nf-core/pacvar

Edit

Introduction

1. Demultiplex reads (lima)
2. Align reads (pbmm2)
3. Sort and Index alignments (SAMtools)

wgs workflow

1. Choice of SNP calling routes: a. (deepvariant) b. (HaplotypeCaller)
2. Call SVs (pbsv)
3. Index VCF files (bcftools)
4. Phase SNPS, SVs and BAM files (hiphase)

repeat workflow

1. Genotype tandem repeats - produce spanning bams and vcf (TRGT)
2. Index and Sort tandem tepeat spanning bam (SAMtools)
3. Plot repeat motif plots (TRGT)
4. Sort spanning VCF (bcftools)

Usage

First, prepare a samplesheet with your input data that looks as follows:

samplesheet.csv:

sample,bam,pbi
CONTROL,AEG588A1_S1_L002_R1_001.bam,AEG588A1_S1_L002_R1_001.pbi

Each row represents an unaligned bam file and their associated index.

Now, you can run the pipeline using:

nextflow run nf-core/pacvar \
   -profile <docker/singularity/.../institute> \
   --input samplesheet.csv \
   --outdir <OUTDIR> \
   --workflow <wgs/repeat> \
   --barcodes barcode.fasta \
   --intervals intervals.bed \
   --outdir <OUTDIR>

optional paramaters include: —skip_demultiplexing, —skip_snp —skip_sv —skip_phase

For more details and further functionality, please refer to the usage documentation and the parameter documentation.
