Introduction
nf-core/pacvar is a bioinformatics pipeline that processes long-read PacBio data. Specifically, the pipeline provides two workflows: one for processing whole-genome sequencing data, and another for processing reads from the PureTarget expansion panel offered by PacBio. This second workflow characterizes tandem repeats. Because the pipeline is designed for PacBio reads, it uses PacBio’s officially released tools.

Workflow Overview
WGS Workflow Overview
- Choice of SNP calling routes:
a. (
deepvariant) b. (HaplotypeCaller) - Call SVs (
pbsv) - Index VCF files (
bcftools) - Phase SNPs, SVs and BAM files (
hiphase)
Tandem Repeat Workflow Overview
- Genotype tandem repeats - produce spanning bams and vcf (
TRGT) - Index and Sort tandem tepeat spanning bam (
SAMtools) - Plot repeat motif plots (
TRGT) - Sort spanning VCF (
bcftools)
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,bam,pbi
CONTROL,AEG588A1_S1_L002_R1_001.bam,AEG588A1_S1_L002_R1_001.pbi
Note that the .pbi file is not required. If you choose not to include it, your input file might look like this:
csv
sample,bam,pbi
CONTROL,AEG588A1_S1_L002_R1_001.bam
Each row represents an unaligned bam file and their associated index (optional).
Now, you can run the pipeline. Below is an example
bash
nextflow run nf-core/pacvar \
-profile <docker/singularity/.../institute> \
--input samplesheet.csv \
--workflow <wgs/repeat> \
--barcodes barcodes.bed \
--intervals intervals.bed \
--genome <GENOME NAME (e.g. GATK.GRCh38)> \
--outdir <OUTDIR>
optional paramaters include: --skip_demultiplexing, --skip_snp, --skip_sv, --skip_phase.
[!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.
