gene-fusions-nf

A nextflow pipeline to call somatic rna fusions from RNA-seq data using arriba

Dependencies

  1. Nextflow : for common installation procedures see the IARC-nf repository.
  2. arriba

A conda receipe, and docker and singularity containers are available with all the tools needed to run the pipeline (see "Usage")

Input

TypeDescription
readsPath to input data
bamsPath to folder containing BAM files for processing

Parameters

NameExample valueDescription
ref_faref.faPath to fasta reference
ref_gtfannot.gtfPath to GTF annotation
star_indexindex/Path to STAR-Index reference
NameDefault valueDescription
reads_csvNULLfile with tabular data for each sample to process
svsNULLfile with tabular data for each sample with structural variants in bedpe format

Flags are special parameters without value.

NameDescription
--arriba_plotby default plot all the gene fusions detected by arriba. set to false to deactivate
--helpDisplay help

Usage

nextflow run  iarc/nf-gene-fusions -r v1.1 -profile singularity --reads 'test_dataset/reads/*.R{1,2}.fastq.gz' --ref_fa test_dataset/genome.fa --ref_gtf test_dataset/genome.gtf
  or
nextflow run  iarc/nf-gene-fusions -r v1.1 -profile singularity --bams '/path/to/bams/' --ref_fa test_dataset/genome.fa --ref_gtf test_dataset/genome.gtf

To run the pipeline without singularity just remove "-profile singularity". Alternatively, one can run the pipeline using a docker container (-profile docker) the conda receipe containing all required dependencies (-profile conda).

Output

TypeDescription
outdirFolder with fusion genes file
