**ALFA acronym**

- Annotation.Landscape.For.Aligned reads

----

**What it does**

	| ALFA provides a global overview of features distribution composing New Generation Sequencing dataset(s). 
	|
 	| Given a set of aligned reads (BAM files) and an annotation file (GTF format), the tool produces plots of the raw and normalized distributions of those reads among genomic categories (stop codon, 5'-UTR, CDS, intergenic, etc.) and biotypes (protein coding genes, miRNA, tRNA, etc.). Whatever the sequencing technique, whatever the organism.

----

**Official documentation of the tool**


- https://github.com/biocompibens/ALFA

----

**Detailed example**

- https://github.com/biocompibens/ALFA#detailed-example

----

**Nota Bene**

1. **Input 1: Annotation File**


	| ALFA requires as first input an annotation file (sequence, genome...) in gtf format in order to generate indexes that will be used in a 2nd step of the program.
	| Indexes are files which list all the coordinates of all categories (stop codon, 5'-UTR, CDS, intergenic...) and biotypes (protein coding genes, miRNA, tRNA, ...) encountered in the annotated sequence.
	
.. class:: warningmark

Gtf File must be sorted.

.. class:: infomark

Generation of indexes from an annotation file may be time consuming (i.e ~10min for the human genome). Thus, ALFA allows the user to submit directly indexes generated in previous runs.

2. **Input 2: Reads**

	| ALFA requires as second input a single or a set of mapped reads file(s) in either bam or bedgraph format. These files are required to intersect the coordinates of the mapped reads with the associated categories and biotypes on the annotated sequence.
	| The strandness option determines which strand of the annotated sequence will be taken into account during this intersection.

.. class:: warningmark

Bam or Bedgraph file(s) must be sorted.

<!--
.. class:: warningmark

For oriented reads (either matching the forward strand or the reverse strand), 'forward' or 'reverse' strandness must be selected.

.. class:: warningmark

For paired-end or non-oriented reads, 'unstranded' strandness must be selected.
-->

3. **Output files**

	| The result of the intersection is a count file displaying the count of nucleotides in the reads for each genomic categories and biotypes. From this count file, plots of the raw and normalized distributions of the reads among these categories are generated.
	| In the output files section, the user can choose what kind of files he desires as ALFA output. Categories Count File and Plots are proposed by default. 

.. class:: infomark

The user can also select the 'indexes' option as output. This option is interesting if you plan to run ALFA again with the same submitted annotation file. *See Nota Bene/Input 1: Annotation File for more information.*
