**virHEAT is a tool to visualize vcfs as a heatmap and map mutations to respective genes.**



Ever wanted to have a condensed look at variant frequencies after mapping your raw reads to a viral/bacterial reference genome and compare multiple vcf files at the same time? Than virHEAT is for you. You can not only visualize the heatmap but also read in a gff3 file that lets you display genes harboring a mutation. This lightweight script was inspired by [snipit](https://github.com/aineniamh/snipit) and my [variant frequency plot](https://github.com/jonas-fuchs/SARS-CoV-2-analyses/tree/main/Heatmap), getting the best visualization features of both.

## SARS-CoV-2 example:

## Installation

### via pip (recommened):
```shell
pip install virheat
```
### from this repo:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/jonas-fuchs/virHEAT
cd virHEAT
```
and then install virHEAT with:
```shell
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
or:
```shell
pip install .
```
That was already it. To check if it worked:

```shell
virheat -v
```
You should see the current virHEAT version.

## Usage

```shell
usage: 	virheat <folder containing vcfs> <output dir> -l or -g [additional arguments]

```

**Arguments:**

```
positional arguments:
  input                 folder containing vcf (and tsv) files and output folder

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l None, --genome-length None
                        length of the genome (needed if gff3 is not provided)
  -g None, --gff3-path None
                        path to gff3 (needed if length is not provided)
  -a gene, --gff3-annotations gene
                        annotations to display from gff3 file (standard: gene)
  -t 0, --threshold 0   display frequencies above this threshold
  --delete, --no-delete
                        delete mutations with frequencies present in all
                        samples (default: True)
  --sort, --no-sort     sort alphanumerically (default: False)
  --min-cov 20          display mutations covered at least x time (only if per base cov tsv files are provided)
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
```

You need to either provide the length of your reference genome or if you want to get the sequence annotation you will need to provide the gff3 file.

Additionally, you can also analyse if mutations are sufficiently covered and display non-covered cells in grey. For that first create a per base coverage tsv files for each bam file with [Qualimap](http://qualimap.conesalab.org/) and provide it in the same folder as the vcf files. Give them the same name as your vcf files.
