Summarize10xAlignments

Iterate a 10x BAM and summarize alignments per gene

Category Specialized/Internal Tools

Overview

Iterate a 10x BAM and summarize alignments per gene, including instances where reads map to multiple genes are are filtered. The original purpose is to provide QC over 10x feature counting, such as identifying genes in a GTF that will be systematically under-counted.

Usage example:

  java -jar DISCVRseq.jar Summarize10xAlignments \
     -I possorted_bam.bam \
     -O output.txt

Additional Information

Genome/Reference Files

Please note that if this tools uses a reference genome, that FASTA must be indexed with samtools and to have a sequence dictionary created with Picard. See here for more information

Read filters

This Read Filter is automatically applied to the data by the Engine before processing by Summarize10xAlignments.

Disable all tool default read filters (WARNING: many tools will not function correctly without their default read filters on)

boolean false

--exclude-intervals / -XL

One or more genomic intervals to exclude from processing
Use this argument to exclude certain parts of the genome from the analysis (like -L, but the opposite). This argument can be specified multiple times. You can use samtools-style intervals either explicitly on the command line (e.g. -XL 1 or -XL 1:100-200) or by loading in a file containing a list of intervals (e.g. -XL myFile.intervals). strings gathered from the command line -XL argument to be parsed into intervals to exclude

List[String] []

--gatk-config-file / NA

A configuration file to use with the GATK.

String null

If the GCS bucket channel errors out, how many times it will attempt to re-initiate the connection

int 20 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]

--gcs-project-for-requester-pays / NA

Project to bill when accessing "requester pays" buckets. If unset, these buckets cannot be accessed. User must have storage.buckets.get permission on the bucket being accessed.

String ""

--help / -h

display the help message

boolean false

--input / -I

BAM/SAM/CRAM file containing reads

R List[GATKPath] []

--interval-exclusion-padding / -ixp

Amount of padding (in bp) to add to each interval you are excluding.
Use this to add padding to the intervals specified using -XL. For example, '-XL 1:100' with a padding value of 20 would turn into '-XL 1:80-120'. This is typically used to add padding around targets when analyzing exomes.

int 0 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]

--interval-merging-rule / -imr

Interval merging rule for abutting intervals
By default, the program merges abutting intervals (i.e. intervals that are directly side-by-side but do not actually overlap) into a single continuous interval. However you can change this behavior if you want them to be treated as separate intervals instead.

The --interval-merging-rule argument is an enumerated type (IntervalMergingRule), which can have one of the following values:

ALL
OVERLAPPING_ONLY

IntervalMergingRule ALL

--interval-padding / -ip

Amount of padding (in bp) to add to each interval you are including.
Use this to add padding to the intervals specified using -L. For example, '-L 1:100' with a padding value of 20 would turn into '-L 1:80-120'. This is typically used to add padding around targets when analyzing exomes.

int 0 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]

--interval-set-rule / -isr

Set merging approach to use for combining interval inputs
By default, the program will take the UNION of all intervals specified using -L and/or -XL. However, you can change this setting for -L, for example if you want to take the INTERSECTION of the sets instead. E.g. to perform the analysis only on chromosome 1 exomes, you could specify -L exomes.intervals -L 1 --interval-set-rule INTERSECTION. However, it is not possible to modify the merging approach for intervals passed using -XL (they will always be merged using UNION). Note that if you specify both -L and -XL, the -XL interval set will be subtracted from the -L interval set.

The --interval-set-rule argument is an enumerated type (IntervalSetRule), which can have one of the following values:

UNION
INTERSECTION

IntervalSetRule UNION

--intervals / -L

One or more genomic intervals over which to operate

List[String] []

--lenient / -LE

Lenient processing of VCF files

boolean false

--max-variants-per-shard / NA

If non-zero, partitions VCF output into shards, each containing up to the given number of records.

int 0 [ [ 0 ∞ ] ]

--output / -O

File to which the output table should be written

R String null

--QUIET / NA

Whether to suppress job-summary info on System.err.

Boolean false

--read-filter / -RF

Read filters to be applied before analysis

List[String] []

--read-index / -read-index

Indices to use for the read inputs. If specified, an index must be provided for every read input and in the same order as the read inputs. If this argument is not specified, the path to the index for each input will be inferred automatically.

List[GATKPath] []

--read-validation-stringency / -VS

Validation stringency for all SAM/BAM/CRAM/SRA files read by this program. The default stringency value SILENT can improve performance when processing a BAM file in which variable-length data (read, qualities, tags) do not otherwise need to be decoded.

The --read-validation-stringency argument is an enumerated type (ValidationStringency), which can have one of the following values:
