Port applications to Dutch Life Science Grid

People

• AMC: Antoine van Kampen, Barbera van Schaik, Silvia D Olabarriaga, Mark Santcroos
• Sara/BiGGrid: Tom Visser, more?

Description Software is going to be implemented as workflow components. The workflows will run on the Dutch life science grid.

• Getting started: ​http://www.bioinformaticslaboratory.nl/twiki/bin/view/EBioScience/GettingStarted

Implemented workflow components at AMC

This list of workflow components are already available. We can expand it with Pindel and (parts of) the GATK pipeline.

• Splitting of fastq files
• Building a BWA index on the genome sequence (base space and color space)
• BWA for shotgun reads (base space and color space) It is possible to do parameter sweeps. Output is in bam format
• Merge bam results
• Samtools pileup
• Varscan (pileup to snp, indel and cns)
• Bam2coverage creates a UCSC wiggle file to display the genome coverage (per 50kbp)
• Coverage-per-base determines the coverage for every base in the genome and it summarizes the results (coverage versus frequency)
• Annovar (currently working on the implementation). This is a pipeline to annotate variants (gene, dbsnp, hapmap, 1000g, conservation, etc)

To be implemented

• BWA for paired end reads
• The components of the Groningen pipeline that not implemented as a workflow component yet
• Pindel

Things to address

• Data access rights
• Available disk space on the grid storage elements / worker nodes
