How to run LOGAN

Guide

Input Files

LOGAN supports inputs of either 1) paired end fastq files

--fastq_input- A glob can be used to include all FASTQ files. Like --fastq_input "*R{1,2}.fastq.gz". Globbing requires quotes.

2) Pre aligned BAM files with BAI indices

--bam_input- A glob can be used to include all FASTQ files. Like --bam_input "*.bam". Globbing requires quotes.

3) A sheet that indicates the sample name and either FASTQs or BAM file locations

--fastq_file_input- A headerless tab delimited sheet that has the sample name, R1, and R2 file locations

Example

c130863309_TUMOR   /data/nousomedr/c130863309_TUMOR.R1_001.fastq.gz  /data/nousomedr/c130863309_TUMOR.R2_001.fastq.gz
c130889189_PBMC  /data/nousomedr/c130889189_PBMC.R1_001.fastq.gz  /data/nousomedr/c130889189_PBMC.R2_001.fastq.gz

--bam_file_input - A headerless Tab delimited sheet that has the sample name, bam, and bam index (bai) file locations

Example

c130863309_TUMOR   /data/nousomedr/c130863309_TUMOR.bam  /data/nousomedr/c130863309_TUMOR.bam.bai
c130889189_PBMC  /data/nousomedr/c130889189_PBMC.bam  /data/nousomedr/c130889189_PBMC.bam.bai

Genome

--genome - A flag to indicate which genome to run. hg38, hg19 and mm10 are supported.
Example: --genome hg38 to run the hg38 genome

--genome hg19 and --genome mm10 are also supported

hg38 has options for either

--genome hg38 - Based off the GRCh38.d1.vd1.fa which is consistent with TCGA/GDC processing pipelines

--genome hg38_sf - Based off the Homo_sapiens_assembly38.fasta which is derived from the Broad Institute/NCI Sequencing Facility The biggest difference between the two is that GRCh38.d1.vd1.fa includes the GCA_000001405.15_GRCh38_no_alt_analysis_set, Sequence Decoys (GenBank Accession GCA_000786075), and Virus Sequences. Homo_sapiens_assembly38.fasta has HLA specific contigs which may not be compatible with certain downstream tools.

Operating Modes

1. Paired Tumor/Normal Mode

Required for Paired Tumor/Normal Mode

--sample_sheet In Paired mode a sample sheet must be provided with the basename of the Tumor and Normal samples. This sheet must be Tab separated with a header for Tumor and Normal.

Example

Tumor  Normal
c130863309_TUMOR  c130863309_PBMC
c130889189_TUMOR  c130889189_PBMC

2. Tumor only mode

No addtional flags for sample sheet are required as all samples will be used to call variants

Calling Mode

Adding flags determines SNV (germline and/or somatic), SV, and/or CNV calling modes

--vc or --snv - Enables somatic SNV calling using mutect2, vardict, varscan, octopus, deepsomatic, strelka (TN only), MUSE (TN only), and lofreq (TN only)

--gl or --germline - Enables germline calling using Deepvariant

--sv or --structural- Enables somatic SV calling using Manta, GRIDSS, and SVABA

--cnv or --copynumber- Enables somatic CNV calling using FREEC, Sequenza, ASCAT, CNVKit, and Purple (hg19/hg38 only)

Optional Arguments

--callers - Comma separated argument for selecting only specified callers, the default is to use all. Example: --callers mutect2,octopus

--cnvcallers - Comma separated argument for selecting only specified CNV callers, the default is to use all. Example: --cnvcallers purple

--svcallers - Comma separated argument for selecting only specified SV callers, the default is to use all. Example: --svcallers gridss

--ffpe - Adds additional filtering for FFPE by detecting strand orientation bias using SOBDetector.

--exome - When using exome data, this flag limits calling to intervals provided in target bed to reduce time and to account for exome sequencing specific parameters. An intervals file is required.

--indelrealign - Enables indel realignment using the GATK pipeline when running alignment steps. May be helpful for certain callers (VarScan, VarDict) that do not have local haplotype reassembly.

Running LOGAN

Example of Tumor_Normal calling mode

# preview the logan jobs that will run 
nextflow run LOGAN/main.nf --mode local -profile ci_stub --genome hg38 --sample_sheet samplesheet.tsv --outdir out --fastq_input "*R{1,2}.fastq.gz" -preview --vc --sv --cnv
# run a stub/dryrun of the logan jobs 
nextflow run LOGAN/main.nf --mode local -profile ci_stub --genome hg38 --sample_sheet samplesheet.tsv --outdir out --fastq_input "*R{1,2}.fastq.gz" -stub --vc --sv --cnv
# launch a logan run on slurm with the test dataset
nextflow run LOGAN/main.nf --mode slurm -profile biowulf,slurm --genome hg38 --sample_sheet samplesheet.tsv --outdir out --fastq_input "*R{1,2}.fastq.gz" --vc --sv --cnv 

Example of Tumor only calling mode

# preview the logan jobs that will run 
nextflow run LOGAN/main.nf --mode local -profile ci_stub --genome hg38 --outdir out --fastq_input "*R{1,2}.fastq.gz" --callers octopus,mutect2 -preview --vc --sv --cnv

# run a stub/dryrun of the logan jobs 

nextflow run LOGAN/main.nf --mode local -profile ci_stub --genome hg38 --outdir out --fastq_input "*R{1,2}.fastq.gz" --callers octopus,mutect2 -stub --vc --sv --cnv

# launch a logan run on slurm with the test dataset
nextflow run LOGAN/main.nf --mode slurm -profile biowulf,slurm --genome hg38 --outdir out --fastq_input "*R{1,2}.fastq.gz" --callers octopus,mutect2 --vc --sv --cnv
