(minor edits to README, TUTORIAL, CHANGELOG, and FAQ, convertion to
Markdown, trailing whitespace removal & CI setup by Marcel Schilling)
Linux system, 2GB Ram, enough disk space dependent on your deep sequencing data
MacOSX with Xcode and gcc compiler installed. (This can be obtained from the appstore, if there are any issues with installing it please look for help online).
To compile the Vienna package it may be necessary to have GNU grep installed since the MacOSX grep is BSD based and sometimes not accepted by the installer. To get a GNU grep you could for example install homebrew by typing
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"(the link could be out of date, in that case look up online what to do)
After that typing
brew tap homebrew/dupes; brew install grepwill install GNU grep as ggrep in /usr/local/bin/
Type
perl install.plFollow the instructions given below
First download all necessary packages listed here
- bowtie short read aligner
- Vienna package with RNAfold
- SQUID library goto Squid and download it
- randfold
- Perl package PDF::API2
When packages are downloaded
- attach the miRDeep2 executable path to your PATH
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:your_path_to_mirdeep2/src' >> ~/.bashrc-
unzip bowtie-0.11.3-bin-linux-x86_64.zip -
put the bowtie directory into your
PATHvariable, e.g.
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:your_path_tobowtie' >> ~/.bashrc-
tar xvvzf ViennaRNA-1.8.4.tar.gz -
cdto the Vienna dir -
type
./configure --prefix=your_path_to_Vienna/install_dir

e.g. INCLUDE=-I. -I/home/Pattern/squid-1.9g/ -L/home/Pattern/squid-1.9g/
-
make -
add randfold to your
PATHvariable, e.g.
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:your_path_to_randfold' >> ~/.bashrc-
tar xvvzf PDF-API2-0.73.tar.gz -
cdto your PDF_API2 directory -
then type in
perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=your_path_to_miRDeep2 LIB=your_path_to_miRDeep2/lib
make
make test
make install- add your library to the
PERL5LIB, e.g.
echo \
'export PERL5LIB=PERL5LIB:your_path_to_miRDeep2/lib/perl5' \
>> ~/.bashrc-
cdto your mirdeep2 directory (the one containinginstall.pl) -
touch install_successful -
start a new shell session to apply the changes to environment variables
To test if everything is installed properly type in
bowtieRNAfold -hrandfoldmake_html.pl
You should not get any error messages. Otherwise something is not correctly installed.
Everything that is download by the installer will be in a directory called
<your_path_to_mirdeep2>/essentials
miRDeep2 analyses can be performed using the three scripts miRDeep2.pl,
mapper.pl and quantifier.pl.
Wrapper function for the miRDeep2.pl program package. The script runs all
necessary scripts of the miRDeep2 package to perform a microRNA detection deep
sequencing data anlysis.
- A FASTA file with deep sequencing reads,
- a FASTA file of the corresponding genome,
- a file of mapped reads to the genome in miRDeep2 ARF format,
- an optional FASTA file with known miRNAs of the analysed species, and
- an optional FASTA file of known miRNAs of related species.
- A spreadsheet and
- an HTML file
with an overview of all detected miRNAs in the deep sequencing input data.

The miRDeep2 module identifies known and novel miRNAs in deep sequencing data. The output of the mapper module can be directly plugged into the miRDeep2 module.
The user wishes to identify miRNAs in mouse deep sequencing data, using default
options.
The miRBase_mmu_v14.fa file contains all miRBase mature mouse miRNAs, while
the miRBase_rno_v14.fa file contains all the miRBase mature rat miRNAs.
The 2> will pipe all progress output to the report.log file.

The mapper module is designed as a tool to process deep sequencing reads and/or map them to the reference genome. The module works in sequence space, and can process or map data that is in sequence FASTA format. A number of the functions of the mapper module are implemented specifically with Solexa/Illumina data in mind. For example on how to post-process mappings in color space, see example use 5:
The user wishes to parse a file in qseq.txt format to FASTA format, convert
from RNA to DNA alphabet, remove entries with non-canonical letters (letters
other than a, c, g, t, u, n, A, C, G, T, U, or N), clip
adapters, discard reads shorter than 18 nts and collapse the reads:
mapper.pl reads_qseq.txt -b -h -i -j -k TCGTATGCCGTCTTCTGCTTGT -l 18 -m \
-s reads_collapsed.faThe user wishes to map a FASTA file against the reference genome.
The genome has already been indexed by bowtie-build.
The first of the indexed files is named genome.1.ebwt:
mapper.pl reads_collapsed.fa -c -p genome -t reads_collapsed_vs_genome.arfThe user wishes to process the reads as in example use 1 and map the reads as in example use 2 in a single step, while observing the progress:
mapper.pl reads_qseq.txt -b -h -i -j -k TCGTATGCCGTCTTCTGCTTGT -l 18 -m \
-p genome -s reads_collapsed.fa -t reads_collapsed_vs_genome.arf -vThe user wishes to parse a GEO file to FASTA format and process it as in example use 1. The GEO file is in tabular format, with the first column showing the sequence and the second column showing the read counts:
geo2fasta.pl GSM.txt > reads.fa
mapper.pl reads.fa -c -h -i -j -k TCGTATGCCGTCTTCTGCTTGT -l 18 -m \
-s reads_collapsed.faThe user has already removed 3' adapters in color space and has mapped the
reads against the genome using the BWA tool. The BWA output file is named
reads_vs_genome.sam. Notice that the BWA output contains extra fields that
are not required for SAM format. Our converter requires these fields and thus
may not work with all types of SAM files. The user wishes to generate
reads_collapsed.fa and reads_vs_genome.arf to input to miRDeep2:
bwa_sam_converter.pl reads_vs_genome.sam reads.fa reads_vs_genome.arf
mapper.pl reads.fa -c -i -j -l 18 -m -s reads_collapsed.faThe module maps the deep sequencing reads to predefined miRNA precursors and determines by that the expression of the corresponding miRNAs. First, the predefined mature miRNA sequences are mapped to the predefined precursors. Optionally, predefined star sequences can be mapped to the precursors too. By that the mature and star sequence in the precursors are determined. Second, the deep sequencing reads are mapped to the precursors. The number of reads falling into an interval 2 nt upstream and 5 nt downstream of the mature/star sequence is determined.
- A FASTA file with precursor sequences,
- a FASTA file with mature miRNA sequences,
- a FASTA file with deep sequencing reads, and
- optionally a FASTA file with star sequences and the 3 letter code of the species of interest.
- A 2 column table file called
miRNA_expressed.csvwith miRNA identifiers and its read count, - a file called
miRNA_not_expressed.csvwith all miRNAs having 0 read counts, - a signature file called
miRBase.mrd, - a file called
expression.htmlthat gives an overview of all miRNAs the input data, and - a directory called
pdfsthat contains for each miRNA a PDF file showing its signature and structure.

quantifier.pl -p precursors.fa -m mature.fa -r reads.faIt creates a file called result.html that gives an overview of miRDeep2
detected miRNAs (known and novel ones). The HTML file lists up each detected
miRNA and provides among others information on its miRDeep2 score, reads mapped
to its mature, loop and star sequence, the mature, star and consensus precursor
sequences themselves and provides links to BLAST, BLAT, mirBase for miRBase
miRNAs and to a PDF file that shows the signature and structure.
- A miRDeep2 output.mrd file and
- a miRDeep2 survey.csv file
- A
result.htmlfile with an entry for each provisional miRNA that contains information about its assigned Id, miRDeep2 score, estimated probability that the miRNA candidate is a true positive, rfam alert, total read count, mature read count, loop read count, star read count, significant randfold p-value, miRBase miRNA, example miRBase miRNA with the same seed, BLAT, BLAST, consensus mature sequence, consensus star sequence and consensus precursor sequence. Furthermore, the miRBase miRNAs existent in the input data but not scored by miRDeep2 are listed. - A directory called
pdfsthat contains for each provisional miRNA ID a PDF with its signature and structure. - A file called
result.csv(when option-cis used) that contains the same entries as the HTML file.

make_html.pl -f miRDeep_outfile -s survey.csv -c -e -y 123456789Removes 3' end adaptors from deep sequenced small RNAs. The script searches for occurrences of the six first nucleotides of the adapter in the read sequence, starting after position 18 in the read sequence (so the shortest clipped read will be 18 nts). If no matches to the first six nts of the adapter are identified in a read, the 3' end of the read is searched for shorter matches to the 5 to 1 first nts of the adapter.
- A FASTA file with the deep sequencing reads and the adapter sequence (both in RNA or DNA alphabet).
- A FASTA file with the clipped reads.
FASTA IDs are retained. If no matches to the adapter prefixes are identified in a given read, the unclipped read is output.
clip_adapters.pl reads.fa TCGTATGCCGTCTTCTGCTTGT > reads_clipped.faIt is possible to clip adapters using more sophisticated methods. Users are encouraged to test other methods with the miRDeep2 modules.
Collapses reads in the FASTA file to ensure that each sequence only occurs
once.
To indicate how many times reads the sequence represents, a suffix is added to
each FASTA identifier. E.g. a sequence that represents ten reads in the data
will have the _x10 suffix added to the identifier.
- A FASTA file, either in standard format or in the collapsed suffix format.
- A FASTA file in the collapsed suffix format.

collapse_reads.pl reads.fa > reads_collapsedSince the script reads all FASTA entries into a hash using the sequence as key, it can potentially use more than 3 GB memory when collapsing very big datasets, >50 million reads. In this case, the user can partition the reads (for instance based on the 5' nucleotide), collapse separately and concatenate.

The permutation controls estimate the number of false positives produced by a
miRDeep2_core_algorithm.pl run.
The input to perform_controls.pl should be
- a file containing the exact command line used to initiate the

miRDeep2_core_algorithm.pl, and - the desired rounds of controls.
- A file in
.mrdformat.
The output of each control run is separated by a line permutation integer.
The mean number of entries output by the control runs gives an estimate of the
