defines this relation entry2 The second (to) entry that defines this relation
entry ID The KEGGID of node which takes part in this relation type Have only two options: [gene/group] name The KEGGID of this gene group The node is a complex of gene products (mostly a protein complex)
Shortcoming
We can’t automatic acquisition KGML file in the KEGG API, all the demo we have show need to be downloaded before. You can get the entire list of one database genes through KEGG API, just like http://rest.kegg.jp/list/ko , it shows the entire list of orthology genes. The download method about KGML files shows in “How to finish this plun-in” part. Some genes will relate to another pathway but it doesn’t shows in the pathway so we are failed to grab the relationships between genes and pathways automatically. So we added two gene-pathway relations in ko04010 demo manually, TP53 gene connected with ko04115: P53 signaling pathway and NLK gene connected with ko04310: WNT signaling pathway. We look forward to the improvement of this plun-in through these disadvantages.
How to finish this plun-in?
KEGG is a database resource for understanding high-level functions and utilities of the biological system, and KGML is an XML presentation of the KEGG pathway database, which enables automatic drawing of KEGG pathways and provides facilities for computational analysis and modeling of gene/protein networks and chemical networks. Here is the data structure of KGML.
It’s really complex and it will bother you to understand the KGML file! Do not worry, I will show you how to understand a KGML file and then how to convert it into JSON.
First, how to find or download KGML file?
Method:
Download KGML" link for each pathway map.
If you choose a pathway with prefix “map”, you can’t find the download link in the page, that’s
because it can be generating almost ko/rn/ec/org files.
Such as “map04111”, it has no link for download. But if you change the “map” into “sce” in
the URL, you can get the file.
KEGG API:
Take “sce04111” as an example, you can download the KGML file via the this.
Second, the KGML file is difficult to find out the relationship through the data structure show above.
Here is the simple but straightforward tutorial to teach you how to understand a KGML file.
Take “sce04111.xml” as an example. We can simplify the data structure as:
The entry element can be path/ko/ec/rn/cpd/gl/org/group, enzyme/protein/gene will have relation and gene will also have compound and reactions. We choose one relation to be example:
It means that gene (YCL061C) have activation effect in gene (YPL153C).By the way, through the graphics elements, we can definitely rewrite the connection between these two genes.
Third, thought we know how to get KGML file and can understand it but the crucial problem is, how to grab the information of genes and convert it into JSON.
Here we use Python programming Language, install the library “lxml” for processing XML and HTML, and we import JSON library for convert.
Fourth, you may ask: If there have any other software to do such job, that is read KGML files, convert it and rewrite it?
Of course, and we indeed tried but failed for it’s not open source or the original source is difficult for modification.
Actually, if you want to do some visualize pathway job, Cytoscape is a good choice and it also have cytoscape.js for drawing.
Finally, we indeed done plentiful preparatory work, maybe in the end it’s not useful in this software but it can expand our horizons.
