Introduction
birneylab/stitchimpute is a bioinformatics pipeline that uses STITCH for imputing genotypes from low-coverage NGS data in a population. It can also help in the selection of the ideal parameters for the imputation, and in the refinement of the SNP set used. It can compare the imputation results against some ground truth (i.e. high-coverage samples) for performance evaluation and parameter/SNP set refinement.
Disclaimer: this pipeline uses the nf-core template but it is not part of nf-core itself.

- Downsample high-coverage cram files (
samtools; optional) - Run joint imputation with STITCH on high and low coverage cram files (
STITCH) - Compare imputation results to ground truth variants (
glimpse2 concordance; optional) - Plot imputation performance stats (
ggplot2)
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,cram,crai
sample1,/path/to/sample1.cram,/path/to/sample1.cram.crai
sample2,/path/to/sample2.cram,/path/to/sample2.cram.crai
Each row represents a sample with its associated cram file and crai file.
Now, you can run the pipeline using:
bash
nextflow run birneylab/stitchimpute \
-profile <docker/singularity/.../institute> \
--input samplesheet.csv \
--outdir <OUTDIR>
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.For more details and further functionality, please refer to the usage documentation and the parameter documentation.
