Thanks @arahuja, didn't see that.
What's the proper github etiquette, should I close this issue and copy my text over to that one?
Not sure there is any? Up to you I guess?
Closing duplicate, #41.
Here's the text from @timodonnell:
My understanding of https://github.com/hammerlab/biokepi/blob/77abf040aa85cfe247a21df15e98bf68fc192839/src/lib/biokepi_common_pipelines.ml#L41 is that we are running the indel realigner separately for tumor / normal. Wenyi Wang from MD Andersen says we'll get better results if we run it jointly (which I think means just giving the gatk multiple both BAMs by specifiying the -I option twice). We should support this in biokepi (and test if we in fact get different results).
When doing indel realignment on multiple samples from the same patient (e.g. normal + tumors), we almost certainly to perform indel realignment jointly on the samples (rather than independently).
This can be accomplished by providing all the BAM files as inputs to target creator and indel realigner, and then specifying
-nWayOut realigned.bam
