Output

This document describes the processes and output produced by the pipeline.

Main steps:

  • preprocessing of fasta/reference files (fai, fastagz, gzfai & gzi)

    • These steps can be skipped if the the --genome options is used or the fai, fastagz, gzfai & gzi files are supplied.
  • preprocessing of BAM files

    • Also can be skipped if BAM files contain necessary read group line
  • make examples

    • Gets bam files and converts them to images ( named examples )
  • call variants

    • Does the variant calling based on the ML trained model.
  • post processing

    • Trasforms the variant calling output (tfrecord file) into a standard vcf file.

VCF

The output from DeepVariant is a variant call file or vcf v4.2

Output directory: results (by default)

  • pipeline_info
    • produced by nextflow
  • {bamSampleName}.vcf
    • output vcf file produced by deepvariant
