- export: Improve printing of error messages with missing or conflicting author data. See issue 274
- filter: Improve printing of dropped strains to include reasons why strains were dropped. See PR 367
- refine: Add support for command line flag
--keep-polytomies
to not resolve polytomies when producing a time tree. See PR 345
- Catch and throw error when there are duplicate strain names. See PR 356
- Fix missing annotation of "parent" attribute for the root node
- Run shell commands with more robust error checking. See PR 350
- Better handling of rerooting options for trees without temporal information. See issue 348
- Small fixes in geographic coordinate file
- Print more useful error message if Python recursion limit is reached. See issue 328
- Print more useful error message if vcftools if missing. See PR 312
- Significantly relax version requirements specified in setup.py for biopython, pandas, etc... Additionally, move lesser used packages (cvxopt, matplotlib, seaborn) into an "extras_require" field. This should reduce conflicts with other pip installed packages. See PR 323
- Include additional country lat/longs in base data
-
ancestral: Adds a new flag
--output-sequences
and logic to support saving ancestral sequences and leaves from the given tree to a FASTA file. Also adds a redundant, more specific flag--output-node-data
that will replace the current--output
flag in the next major version release of augur. For now, we issue a deprecation warning when the--output
flag is used. Note that FASTA output is only allowed for FASTA inputs and not for VCFs. We don't allow FASTA output for VCFs anywhere else and, if we did here, the output files would be very large. See PR 293 -
frequencies: Allow
--method kde
flag to compute frequencies via KDE kernels. This complements existing method of--method diffusion
. Generally, KDE frequencies should be more robust and faster to run, but will not project as well when forecasting frequencies into the future. See PR 271
-
ancestral, traits, translate: Print warning if supplied tree is missing internal node names (normally provided by running
augur refine
). See PR 283 -
Include pip in Conda enviroment file. See PR 309
- Document environment variables respected by Augur
-
Remove matplotlib and seaborn from
setup.py
install. These are still called a few places in augur (liketiters.validate()
), but it was deemed rare enough that remove this fromsetup.py
would ease general install for most users. Additionally, the ipdb debugger has been moved to dev dependencies. See PR 291 -
Refactor logic to read trees from multiple formats into a function. Adds a new function
read_tree
to theutils
module that tries to safely handle reading trees in multiple input formats. See PR 310
- tree: Add support for the GTR+R10 substitution model.
- tree: Support parentheses in node names when using IQ-TREE.
- Use the center of the UK for its coordinates instead of London.
- filter: Mark
--output
required, which it always was but wasn't marked. - filter: Avoid error when no excluded strains file is provided.
- export: Fix for preliminary version 2 schema support.
- refine: Correct error handling when the tree file is missing or empty.
- Add examples of Augur usage in the wild.
- Rename and reorganize CLI and Python API pages a little bit to make "where do I start learning to use Augur?" clearer to non-devs.
- Relax version requirements of pandas and seaborn. The hope is this will make installation smoother (particularly alongside other packages which require newer pandas versions) while not encountering breaking changes in newer versions ourselves.
- Documentation is now available online for the augur CLI and Python API via Read The Docs: https://nextstrain-augur.readthedocs.io. The latest version on RTD points to the git master branch, and the stable version to the most recent tagged release. Instructions for building the docs locally are in the README.
- ancestral: New option to
--keep-ambiguous
, which will not infer nucleotides at ambiguous (N) sites on tip sequences and instead leave as 'N' See PR 280. - ancestral: New option to
--keep-overhangs
, which will not infer nucleotides for gaps on either side of the alignment and instead leave as '-'. See PR 286. - clades: This module has been reconfigured to identify clade defining mutations on
top of a reference rather than identifying mutations along the tree. The command
line arguments are the same except for the addition of
--reference
, which explicitly passes in a reference sequence. If--reference
is not defined, then reference will be drawn from the root node of the phylogeny by looking forsequence
attribute attached to root node of--tree
. See PR 288. - refine: Revise rooting behavior. Previously
--root
took 'best', 'residual', 'rsq' and 'min_dev' as options. In this update--root
takes 'best', least-squares', 'min_dev' and 'oldest' as rooting options. This eliminates 'residual' and 'rsq' as options. This is a backwards-incompatible change. This requires updating TreeTime to version 0.5.4 or above. See PR 263. - refine: Add
--keep-root
option that overrides--root
specification to preserve tree rooting. See PR 263. - refine: Add
--covariance
and--no-covariance
options that specify TreeTime behavior. See PR 263. - titers: This command now throws an
InsufficientDataException
if there are not sufficient titers to infer a model. This is paired with a new--allow-empty-model
flag that proceeds past theInsufficientDataException
and writes out a model JSON corresponding to an 'empty' model. See PR 281. - By default JSONs are written with
index=1
to give a pretty-printed JSON. However, this adds significant file size to large tree JSONs. If the environment variableAUGUR_MINIFY_JSON
is set then minified JSONs are printed instead. This mirror the explicit--minify-json
argument available toaugur export
. See PR 278.
- export: Cast numeric values to strings for export. See issue 287.
- export: Legend order preserves ordering passed in by user for traits that have default colorings ('country' and 'region'). See PR 284.
- refine: Previously, the
--root
argument was silently ignored when no timetree was inferred. Re-rooting with an outgroup is sensible even without a timetree. See PR 282.
-
distance: New interface for specifying distances between sequences. This is a backwards-incompatible change. Refer to
augur distance --help
for all the details. -
export: Add a
--minify-json
flag to omit indentation in Auspice JSONs.
- frequencies: Emit one-based coordinates (instead of zero-based) for KDE-based mutation frequencies
- Include additional country lat/longs in base data
- titers: fix calculation of
mean_potentency
for model export
- Update to TreeTime 0.5.3
- tree: Fix bug in printing causing errors in Python versions <3.6
- tree: Alter site masking to not be so memory intensive
- filter: Allow negative matches to
--exclude-where
. For example,--exclude-where country!=usa
would exclude all samples where metadatacountry
does not equalusa
. - tree: Allow
--exclude-sites
to work with FASTA input. Ensure that indexing of input sites is one-based.
- fix loading of strains when loading titers from file, previously strains had not been filtered to match the tree appropriately
- frequencies: Add
--ignore-char
and--minimal-clade-size
as options. - frequencies: Include
--stiffness
and--inertia
as options. - titers: Allow multiple titer date files in
--titers
import.
- filter: Fix

counts
inaugur frequencies
output JSON to support downstream plotting.

-
,augur parse
to leave-
as is and remove white space. Also delimit[
and]

. - Fix bug in naming of temp IQTREE fixes to prevent conflicts from simultaneous builds.
- Include additional country lat/longs in base data
- Remove non-modular measles build in favor of nextstrain/measles repo.
- Update dependencies
- filter: Fix
--include-where
. Adds anall_seq
variable needed by the logic to include records by value. This was previously working for VCF but threw an exception for sequences in FASTA format. - Update flu reference viruses and lat longs.
- Update dependencies
- reconstruct-sequences: Include
augur reconstruct-sequences
module that reconstructs alignments from mutations inferred on the tree - distance: Include
augur distance
module that calculates the distance between amino acid sequences across entire genes or at a predefined subset of sites - lbi: Include
augur lbi
module that calculates local branching index (LBI) for a given tree and one or more sets of parameters. - frequencies: Include
--method kde
as option toaugur frequencies
, separate from the existing--method diffusion
logic. KDE frequencies are faster and better for smaller clades but don't extrapolate as well as diffusion frequencies. - titers: Enable annotation of nodes in a tree from the substitution model
- translate: Nucleotide ("nuc") annotation for non-bacterial builds starts at 0 again, not 1, fixing a regression.
- Schemas: Correct coordinate system description for genome start/end annotations.

--min-length
option. -
filter: Allow comments in files passed to
--exclude
. -

--help
message
-
align and tree: The --nthreads option now accepts the special value "auto" to automatically set the number of threads to the number of CPU cores available.
-
Alias
augur --version
toaugur version
-
tree: The --nthreads option is now respected. Previously all tree builders were ignoring the value and using either 2 threads (RAxML, IQ-TREE) or as many threads as cores (FastTree, if the OpenMP version).
-
translate: Check for and, if necessary pad, nucleotide sequences which aren't a multiple of 3 earlier to avoid errors later.
-
export: Optionally write inferred nucleotide and amino acid sequences (or mutations) to a separate file.
-
export: Omit genes with no amino acid mutations.
-
validate: Allow underscores in gene names.
-
refine: Remove unused --nthreads argument.
-
ancestral, filter, tree, refine: Exit 1 instead of -1 on error.
-
Print the help message, instead of throwing an exception, when
augur
