VARSCAN MPILEUP2INDEL

Detect indel in NGS data from mpileup files with VarScan

Example

This wrapper can be used in the following way:

rule mpileup_to_vcf:
    input:
        "mpileup/{sample}.mpileup.gz"
    output:
        "vcf/{sample}.vcf"
    message:
        "Calling Indel with Varscan2"
    threads:  # Varscan does not take any threading information
        1     # However, mpileup might have to be unzipped.
              # Keep threading value to one for unzipped mpileup input
              # Set it to two for zipped mipileup files
    # 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
    log:
        "logs/varscan_{sample}.log"
    wrapper:
        "v3.0.1/bio/varscan/mpileup2indel"

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

Varscan does not take any threading information by itself. However, mpileup files given as input, might be gzipped.

If so, it’s recommended to use two threads:

• 1 for varscan itself

• 1 for zcat

Software dependencies

• varscan=2.4.6

• snakemake-wrapper-utils=0.6.2

Input/Output

Input:

• A mpileup file

Output:

• A VCF file
