SNP calling pipeline

Status: Alpha

Authors: Freerk van Dijk, Morris Swertz

Based on Broad GATK pipeline.

To perform the analysis as fast and good as possible the pipeline has been divided into several small processes. These processes are all numbered and can be found below, including commands, input and output files starting with pre-alignment and ending with variation calling & filtering.

Simplified Overview

This simplified overview this schema hides intermediate sort and indexing steps and only shows data inputs/outputs first time they occur.

Workflow 1: genome reference file creation

This workflow creates reference files per chromosome including:

  • genome, dbsnp and indel vcfs per chromosome
  • realign targets for faster realignment target creation
  • index files for samtools and bwa

  • genome.chr.fa - downloaded from genome supplier (now hg19)
  • dbsnpXYZ.rod - downloaded reference SNPs from dbsnp (now 129)
  • indelsXYZ.vcf - downloaded reference indels from 1KG

Workflow outputs:

  • genome.chr.fa - cleaned headers
  • genome.chr.fa.fa - index for samtools
  • genome.chr.fa.<format> - multilple index files for bwa
  • dbsnpXYZ.chr.rod - split per chromosome
  • indelsXYZ.chr.vcf - split per chromosome
  • genome.chr.realign.intervals - targets for realignment

Workflow 2: Alignment per Lane, per Chr

This workflow aligns reads per lane and chromosome, including:

  • re-alignment to prevend false SNP calls caused by indels (using known indels)

  • lane.2.fq.gz - raw reads for lane, pair end 2
