Introduction
nf-cmgg/exomecnv is a bioinformatics pipeline that can be used to call copy number variations (CNVs) from exome sequencing data with ExomeDepth and annotate these with EnsemblVEP. It takes a samplesheet with CRAM or BAM files and their index files as input, generates read count data, calls CNVs and ends with an annotation. It is also possible to take a samplesheet with VCF files and their index files as input and only execute the annotation.
Pipeline Summary
- Input samplesheet check
- Convert CRAM to BAM if CRAM files are provided (optional)
- ExomeDepth counting per sample (autosomal and chrX are separated)
- Merge count files per batch (autosomal and chrX remain separated)
- ExomeDepth CNV calling per sample (autosomal and chrX remain separated)
- Merge CNV calling files per sample (autosomal and chrX are merged)
- Convert merged files to VCF
- Generate index files for these VCF files
- Annotate VCF files with EnsemblVEP

Usage
[!NOTE] If you are new to Nextflow and nf-core, please refer to this page on how to set-up Nextflow. Make sure to test your setup with
-profile testbefore running the workflow on actual data.
First, prepare a samplesheet with your input data that looks as follows:
samplesheet.csv:
csv
sample,batch,family,cram,crai,vcf,tbi
sample1,prep_M,Fam1,/path/to/sample1.cram,/path/to/sample1.crai
sample2,prep_F,Fam2,/path/to/sample2.cram,/path/to/sample2.crai,/path/to/sample2.vcf,/path/to/sample2.vcf.tbi
Each row represents a sample with the associated batch and family, followed by the optional paths to the CRAM/CRAI and/or VCF/TBI files, depending on which tasks should be executed.
Now, you can run the pipeline using:
bash
nextflow run nf-cmgg/exomecnv \
-profile <docker/conda> \
--input /path/to/samplesheet.csv \
--outdir /path/to/outdir \
--vep_cache /path/to/vep_cache \
--exomedepth \
--annotate
to execute the ExomeDepth workflow, followed by an EnsemblVEP annotation on CRAM/CRAI (or BAM/BAI) files provided in the samplesheet. The --annotate parameter is optional. If not provided, only the ExomeDepth workflow will be executed. It is also possible to run the pipeline using:
bash
nextflow run nf-cmgg/exomecnv \
-profile <docker/conda> \
--input /path/to/samplesheet.csv \
--outdir /path/to/outdir \
--vep_cache /path/to/vep_cache
to skip the ExomeDepth workflow and only execute the EnsemblVEP annotation on VCF/TBI files provided in the samplesheet.
[!WARNING] Please provide pipeline parameters via the CLI or Nextflow
-params-fileoption. Custom config files including those provided by the-cNextflow option can be used to provide any configuration except for parameters; see docs.
