gatherVCF

This function is used for gather VCF files into one file using gatk.

Note

This function is calling gatk GatherVcfs, please install GATK before using.

Parameters

gatherVCF(vcfInput=None, outputdir=None,
          upstream=None, stepNum=None,
          threads=1, verbose=False, **kwargs)

  • vcfInput: list, vcf Input files, you can give me as this: [[‘samp1-1.vcf’, ‘samp1-2.vcf’…],[]…].

  • outputdir: str, output result folder, None means the same folder as input files.

  • threads: int, how many thread to use.

  • stepNum: int or str, step flag for folder name.

  • upstream: upstream output results, used for pipeline. This parameter can be True, which means a new pipeline start.

  • verbose: bool, True means print all stdout, but will be slow; False means black stdout verbose, much faster.

Warning

We recommend using this function in SNV detection. For a detailed tutorial, please see SNV detection tutorial.

Example usage:

from cfDNApipe import *
import glob

pipeConfigure(
    threads=60,
    genome="hg19",
    refdir=r"path_to_reference/hg19",
    outdir=r"path_to_output/snv_output",
    data="WGS",
    type="paired",
    build=True,
    JavaMem="10G",
)

# just set build=True to finish all the works
Configure.snvRefCheck(folder="path_to_reference/hg19/hg19_snv", build=True)

# see all the SNV related files
Configure.getConfig("snv.folder")
Configure.getConfig("snv.ref")

# indexed bam files after remove duplicates
bams = glob.glob("path_to_samples/*.bam")

res1 = addRG(bamInput=bams, upstream=True)

res2 = BaseRecalibrator(
    upstream=res1, knownSitesDir=Configure.getConfig("snv.folder")
)
res3 = BQSR(upstream=res2)

res4 = getPileup(
    upstream=res3,
    biallelicvcfInput=Configure.getConfig('snv.ref')["7"],
)

res5 = contamination(upstream=res4)

# In this step, files are split to chromatin
res6 = mutect2t(
    caseupstream = res5,
    vcfInput=Configure.getConfig('snv.ref')["6"],
    ponbedInput=Configure.getConfig('snv.ref')["8"],
)

#
res7 = filterMutectCalls(upstream=res6)

# put all chromatin files together
res8 = gatherVCF(upstream=res7)

# split somatic mutations
res9 = bcftoolsVCF(upstream=res8, stepNum="somatic")

# split germline mutations
res10 = bcftoolsVCF(
    upstream=res8, other_params={"-f": "'germline'"}, suffix="germline", stepNum="germline"
)
