# Shiba (v0.6.1) <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sika-Zheng-Lab/Shiba/main/img/Shiba_icon.png" width=40% align="right">

A versatile computational method for systematic identification of differential RNA splicing. Shiba/scShiba can quantify and identify differential splicing events (DSEs) from bulk RNA-seq data and single-cell RNA-seq data. Shiba and scShiba are also implemented as [Snakemake](https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) workflows, SnakeShiba and SnakeScShiba, respectively.

See [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/Sika-Zheng-Lab/Shiba/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for the latest updates.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Shiba now supports **long-read RNA-seq** data analysis! Please check the [manual](https://sika-zheng-lab.github.io/Shiba/quickstart/diff_splicing_bulk/#shiba) for more details.

## Overview

Shiba comprises four main steps:
1. **Transcript assembly**: Assemble transcripts from RNA-seq reads using [StringTie2](https://github.com/skovaka/stringtie2)
2. **Splicing event identification**: Identify alternative mRNA splicing events from assembled transcripts
3. **Read counting**: Count reads mapped to each splicing event using [RegTools](https://github.com/griffithlab/regtools) and [featureCounts](https://subread.sourceforge.net/)
4. **Statistical analysis**: Identify DSEs based on Fisher's exact test

## Installation

### Conda

```bash
conda create -n shiba -c conda-forge -c bioconda shiba
```

If you want to perform only splicing analysis, you can install minimal dependencies and run **MameShiba**, a lightweight version of Shiba.

```bash
conda create -n mameshiba -c conda-forge -c bioconda mameshiba
```

### Docker

```bash
docker pull naotokubota/shiba:v0.6.1
```

## Usage

Manual for Shiba is available at [https://sika-zheng-lab.github.io/Shiba/](https://sika-zheng-lab.github.io/Shiba/).

***Shiba***

```bash
shiba.py -p 4 config.yaml
```

***MameShiba***, a lightweight version of Shiba

```bash
shiba.py --mame -p 4 config.yaml
```

***SnakeShiba***, Snakemake-based workflow of Shiba

```bash
snakemake -s snakeshiba.smk --configfile config.yaml --cores 4 --use-singularity
```

***scShiba***, a single-cell RNA-seq version of Shiba

```bash
scshiba.py -p 4 config.yaml
```

***SnakeScShiba***, Snakemake-based workflow of scShiba

```bash
snakemake -s snakescshiba.smk --configfile config.yaml --cores 4 --use-singularity
```
