Automated, distributed next-gen sequencing pipeline; includes Galaxy interaction
Project description
## bcbio-nextgen
A python toolkit providing fully automated high throughput sequencing analysis. You write a high level configuration file specifying your inputs and analysis parameters. This input drives a parallelized pipeline handling distributed execution, idempotent processing restarts and safe transactional steps. The goal is to provide a shared community resource that handles the data processing part of sequencing analysis, allowing us to focus on the downstream biology.
## Quick start
Install bcbio-nextgen and Python dependencies:
pip install –upgrade bcbio-nextgen
Edit a [system configuration file][q2] and [sample configuration file][q1]
Run analysis, distributed across 8 local cores:
bcbio_nextgen.py post_process.yaml run_info.yaml -n 8

## Documentation
Full documentation is available from ReadTheDocs.
## Pipelines
### Variant calling
The pipeline implements the [GATK best practice][v1] guidelines for variant calling, which includes:
Alignment
Base Quality Recalibration
Realignment around indels
- Variant calling. The pipeline supports:
[GATK Unified Genotyper][v2] (part of GATK-lite in GATK 2.x)
[GATK Haplotype caller][v3] (part of the full, non-open source GATK 2.x)
[FreeBayes][v4]
[samtools mpileup][v5]
[cortex_var][v6]
Quality filtering, using both [GATK’s Variant Quality Score Recalibrator][v7] and hard filtering.
Annotation of effects, using [snpEff][v8]

## Features
### Distributed
The pipeline runs on single multicore machines, in compute clusters managed by LSF or SGE, or on the Amazon cloud. [This tutorial][o5] describes running the pipeline on Amazon with [CloudBioLinux][o6] and [CloudMan][o7].
### Galaxy integration
The scripts can be tightly integrated with the [Galaxy][o1] web-based analysis tool. Tracking of samples occurs via a web based LIMS system, and processed results are uploading into Galaxy Data Libraries for researcher access and additional analysis. See the [installation instructions for the front end][o2] and a [detailed description of the full system][o3].
