Introduction

Sarek is a workflow designed to detect variants on whole genome or targeted sequencing data. Initially designed for Human, and Mouse, it can work on any species with a reference genome. Sarek can also handle tumour / normal pairs and could include additional relapses.

The pipeline is built using Nextflow, a workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It comes with Docker containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible.

It's listed on Elixir - Tools and Data Services Registry and Dockstore.

Quick Start

  1. Install Nextflow (>=20.04.0)

  2. Install any of Docker, Singularity, Podman, Shifter or Charliecloud for full pipeline reproducibility (please only use Conda as a last resort; see docs)

  3. Download the pipeline and test it on a minimal dataset with a single command:

    nextflow run nf-core/sarek -profile test,<docker/singularity/podman/shifter/charliecloud/conda/institute>

    Please check nf-core/configs to see if a custom config file to run nf-core pipelines already exists for your Institute. If so, you can simply use -profile <institute> in your command. This will enable either Docker or Singularity and set the appropriate execution settings for your local compute environment.

  4. Start running your own analysis!

    nextflow run nf-core/sarek -profile <docker/singularity/podman/shifter/charliecloud/conda/institute> --input '*.tsv' --genome GRCh38

See usage docs for all of the available options when running the pipeline.

Pipeline Summary

By default, the pipeline currently performs the following:

  • Sequencing quality control (FastQC)
  • Map Reads to Reference (BWA mem)
  • Mark Duplicates (GATK MarkDuplicatesSpark)
  • Base (Quality Score) Recalibration (GATK BaseRecalibrator, GATK ApplyBQSR)
  • Preprocessing quality control (samtools stats)
  • Preprocessing quality control (Qualimap bamqc)
  • Overall pipeline run summaries (MultiQC)

Documentation

The nf-core/sarek pipeline comes with documentation about the pipeline: usage and output.

Credits

Sarek was developed at the National Genomics Infastructure and National Bioinformatics Infastructure Sweden which are both platforms at SciLifeLab, with the support of The Swedish Childhood Tumor Biobank (Barntumörbanken). QBiC later joined and helped with further development.
