About this tool
---------------

This tool is your starting point for running an Argo Navis analysis.
It runs BEAST for you, and produces a treefile suitable for running through the Argo Navis PACT tool, which facilitates
visualization and analyses of your data.


Input files
-----------

To run this tool, you'll need some sequence data, and a way to specify which sequences belong to which demes.
The recommended way of doing this is to specify a FASTA file of aligned sequences, and a separate metadata CSV file with
deme specifications.
This metadata file may also be used to specify temporal information for your sequences.
While the column names pointing to the deme and date information are configurable, there must be a "sequence" column
corresponding to the names of the sequences in the FASTA file.
Additionally, there must be no sequences represented in one file not represented in the other.

It is also possible to specify deme and date information directly in the FASTA file sequence names using regular expressions.
To do this, select "From  sequence names" from the "Metadata specification" dropdown.
This will open up options for deme and date regular expressions which will be used to extract the information from
the sequence names.
The default behaviour is to parse the sequence names as "|" separated values like this: "name|deme|date".
If you'd like help customizing these regular expressions, please see the `regex tutorial`_ and `rubular`_.

For more custom analyses, you can also specify your own BEAST config file.
This lets you customize model details, priors, and parameters.
If you wish to do this, take a look at the **Customizing your BEAST config file** section below.


Output files
------------

The following files are created as the result of an Argo Navis BEAST run:

**BEAST logfile**: A standard BEAST logfile of sampled parameters, suitable for analysis with Tracer.

**BEAST treefile**: A nexus file of trees from the posterior, with ancestral states labeled, suitable for
analysis with PACT.

**BEAST effective sample size stats**: Statistics about whether BEAST has run long enough.
You can click on the eye icon next to this file to see this data in-browser.

Once you've carried out a run, you should always check the ESS statistics before doing anything else.
This file will contain a "Recommendation", indicating whether the data is ready to use, or whether you
should run BEAST longer, and if so, how much longer.

While the ESS statistic is an easy way to get a sense for whether your should run BEAST more or not, it's also
a good idea to manually review the logfile using `Tracer`_, before accepting the results as final and
passing them along through the rest of the analysis.
Please see the tutorial in the Introduction for a description of how to do this.


Resume runs
-----------

If you run BEAST and realize it needs to run longer, you can save time by doing a "Resume" run.
This let's you pick up from where you left off, keeping you from having to start over.

Note that in addition to the output files listed above, an initial run of BEAST will also produce the following:

**BEAST config file**: A copy of the BEAST file created for the run.
This has been modified to include sequence, deme, and date information, as well as various other run settings.

**BEAST state file**: This is a file that BEAST maintains as it runs so Resume runs can pick up where they left off.

In order to start a Resume run, start by entering the number of new samples you'd like to add to the data you've already collected.
Next, in the "BEAST file specification" input, select "Custom or Resume".
This will open up a file input from which you can select the BEAST config file from the previous run.
Next, select "Yes" in the "Resume from a previous run?" form input.
This will open up several new input fields where you can specify the logfile, treefile and statefile from your previous run.

You can also specify a total number of samples you want to keep.
When running a Resume run, your log and tree files can grow large enough to bog down analysis tools.
This problem is dealt with by evenly trimming these files to the specified number of samples during Resume runs.
It's important to note, however, that if you do further Resume runs, you must make sure to specify the **untrimmed** log and
tree files for the following runs.
If you don't, bad things will happen (someone will kill a puppy; seriously).

It's also important to note that Resume runs ignore all inputs not explicitly mentioned above.
In particular, you can't change the sequences, the date information, deme specifications or sampling interval for a Resume run.
If you *do* want to change any of this, you must start a new run.


Random seeds
------------

Both the actual BEAST run and the downsampling methods support specification of random seeds.
Taking advantage of this aids in reproducibility of your analyses, as someone else running with the same data, settings and
random seeds should be able to reproduce the results exactly.
If you choose not to specify your own random seeds, random seeds will be chosen for you and printed out in the logs, so
if you wish to go back and find these values, you can.


Downsampling
------------

Differences in sampling between demes you study can be a challenge when doing these analyses.
How do you know that one deme having been sampled more deeply isn't artificially biasing the results towards increased
diversity for that deme?
It's also frequently the case that researchers studying viruses don't submit every viral sequence they obtain, but decide
which look "different enough" from the others (and from those already observed) to submit to online repositories.
And typically, the strategy used for deciding which sequences to submit and which not to is not made clear in publications.
As such, treating sequences found in these repositories as an unbiased sample is problematic, and has even greater
potential for introducing diversity bias into your results.

Issues such as these frequently come up in reviewer critiques.
One way to deal with this is to show evidence that the sampling issues aren't significantly affecting the results,
or at the very least, to explore the effects of different sampling strategies on the results.
Argo Navis provides downsampling tools which help you towards this end.

There are two downsampling methods you can use: Random and K-means.
Random downsampling is meant to deal with issues of only sampling depth, while K-means downsampling is meant to
address issues of sampling bias.
While Random downsampling is likely fairly straight-forward, K-means downsampling may not be.

K-means downsampling starts by clustering sequences together into K clusters.
From each of these clusters a single sequence is chosen to represent the entire cluster.
This is done for each deme.
This method introduces intentional, but controlled sampling bias, as for any given number of K samples per
deme, the sequences chosen are going to reflect the *most* diversity possible among those sequences.
While this doesn't *solve* the problem of sampling bias, it does attempt to put all demes on equal footing, by
introducing similar diversity bias in all sequences.

A decent strategy for protecting yourself from reviewers is to use *both* of these methods at various K values,
and compare the results.
Assuming the results look similar in all cases, then great!
It would appear you have a very robust set of conclusions.
If there are differences, there will be a bit more work involved in explaining them, but at least you'll be able to say
you've thoroughly explored the issue.

On a final note, if you *do* decide to use BEAST's downsampling functionality, you will obtain a couple of additional
outputs:

**Downsampled alignment**: The sequences kept in the downsampling process, in FASTA format.

**Downsampled metadata**: If you supplied metadata for the analysis, you will also get a copy of that file containing
metadata for only the sequences kept in the downsampling procedure.

These are not required for any other part of Argo Navis, but are offered for your convenience so you can see which
sequences were chosen and use the same data subsets in other analyses you might perform outside of Argo Navis.


Customizing your BEAST config file
----------------------------------

Customizing your BEAST config file opens up the full power of BEAST, letting you specify model details, priors, and
other parameters.
If you wish to do this, it's recommended you start by working from this tool's `default BEAST config file`_.
From there, you can specify customizations using the BEAUti program, which is installed alongside BEAST2 (see the
`BEAST2 homepage`_ for downloads).

Before you can load the config file, you'll have to install the BEAST Classic module from within BEAUti.
Simply go to File > Manage Packages, click on "BEAST_CLASSIC", then click "Install".
You can now go to File > Load to select the default BEAST config file.
Once you've made your edits, save your new config file by going to File > Save As.
You can then upload the file into Galaxy by going to Get Data > Upload File within the Galaxy Tool menu, making sure to
specify "beastfile" as the file type.

Once you have your file loaded, select "Custom or resume" from "BEAST file specification", and point the file selector that pops
up to the new config file you just uploaded.
If you wish, you can also tell Argo Navis to use the alignment and deme data in the BEAST config file by selecting the
appropriate options in the "Alignment specification" and "Metadata specification" dropdowns.
If you don't do this, whatever files/options are specified for Sequence alignment and Metadata specification will replace the
data specified in your BEAST config file.

Some notes to keep in mind if you specify your own BEAST config:

1. If you choose to specify the deme/community information directly in the your BEAST file and not apply the CSV or regular
   expression data to set this, you must name your discrete trait "deme", even if it refers to something else, like
   species name or tissue type.
2. Note that the chain length and sampling interval settings in your BEAST config file will get overridden by whatever is
   specified here in this tool, and can not be assumed to remain as specified in your BEAST config file.
3. If you don't have tip dates, you can speed up your run by specifying a custom beast file where your fixed clock's rate isn't
   estimated but left constant. If you don't have any temporal data, these estimates won't mean anything anyway.

Note that the default template closely follows the setup in the `Ancestral State Reconstruction tutorial`_ by Remco Bouckaert,
which you can use as a guide for setting up your own custom BEAST analysis.
The `BEAST homepage`_ is also a useful resource if you're looking for help settings things up.
