For this exercise we will use the epi2me-labs' wf-human-variation pipeline. Find information on the pipeline at https://labs.epi2me.io/workflows/wf-human-variation/
The pipeline is designed to analyse human genomic data. Specifically the workflow can perform the following:
diploid variant calling
structural variant calling
analysis of modified base calls
copy number variant calling
short tandem repeat (STR) expansion genotyping
Compute requirements
Recommended requirements:
CPUs = 32
Memory = 128GB
Minimum requirements:
CPUs = 16
Memory = 32GB
Approximate run time: Variable depending on whether it is targeted sequencing or whole genome sequencing, as well as coverage and the individual analyses requested. For instance, a 90X human sample run (options: --snp --sv --mod --str --cnv --phased --sex male) takes less than 8h with recommended resources.
NOTE: in contrast to the nf-core/sarek pipeline that we used in session 2, the epi2me-labs/wf-human-variation pipeline runs in ‘local’ mode (needs large amount of CPUs and RAM memory), while the nf-core/sarek pipeline will use a ‘pbspro’ mode, where the pipeline will submit individual jobs to the HPC cluster and define the CPUs and memory for each task individually.
epi2me-labs/wf-human-variation
Nextflow pipelines have the --help option to print the parameter options that are available to the user to analyse input data.
First we need to load java:
module load java
Now run the following command to see the pipeline options:
nextflow run epi2me-labs/wf-human-variation -profile singularity --help
