SLOPBED

Increase the size of each feature in a BED/BAM/VCF by a specified factor.

URL: https://bedtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/content/tools/slop.html

Example

This wrapper can be used in the following way:

rule bedtools_merge:
    input:
        "A.bed"
    output:
        "A.slop.bed"
    params:
        ## Genome file, tab-seperated file defining the length of every contig
        genome="genome.txt",
        ## Add optional parameters
        extra = "-b 10" ## in this example, we want to increase the feature by 10 bases to both sides
    log:
        "logs/slop/A.log"
    wrapper:
        "v5.3.0-16-g710597c/bio/bedtools/slop"

Note that input, output and log file paths can be chosen freely.

When running with

snakemake --use-conda

the software dependencies will be automatically deployed into an isolated environment before execution.

Notes

• Extra parameters requires either -b or (-l and -r)

• This program/wrapper does not handle multi-threading.

Software dependencies

• bedtools=2.31.1

Input/Output

Input:

• Path to an interval file (BED/GFF/VCF)

Output:

• Path to the expanded intervals file

Params

• genome: Path to a genome file

• extra: additional program arguments (except for -i or -g)
