Single sample DNA analysis is performed using the analyze.php
script.
Please have a look at the help using:
> php megSAP/src/Pipelines/analyze.php --help
The main parameters that you have to provide are:
folder
- The sample folder, which contains the the FASTQ files as produced by bcl2fastq2.name
- The sample name, which must be a prefix of the FASTQ files.steps
- Analysis steps to perform. Please usema,vc
to perform mapping and variant calling (with annotation).system
- The processing system INI file.
A poster about megSAP which describes the all steps of the single-sample analysis pipeline can be found here.
The analysis pipeline assumes that that all data to analyze resides in a sample folder as produced by Illumina's bcl2fastq tool. If that is the case, the whole analysis is performed with one command, for example like this:
php megSAP/src/Pipelines/analyze.php -folder Sample_NA12878_01 -name NA12878_01 -system hpHBOCv5.ini -steps ma,vc
In the example above, the configuration of the pipeline is done using the hpHBOCv5.ini
file, which contains all necessary information (see processing system INI file).
A short instruction how to setup the DRAGEN can be found here.
To run an analysis with DRAGEN mapping you simply has to pass the parameter -use_dragen
to the analysis.php
:
php megSAP/src/Pipelines/analyze.php -folder Sample_NA12878_01 -name NA12878_01 -system hpHBOCv5.ini -steps ma,vc -use_dragen
A performance comparison between the megSAP pipeline using DRAGEN vs. bwa can be found here
Example data which can be analyzed using the command above can be downloaded from here.
After the analysis, these files are created in the output folder:
- mapped reads in BAM format
- a variant list in VCF format
- a variant list in GSvar format
- QC data in qcML format, which can be opened with a web browser
