GIGGLE is a genomics search engine that identifies and ranks the significance of shared genomic loci between query features and thousands of genome interval files.
For questions and discussion about GIGGLE please visit/join the mailing list: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/giggle-discuss
For more information about how GIGGLE works, please read the manuscript in Nature Methods: https://www.nature.com/articles/nmeth.4556
Or watch a presentation about GIGGLE on YouTube (14m 37s)
GIGGLE has two high-level functions:
indexcreates an index from a directory of bgzipped annotations (BED files or VCF files)searchtakes a region or a file of regions and searches them against an index
giggle, v0.6.3
usage: giggle <command> [options]
index Create an index
search Search an index
giggle, v0.6.3
usage: giggle index -i <input files> -o <output dir> -f
options:
-s Files are sorted
-i Files to index (e.g. data/*.gz)
-o Index output directory
-m Metadata config file
-f For reindex if output directory exists
Learn more about the Metadata config file here
giggle, v0.6.3
usage: giggle search -i <index directory> [options]
options:
-i giggle index directory
-r <regions (CSV)>
-q <query file>
-o give results per record in the query file (omits empty results)
-c give counts by indexed file
-s give significance by indexed file (requires query file)
-v give full record results
-f print results for files that match a pattern (regex CSV)
-g genome size for significance testing (default 3095677412)
-l list the files in the index
-m load metadata index
-u query filter
To demonstrate GIGGLE indexing and searching, we will curate and query a genome repeat reference dataset.
This example will use gargs from https://github.com/brentp/gargs
wget -O gargs https://github.com/brentp/gargs/releases/download/v0.3.8/gargs_linux
chmod +x gargs
or if you are on a Mac
wget -O gargs https://github.com/brentp/gargs/releases/download/v0.3.8/gargs_darwin
chmod +x gargs
This reference will be based on the following annotation from the UCSC genome browser:
- Repeat Masker
- Segmental Duplications
- Microsatellites
- Simple Repeats
UCSC stores data as tables, and the relevant columns vary between files, so we must take some care in curating the data.
mkdir repeat
url="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/rmsk.txt.gz"
curl -s $url | gunzip -c | cut -f 6,7,8,11,12,13 > repeat/rmsk.bed
url="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/simpleRepeat.txt.gz"
curl -s $url | gunzip -c | cut -f 2,3,4,17 > repeat/simpleRepeat.bed
url="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/microsat.txt.gz"
curl -s $url | gunzip -c | cut -f 2,3,4 > repeat/microsat.bed
url="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/genomicSuperDups.txt.gz"
curl -s $url | gunzip -c | cut -f 2,3,4,5 > repeat/genomicSuperDups.bed
url="http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/chainSelf.txt.gz"
curl -s $url | gunzip -c | cut -f 3,5,6,7,10,11 > repeat/chainSelf.bed
Once all of the data are in bed files in the repeat directory, we sort and bgzip the
files then index.
mkdir repeat_sort
giggle/scripts/sort_bed "repeat/*.bed" repeat_sort 4
giggle index -i "repeat_sort/*gz" -o repeat_sort_b -f -s
A GIGGLE index can be queried and the output formatted in a variety of ways. The most basic is to search a single interval and get the number of overlaps for each database file.
giggle search -i repeat_sort_b -r 1:200457776-200457776
#repeat_sort/chainSelf.bed.gz size:1058543 overlaps:0
#repeat_sort/genomicSuperDups.bed.gz size:51599 overlaps:0
#repeat_sort/microsat.bed.gz size:41572 overlaps:0
#repeat_sort/rmsk.bed.gz size:5298130 overlaps:1
#repeat_sort/simpleRepeat.bed.gz size:962714 overlaps:0
To search only a subset of database files use the -f option, which takes a
comma separated list of regular expressions. Only those database files that
match one of the regular expressions will be considered.
giggle search -i repeat_sort_b -r 1:200457776-200457776 -f rmsk,simple
#repeat_sort/rmsk.bed.gz size:5298130 overlaps:1
#repeat_sort/simpleRepeat.bed.gz size:962714 overlaps:0
To retrieve the original records for each overlap, use the -v option. This
is useful for detailed filtering and summaries.
giggle search -i repeat_sort_b -r 1:200457776-200457776 -f rmsk,simple -v
chr1 200457488 200457811 L2a LINE L2 repeat_sort/rmsk.bed.gz
GIGGLE also accepts query files in either bed.gz or vcf.gz formats. When a
query file is given all of the above options are valid. In addition, GIGGLE can
perform statistical tests between the query file and each database file using the
-s option. These tests include the:
- odds ratio that estimates the enrichment of observed v. expected
- the Fisher's two tailed, left tailed, and right tailed tests that estimate p-values
- the GIGGLE combo score that combines the odds ratio and Fisher's two tailed tests
giggle search -i repeat_sort_b -q bed.bed.gz -s

To host the site shown in Supplemental Figure 3, you will need host web servers for both
the Roadmap Epigenomics data and the UCSC data. Here we will run both servers on the same
host from ports 8080 and 8081 and access the web services using localhost, but these
are general steps and apply to many other configurations including hosting the data sets
on different servers.
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/layerlab/giggle/roadmap/roadmap_sort.tar.gz
tar -zxvf roadmap_sort.tar.gz

Pass these two services to the web interface through URL arguments:
