Input at gene count levels #43
Comments
Hi, Just checking in about the above question too. The key issue is every time we have a new rare disease family, can we avoid having to rerun the entire analysis for all the many control samples and start the analysis from some intermediate step. This is analogous to the n + 1 problem in joint genotyping analysis. Thanks. |
Hi, for the time being, you have to keep all the BAM files. The BAM files are the main input of DROP. Snakemake (and the way we designed DROP) checks that the BAM files of the samples that are going to be processed exist, and then begins with the analysis. |
I see. How do I configure the pipeline so it merges the new samples with the prior samples? Does it have to be in the same master directory of the original analysis, with a new config.yaml file? |
You have to add the new samples as rows in the sample annotation and assign them to the corresponding DROP GROUP that you want to merge them with. Then, Snakemake will recognize that there are new processes to be done. |
If I add a new sample to the sample annotation, does it have to be in the same original drop analysis folder? I'm guessing yes, but just want to make sure. |
What exactly has to be in the same original analysis folder? |
To clarify, if I start with one analysis with 10 of my samples + 100 control samples. How do I set this up exactly? Do I just change the sample annotation table in the same DROP project folder of the first analysis? Because above you wrote that Snakemake can do this without having to recalculate all the processing for the samples from the first analysis of 10 + 100 samples. But in order for that to work, that means that all the analysis files must still exist from the first analysis, which I am guessing means that the second analysis must occur in the same folder as the first analysis. Is that correct? |
Yes, you change the sample annotation in the same DROP project folder and then execute |
Ok thanks. |
Hi, Saving all the control BAM files for input into DROP takes a lot of space. After I run DROP the first time, is there any kind of intermediate file for each sample (gene and exon/intron counts for example) that I can save instead for next time I want to run those samples, without having to save the original BAM files?
