This repository is an example of running the germline alignment and variant calling pipeline, based on Best Practices Genome Analysis Pipeline by Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, on Cromwell on Azure.
Learn more about using Azure for your Cromwell WDL workflows on our GitHub repo! - Cromwell on Azure.
This repository is a fork from the original and has all the required changes to run the WDL workflow on Cromwell on Azure.
Here, you can find the WDL file and an example inputs JSON file with links to data hosted on a public Azure Storage account. You can use the "datasettestinputs" storage account directly as a relative path, like in the inputs JSON file.
The WholeGenomeGermlineSingleSample.trigger.json trigger file is ready to use. You can start the workflow on your instance of Cromwell on Azure, using these instructions.
Workflows used for germline processing in whole genome sequence data.
This WDL pipeline implements data pre-processing and initial variant calling (GVCF generation) according to the GATK Best Practices (June 2016) for germline SNP and Indel discovery in human whole-genome sequencing data.
- Human whole-genome paired-end sequencing data in unmapped BAM (uBAM) format
- One or more read groups, one per uBAM file, all belonging to a single sample (SM)
- Input uBAM files must additionally comply with the following requirements:
-
- filenames all have the same suffix (we use ".unmapped.bam")
-
- files must pass validation by ValidateSamFile
-
- reads are provided in query-sorted order
-
- all reads must have an RG tag
- Reference genome must be Hg38 with ALT contigs
- Cram, cram index, and cram md5
- GVCF and its gvcf index
- BQSR Report
- Several Summary Metrics
- GATK 4.0.10.1
- Picard 2.20.0-SNAPSHOT
- Samtools 1.3.1
- Python 2.7
- Cromwell version support
- Successfully tested on v47
- Does not work on versions < v23 due to output syntax
- The provided JSON is a generic ready to use example template for the workflow. It is the user’s responsibility to correctly set the reference and resource variables for their own particular test case using the GATK Tool and Tutorial Documentations.
