- SBG FASTQ Merge
The following new apps were published, in CWL1.x:
- Exomiser 12.1.0 - tool for prioritizing variants from WES and WGS data.
- VEP Slivar Trios Rare Diseases Analysis workflow - analyzes WES and WGS family variants.
- Clustering and Gene Marker Identification with Seurat 3.2.2 - clustering and gene marker identification analysis starting from gene-cell UMI or read counts.
- xCell 1.3 - tool for cell type enrichment analysis, which takes gene expression data and performs analysis for 64 immune and stromal cell types.
- MBASED 1.18.0 tool - used for performing allele specific expression analysis.
- MBASED workflow - based on the MBASED tool, with added phasing and VEP annotation, the workflow allows for easier running of allele specific expression analysis.
- elPrep 4.1.6 - high-performance tool for preparing SAM/BAM files for variant calling in sequencing pipelines, which can be used as a replacement for SAMtools and Picard for preparation steps such as filtering, sorting, marking duplicates, calculating and applying base quality score recalibration, etc.
- Kraken2 2.0.9 - taxonomic sequence classifier that assigns taxonomic labels to DNA sequences.
- Bracken 2.5 - uses the taxonomic assignments made by Kraken/Kraken2, along with information about the genomes themselves, to estimate abundance at the species/genus level, or above.
- Metagenomics Profiling with Kraken2 - workflow used for metagenomic classification, abundance estimation and visualization.
- cuteSV 1.0.9 - structural variant discovery tool designed for long read sequences.
- Sniffles 1.0.12b - structural variation caller for PacBio or Oxford Nanopore data.
- NanoPlot 1.33.0 - plotting QC tool for long reads sequencing data.
- goleft IndexCov 0.2.4 - used to quickly (in minutes) assess the coverage distribution (16KB resolution) of a WGS cohort from BAI/CRAI files, or infer sex (by plotting the inferred copy number of sex chromosomes).
- vcfanno 0.3.2 - used to annotate variants with information from VCF, BED or BAM sources.
- vcf2db - converts an annotated VCF file into a Gemini-compatible database.
- Cas-OFFinder 2.4 - tool that searches for potential off-target sites of CRISPR/Cas-derived RNA-guided endonucleases.
- BitMapperBS 1.0.2.3 - toolkit for processing WGBS (whole-genome bisufite) reads from directional protocol.
- MethylDackel 0.5.1 - toolkit for processing BS-seq alignments and extracting per-base methylation metrics from them.
- WGBS Analysis BitMapperBS with MethylDackel workflow - developed for BS-seq reads processing and DNA methylation analyses.
- CRISPResso2 2.0.44 - used for analyzing genome editing experiments (public on academic platforms only).
- SAIGE 0.39 - single-variant association tests for binary traits and quantitative traits.
- PRSice-2 2.3.3 - tool for polygenic risk score (PRS) analyses.
- PheWAS R workflow - can be used to conduct PheWAS analyses.
- ONT WGS Data Processing workflow - basic workflow for processing Oxford Nanopore WGS data.
