PICARD MERGEVCFS

Merge vcf files using picard tools.

URL:

Example

This wrapper can be used in the following way:

rule merge_vcfs:
    input:
        vcfs=["snvs.chr1.vcf", "snvs.chr2.vcf"],
    output:
        "snvs.vcf",
    log:
        "logs/picard/mergevcfs.log",
    params:
        extra="",
    # optional specification of memory usage of the JVM that snakemake will respect with global
    # resource restrictions (https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/latest/snakefiles/rules.html#resources)
    # and which can be used to request RAM during cluster job submission as `{resources.mem_mb}`:
    # https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/latest/executing/cluster.html#job-properties
    resources:
        mem_mb=1024,
    wrapper:
        "v1.1.0/bio/picard/mergevcfs"

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.

Software dependencies

  • picard=2.26
  • snakemake-wrapper-utils==0.1.3

Input/Output

Input:

  • vcf files

Output:

  • merged vcf file

Notes

  • The java_opts param allows for additional arguments to be passed to the java compiler, e.g. “-XX:ParallelGCThreads=10” (not for -XmX or -Djava.io.tmpdir, since they are handled automatically).
  • The extra param allows for additional program arguments.
  • –TMP_DIR is automatically set by resources.tmpdir
  • For more information see, https://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/command-line-overview.html#MergeVcfs
