Installation

Platforms

Dorado is heavily-optimised for Nvidia A100 and H100 GPUs and will deliver maximal performance on systems with these GPUs.

Dorado has been tested extensively and supported on the following systems:

Platform	GPU/CPU	Minimum Software Requirements
Linux x86_64	(G)V100, A100	CUDA Driver ≥450.80.02
	H100	CUDA Driver ≥520
Linux arm64	Jetson Orin	Linux for Tegra ≥34.1.1
Windows x86_64	(G)V100, A100	CUDA Driver ≥452.39
	H100	CUDA Driver ≥520
Apple	Apple Silicon (M1/M2)

Linux or Windows systems not listed above but which have Nvidia GPUs with ≥8 GB VRAM and architecture from Pascal onwards (except P100/GP100) have not been widely tested but are expected to work. When basecalling with Apple devices, we recommend systems with ≥16 GB of unified memory.

If you encounter problems with running on your system, please report an issue.

AWS Benchmarks on Nvidia GPUs for Dorado 0.3.0 are available here. Please note: Dorado's basecalling speed is continuously improving, so these benchmarks may not reflect performance with the latest release.

Performance tips

For optimal performance, Dorado requires POD5 file input. Please convert your .fast5 files before basecalling.
Dorado will automatically detect your GPU's free memory and select an appropriate batch size.
Dorado will automatically run in multi-GPU cuda:all mode. If you have a hetrogenous collection of GPUs, select the faster GPUs using the --device flag (e.g --device cuda:0,2). Not doing this will have a detrimental impact on performance.

Running

The following are helpful commands for getting started with Dorado. To see all options and their defaults, run dorado -h and dorado <subcommand> -h.

Model selection foreword

Dorado can automatically select a basecalling model using a selection of model speed (fast, hac, sup) and the pod5 data. This feature is not supported for fast5 data. If the model does not exist locally, dorado will automatically downloaded the model and delete it when finished. To re-use downloaded models, manually download models using dorado download.

Dorado continues to support model paths.

For details read Automatic model selection complex.

Simplex basecalling

To run Dorado basecalling, using the automatically downloaded hac model on a directory of POD5 files or a single POD5 file (.fast5 files are supported, but will not be as performant).

$ dorado basecaller hac pod5s/ > calls.bam

To basecall a single file, simply replace the directory pod5s/ with a path to your data file.

If basecalling is interrupted, it is possible to resume basecalling from a BAM file. To do so, use the --resume-from flag to specify the path to the incomplete BAM file. For example:

$ dorado basecaller hac pod5s/ --resume-from incomplete.bam > calls.bam

calls.bam will contain all of the reads from incomplete.bam plus the new basecalls (incomplete.bam can be discarded after basecalling is complete).

Note: it is important to choose a different filename for the BAM file you are writing to when using --resume-from. If you use the same filename, the interrupted BAM file will lose the existing basecalls and basecalling will restart from the beginning.

DNA adapter and primer trimming

Dorado can detect and remove any adapter and/or primer sequences from the beginning and end of DNA reads. Note that if you intend to demultiplex the reads at some later time, trimming adapters and primers may result in some portions of the flanking regions of the barcodes being removed, which could interfere with correct demultiplexing.

In-line with basecalling

By default, dorado basecaller will attempt to detect any adapter or primer sequences at the beginning and ending of reads, and remove them from the output sequence.

This functionality can be altered by using either the --trim or --no-trim options with dorado basecaller. The --no-trim option will prevent the trimming of detected barcode sequences as well as the detection and trimming of adapter and primer sequences.

The --trim option takes as its argument one of the following values:

all This is the the same as the default behavior. Any detected adapters or primers will be trimmed, and if barcoding is enabled then any detected barcodes will be trimmed.
primers This will result in any detected adapters or primers being trimmed, but if barcoding is enabled the barcode sequences will not be trimmed.
adapters This will result in any detected adapters being trimmed, but primers will not be trimmed, and if barcoding is enabled then barcodes will not be trimmed either.
none This is the same as using the --no-trim option. Nothing will be trimmed.

If adapter/primer trimming is done in-line with basecalling in combination with demultiplexing, then the software will automatically ensure that the trimming of adapters and primers does not interfere with the demultiplexing process. However, if you intend to do demultiplexing later as a separate step, then it is recommended that you disable adapter/primer trimming when basecalling with the --no-trim option, to ensure that any barcode sequences remain completely intact in the reads.

Trimming existing datasets

Existing basecalled datasets can be scanned for adapter and/or primer sequences at either end, and trim any such found sequences. To do this, run:

$ dorado trim <reads> > trimmed.bam

<reads> can either be an HTS format file (e.g. FASTQ, BAM, etc.) or a stream of an HTS format (e.g. the output of Dorado basecalling).

The --no-trim-primers option can be used to prevent the trimming of primer sequences. In this case only adapter sequences will be trimmed.

If it is also your intention to demultiplex the data, then it is recommended that you demultiplex before trimming any adapters and primers, as trimming adapters and primers first may interfere with correct barcode classification.

The output of dorado trim will always be unaligned records, regardless of whether the input is aligned/sorted or not.

Custom primer trimming

The software automatically searches for primer sequences used in Oxford Nanopore kits. However, you can specify an alternative set of primer sequences to search for when trimming either in-line with basecalling, or in combination with the --trim option. In both cases this is accomplished using the --primer-sequences command line option, followed by the full path and filename of a FASTA file containing the primer sequences you want to search for. The record names of the sequences do not matter. Note that if you use this option the normal primer sequences built-in to the dorado software will not be searched for.

RNA adapter trimming

Adapters for RNA002 and RNA004 kits are automatically trimmed during basecalling. However, unlike in DNA, the RNA adapter cannot be trimmed post-basecalling.

Modified basecalling

Beyond the traditional A, T, C, and G basecalling, Dorado can also detect modified bases such as 5-methylcytosine (5mC), 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), and N⁶-methyladenosine (6mA). These modified bases play crucial roles in epigenetic regulation.

To call modifications, extend the models argument with a comma-separated list of modifications:

$ dorado basecaller hac,5mCG_5hmCG pod5s/ > calls.bam

Refer to the DNA models table's Compatible Modifications column to see available modifications that can be called with the --modified-bases option.

Modified basecalling is also supported with Duplex basecalling, where it produces hemi-methylation calls.

Duplex

To run Duplex basecalling, run the command:

$ dorado duplex sup pod5s/ > duplex.bam

When using the duplex command, two types of DNA sequence results will be produced: 'simplex' and 'duplex'. Any specific position in the DNA which is in a duplex read is also seen in two simplex strands (the template and complement). So, each DNA position which is duplex sequenced will be covered by a minimum of three separate readings in the output.

The dx tag in the BAM record for each read can be used to distinguish between simplex and duplex reads:

dx:i:1 for duplex reads.
dx:i:0 for simplex reads which don't have duplex offsprings.
dx:i:-1 for simplex reads which have duplex offsprings.

Dorado will report the duplex rate as the number of nucleotides in the duplex basecalls multiplied by two and divided by the total number of nucleotides in the simplex basecalls. This value is a close approximation for the proportion of nucleotides which participated in a duplex basecall.

Duplex basecalling can be performed with modified base detection, producing hemi-methylation calls for duplex reads:

$ dorado duplex hac,5mCG_5hmCG pod5s/ > duplex.bam

More information on how hemi-methylation calls are represented can be found in page 7 of the SAM specification document (version aa7440d) and Modkit documentation.

Alignment

Dorado supports aligning existing basecalls or producing aligned output directly.

To align existing basecalls, run:

$ dorado aligner <index> <reads>  > aligned.bam

where index is a reference to align to in (FASTQ/FASTA/.mmi) format and reads is a folder or file in any HTS format.

When reading from an input folder, dorado aligner also supports emitting aligned files to an output folder, which will preserve the file structure of the inputs:

$ dorado aligner <index> <input_read_folder> --output-dir <output_read_folder>

An alignment summary containing alignment statistics for each read can be generated with the --emit-summary option. The file will be saved in the --output-dir folder.

To basecall with alignment with duplex or simplex, run with the --reference option:

$ dorado basecaller <model> <reads> --reference <index> > calls.bam

Alignment uses minimap2 and by default uses the map-ont preset. This can be overridden with the -k and -w options to set kmer and window size respectively.

Sequencing Summary

The dorado summary command outputs a tab-separated file with read level sequencing information from the BAM file generated during basecalling. To create a summary, run:

$ dorado summary <bam> > summary.tsv

Note that summary generation is only available for reads basecalled from POD5 files. Reads basecalled from .fast5 files are not compatible with the summary command.

Barcode Classification

Dorado supports barcode classification for existing basecalls as well as producing classified basecalls directly.

In-line with basecalling

In this mode, reads are classified into their barcode groups during basecalling as part of the same command. To enable this, run:

$ dorado basecaller <model> <reads> --kit-name <barcode-kit-name> > calls.bam

This will result in a single output stream with classified reads. The classification will be reflected in the read group name as well as in the BC tag of the output record.

By default, Dorado is set up to trim the barcode from the reads. To disable trimming, add --no-trim to the cmdline.

The default heuristic for double-ended barcodes is to look for them on either end of the read. This results in a higher classification rate but can also result in a higher false positive count. To address this, dorado basecaller also provides a --barcode-both-ends option to force double-ended barcodes to be detected on both ends before classification. This will reduce false positives dramatically, but also lower overall classification rates.

The output from dorado basecaller can be demultiplexed into per-barcode BAMs using dorado demux. e.g.

$ dorado demux --output-dir <output-dir> --no-classify <input-bam>

This will output a BAM file per barcode in the output-dir.

The barcode information is reflected in the BAM RG header too. Therefore demultiplexing is also possible through samtools split. e.g.

$ samtools split -u <output-dir>/unclassified.bam -f "<output-dir>/<prefix>_%!.bam" <input-bam>

However, samtools split uses the full RG string as the filename suffix, which can result in very long file names. We recommend using dorado demux to split barcoded BAMs.

Classifying existing datasets

Existing basecalled datasets can be classified as well as demultiplexed into per-barcode BAMs using the standalone demux command in dorado. To use this, run

$ dorado demux --kit-name <kit-name> --output-dir <output-folder-for-demuxed-bams> <reads>

<reads> can either be a folder or a single file in an HTS format file (e.g. FASTQ, BAM, etc.) or a stream of an HTS format (e.g. the output of dorado basecalling).

This results in multiple BAM files being generated in the output folder, one per barcode (formatted as KITNAME_BARCODEXX.bam) and one for all unclassified reads. As with the in-line mode, --no-trim and --barcode-both-ends are also available as additional options.

If the input file is aligned/sorted and --no-trim is chosen, each of the output barcode-specific BAM files will also be sorted and indexed. However, if trimming is enabled (which is the default), the alignment information is removed and the output BAMs are unaligned. This is done because the alignment tags and positions are invalidated once a sequence is altered.

Here is an example output folder

$ dorado demux --kit-name SQK-RPB004 --output-dir /tmp/demux reads.fastq

$ ls -1 /tmp/demux
SQK-RPB004_barcode01.bam
SQK-RPB004_barcode02.bam
SQK-RPB004_barcode03.bam
...
unclassified.bam

A summary file listing each read and its classified barcode can be generated with the --emit-summary option in dorado demux. The file will be saved in the --output-dir folder.

Demultiplexing mapped reads

If the input data files contain mapping data, this information can be preserved in the output files. To do this, you must use the --no-trim option. Trimming the barcodes will invalidate any mapping information that may be contained in the input files, and therefore the application will exclude any mapping information if --no-trim is not specified.

It is also possible to get dorado demux to sort and index any output bam files that contain mapped reads. To enable this, use the --sort-bam option. If you use this option then you must also use the --no-trim option, as trimming will prevent any mapping information from being included in the output files. Index files (.bai extension) will only be created for BAM files that contain mapped reads and were sorted. Note that for large datasets sorting the output files may take a few minutes.

Using a sample sheet

Dorado is able to use a sample sheet to restrict the barcode classifications to only those present, and to apply aliases to the detected classifications. This is enabled by passing the path to a sample sheet to the --sample-sheet argument when using the basecaller or demux commands. See here for more information.

Custom barcodes

In addition to supporting the standard barcode kits from Oxford Nanopore, Dorado also supports specifying custom barcode kit arrangements and sequences. This is done by passing a barcode arrangement file via the --barcode-arrangement argument (either to dorado demux or dorado basecaller). Custom barcode sequences can optionally be specified via the --barcode-sequences option. See here for more details.

Poly(A) tail estimation

Dorado has initial support for estimating poly(A) tail lengths for cDNA (PCS and PCB kits) and RNA. Note that Oxford Nanopore cDNA reads are sequenced in two different orientations and Dorado poly(A) tail length estimation handles both (A and T homopolymers). This feature can be enabled by passing --estimate-poly-a to the basecaller command. It is disabled by default. The estimated tail length is stored in the pt:i tag of the output record. Reads for which the tail length could not be estimated will not have the pt:i tag.

Note that if this option is used, then adapter/primer/barcode trimming will be automatically disabled for DNA.

Available basecalling models

To download all available Dorado models, run:

$ dorado download --model all

Decoding Dorado model names

The names of Dorado models are systematically structured, each segment corresponding to a different aspect of the model, which include both chemistry and run settings. Below is a sample model name explained:

[email protected]

Analyte Type (dna): This denotes the type of analyte being sequenced. For DNA sequencing, it is represented as dna. If you are using a Direct RNA Sequencing Kit, this will be rna002 or rna004, depending on the kit.
Pore Type (r10.4.1): This section corresponds to the type of flow cell used. For instance, FLO-MIN114/FLO-FLG114 is indicated by r10.4.1, while FLO-MIN106D/FLO-FLG001 is signified by r9.4.1.
Chemistry Type (e8.2): This represents the chemistry type, which corresponds to the kit used for sequencing. For example, Kit 14 chemistry is denoted by e8.2 and Kit 10 or Kit 9 are denoted by e8.
Translocation Speed (400bps): This parameter, selected at the run setup in MinKNOW, refers to the speed of translocation. Prior to starting your run, a prompt will ask if you prefer to run at 260 bps or 400 bps. The former yields more accurate results but provides less data. As of MinKNOW version 23.04, the 260 bps option has been deprecated.
Model Type (hac): This represents the size of the model, where larger models yield more accurate basecalls but take more time. The three types of models are fast, hac, and sup. The fast model is the quickest, sup is the most accurate, and hac provides a balance between speed and accuracy. For most users, the hac model is recommended.
Model Version Number (v4.3.0): This denotes the version of the model. Model updates are regularly released, and higher version numbers typically signify greater accuracy.

DNA models:

Below is a table of the available basecalling models and the modified basecalling models that can be used with them. The bolded models are for the latest released condition with 5 kHz data.

The versioning of modification models is bound to the basecalling model. This means that the modification model version is reset for each new simplex model release. For example, 6mA@v1 compatible with v4.3.0 basecalling models is more recent than 6mA@v2 compatible with v4.2.0 basecalling models.

RNA models:

Note: The BAM format does not support U bases. Therefore, when Dorado is performing RNA basecalling, the resulting output files will include T instead of U. This is consistent across output file types. The same applies to parsing inputs. Any input HTS file (e.g. FASTQ generated by guppy/basecall_server) with U bases is not handled by dorado.

Basecalling Models	Compatible Modifications	Modifications Model Version	Data Sampling Frequency
[email protected]	N/A	N/A	4 kHz
[email protected]	N/A	N/A	4 kHz
[email protected]	m6A_DRACH	v1	4 kHz
rna002_70bps_fast@v3	N/A	N/A	3 kHz
rna002_70bps_hac@v3	N/A	N/A	3 kHz

Automatic model selection complex

The model argument in dorado can specify either a model path or a model complex. A model complex must start with the simplex model speed, and follows this syntax:

(fast|hac|sup)[@(version|latest)][,modification[@(version|latest)]][,...]

Automatically selected modification models will always match the base simplex model version and will be the latest compatible version unless a specific version is set by the user. Automatic modification model selection will not allow the mixing of modification models which are bound to different simplex model versions.

Here are a few examples of model complexes:

Model Complex	Description
fast	Latest compatible fast model
hac	Latest compatible hac model
sup	Latest compatible sup model
hac@latest	Latest compatible hac simplex basecalling model
[email protected]	Simplex basecalling hac model with version `v4.2.0`
[email protected]	Simplex basecalling hac model with version `v3.5.0`
hac,5mCG_5hmCG	Latest compatible hac simplex model and latest 5mCG_5hmCG modifications model for the chosen basecall model
hac,5mCG_5hmCG@v2	Latest compatible hac simplex model and 5mCG_5hmCG modifications model with version `v2.0.0`
sup,5mCG_5hmCG,6mA	Latest compatible sup model and latest compatible 5mCG_5hmCG and 6mA modifications models

Developer quickstart

Linux dependencies

The following packages are necessary to build Dorado in a barebones environment (e.g. the official ubuntu:jammy docker image).

$ apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        curl \
        git \
        ca-certificates \
        build-essential \
        nvidia-cuda-toolkit \
        libhdf5-dev \
        libssl-dev \
        libzstd-dev \
        cmake \
        autoconf \
        automake

Clone and build

$ git clone https://github.com/nanoporetech/dorado.git dorado
$ cd dorado
$ cmake -S . -B cmake-build
$ cmake --build cmake-build --config Release -j
$ ctest --test-dir cmake-build

The -j flag will use all available threads to build Dorado and usage is around 1-2 GB per thread. If you are constrained by the amount of available memory on your system, you can lower the number of threads i.e. -j 4.

After building, you can run Dorado from the build directory ./cmake-build/bin/dorado or install it somewhere else on your system i.e. /opt (note: you will need the relevant permissions for the target installation directory).

$ cmake --install cmake-build --prefix /opt

Pre-commit

The project uses pre-commit to ensure code is consistently formatted; you can set this up using pip:

$ pip install pre-commit
$ pre-commit install

Troubleshooting Guide

Library Path Errors

Dorado comes equipped with the necessary libraries (such as CUDA) for its execution. However, on some operating systems, the system libraries might be chosen over Dorado's. This discrepancy can result in various errors, for instance, CuBLAS error 8.

To resolve this issue, you need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to Dorado's libraries. Use a command like the following on Linux (change path as appropriate):

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<PATH_TO_DORADO>/dorado-x.y.z-linux-x64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

On macOS, the equivalent export would be (change path as appropriate):

$ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=<PATH_TO_DORADO>/dorado-x.y.z-osx-arm64/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

This will let the Dorado binary pick up the shipped libraries and you will not need to manually install libaec and zstd.

Improving the Speed of Duplex Basecalling

Duplex basecalling is an IO-intensive process and can perform poorly if using networked storage or HDD. This can generally be improved by splitting up POD5 files appropriately.

Firstly install the POD5 python tools:

The POD5 documentation can be found here.

$ pip install pod5

Then run pod5 view to generate a table containing information to split on specifically, the "channel" information.

$ pod5 view /path/to/your/dataset/ --include "read_id, channel" --output summary.tsv

This will create "summary.tsv" file which should look like:

read_id channel
0000173c-bf67-44e7-9a9c-1ad0bc728e74    109
002fde30-9e23-4125-9eae-d112c18a81a7    463
...

Now run pod5 subset to copy records from your source data into outputs per-channel. This might take some time depending on the size of your dataset

$ pod5 subset /path/to/your/dataset/ --summary summary.tsv --columns channel --output split_by_channel

The command above will create the output directory split_by_channel and write into it one pod5 file per unique channel. Duplex basecalling these split reads will now be much faster.

Running Duplex Basecalling in a Distributed Fashion

If running duplex basecalling in a distributed fashion (e.g. on a SLURM or Kubernetes cluster) it is important to split POD5 files as described above. The reason is that duplex basecalling requires aggregation of reads from across a whole sequencing run, which will be distributed over multiple POD5 files. The splitting strategy described above ensures that all reads which need to be aggregated are in the same POD5 file. Once the split is performed one can execute multiple jobs against smaller subsets of POD5 (e.g one job per 100 channels). This will allow basecalling to be distributed across nodes on a cluster. This will generate multiple BAMs which can be merged. This apporach also offers some resilience as if any job fails it can be restarted without having to re-run basecalling against the entire dataset.

GPU Out of Memory Errors

Dorado operates on a broad range of GPUs but it is primarily developed for Nvidia A100/H100 and Apple Silicon. Dorado attempts to find the optimal batch size for basecalling. Nevertheless, on some low-RAM GPUs, users may face out of memory crashes.

A potential solution to this issue could be setting a manual batch size using the following command:

dorado basecaller --batchsize 64 ...

Note: Reducing memory consumption by modifying the chunksize parameter is not recommended as it influences the basecalling results.

Low GPU Utilization

Low GPU utilization can lead to reduced basecalling speed. This problem can be identified using tools such as nvidia-smi and nvtop. Low GPU utilization often stems from I/O bottlenecks in basecalling. Here are a few steps you can take to improve the situation:

Opt for POD5 instead of .fast5: POD5 has superior I/O performance and will enhance the basecall speed in I/O constrained environments.
Transfer data to the local disk before basecalling: Slow basecalling often occurs because network disks cannot supply Dorado with adequate speed. To mitigate this, make sure your data is as close to your host machine as possible.
Choose SSD over HDD: Particularly for duplex basecalling, using a local SSD can offer significant speed advantages. This is due to the duplex basecalling algorithm's reliance on heavy random access of data.
