No that is correct, mostly based on some discussions we had with @nickhsmith that for most the final ones would be the most interesting . as well as the instructions for the single sample workflow by GATK here
We would have to see how we process with single sample filtering then. However, since that step seems to cause quite some issues for some, because of the time requirements it has, it might be good to also allow skipping it with a parameter. we could probably combine then both new parameters here.
Some work has now been done in this direction.
The new sentieon-haplotyper-flow is able to output vcf, gvcf or both:
Is there any update on this regarding GATK? There was some recent progress on a related issue, but that was also related to joint_germline
, and not the single sample workflow: https://github.com/nf-core/sarek/issues/764
No, when running GATK in single sample it is not using -ERC GVCF
, so no gvcf are produced as according to the gatk docs:https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360035535932-Germline-short-variant-discovery-SNPs-Indels- . You could still force it with a custom config, but not sure if we should at it in by default
Thanks for the update.
I agree it probably shouldn't be the default, but it would be nice if it could be created if using a flag (--generate_gvcf
etc.).
Would you mind providing details (or pointing me in the right direction/docs) on how to create a custom config to force the gvcf generation?
sure, this should work:
process {
withName: GATK4_HAPLOTYPECALLER {
ext.args = "-ERC GVCF"
ext.prefix = { meta.num_intervals <= 1 ? "${meta.id}.haplotypecaller.g" : "${meta.id}.haplotypecaller.${intervals.simpleName}.g" }
}
withName: 'MERGE_HAPLOTYPECALLER' {
ext.prefix = { "${meta.id}.haplotypecaller.g" }
}
}
should work. single sample is by default enabled (CNNScoreVariants/FilterVarianttranches), but you can skip it if you'd like
Hi Friederike,
Many thanks for your help here.
We managed to produce the gVCF successfully with your custom config.
However, even though the CNNScoreVariants finishes running (after 2 days), it does not seem to doesn't actually work, so the next step fails with a pretty telling error:

Any recommendations/hints here would be really appreciated.
(I have had a look at the documentation/google for CNNScoreVariants and there doesn't seem to be an option for gVcf (or any hints on how to run with gvcf).
(or should we simply skip the CNNScoreVariants / FilterVarianttranches steps)?
I guess CNNScoreVariants doesn't like gvcf. Yes you can skip by setting --skip_tools haplotypecaller_filter
. You could ask on GATk forum if there is such an optionm would be happy to add it
.
Description of feature
It might be useful to add a CLI-option for outputting gvcf-files instead of vcf-files. It seems that with the current version that is only possible when running
--joint_germline
. (However, I could be wrong).
