Variant Calling Workshop

Overview

• There will be two parts to the workshop:• Variant calling analysis (on the cluster)• Visualization (on the desktop) using IGV

• Command prompts (what you will type) will be in boxes preceded by ‘$’. Output will be in red:$ mkdir foo$ cd foo$ ls -latotal 96drwxrwxr-x 2 cjfields cjfields 32768 Jun 23 22:51 .drwxr-x--- 39 cjfields cjfields 32768 Jun 23 22:51 ..

Prelude : Variant Calling Setup

1. Log into the cluster using your classroom account.

2. Create a work folder (I call mine ‘mayo_test’):

$ mkdir mayo_test$ cd mayo_test$ lltotal 0

Part Ia : Variant Calling Setup

3. Link in all scripts from the main work folder to this directory:

$ ln -s /home/mirrors/gatk_bundle/mayo_workshop/*.sh .$ lsannotate_snpeff.sh call_variants_ug.sh hard_filtering.sh post_annotate.sh

• Data for this workshop is from the 1000 Genomes project and is WGS, 60x coverage

• The initial part of the GATK pipeline (alignment, local realignment, base quality score recalibration) has been done, and the BAM file has been reduced for a portion of human chromosome 20• Otherwise, we would not even finish the alignment within the

next few days, let alone the other steps

Part Ia : Variant Calling Setup

Part Ia : Variant Calling

• Start the variant calling job. Check the status of the job using ‘qstat’:

$ qsub call_variants_ug.sh371875.biocluster.igb.illinois.edu

$ qstat -u <YOUR USER NAME>

biocluster.igb.illinois.edu: Req'd Req'd ElapJob ID Username Queue Jobname SessID NDS TSK Memory Time S Time-------------------- ----------- -------- ---------------- ------ ----- ------ ------ ----- - -----371875.biocluste cjfields default call_variants_ug 24285 1 4 10gb -- R 00:01

Part Ia : Variant Calling

• Discussion: what did we just do?

• We ran the GATK UnifiedGenotyper to call variants

• Show the script…

Part Ia : Variant Calling

• Job done yet? Should only be a few minutes…

• What do the data look like? (anyone here use UNIX?)

$ qstat -u <YOUR USER NAME>

Part Ia : Variant Calling

• How many SNPs and Indels were called?

• Any found in dbSNP?

$ grep -c -v '^#' raw_snps.vcf13621

$ grep -c -v '^#' raw_indels.vcf1070

$ grep -c 'rs[0-9]*' raw_snps.vcf12245

$ grep -c 'rs[0-9]*' raw_indels.vcf1019

Part Ib : Hard filtering

• We need to filter the variant calls

• Generally, for human data we would use variant quality score recalibration, but we have a very small set of variants, so here we use hard filtering

Part Ib : Hard filtering

• Start the hard filtering step. This will be fast:

• You will have two new VCF files in a minute: • hard_filtered_snps.vcf• hard_filtered_indels.vcf

$ qsub hard_filtering.sh371886.biocluster.igb.illinois.edu

$ qstat -u <YOUR USER NAME>

Part Ib : Hard filtering

• What are we doing?

• <Show the code!>

• Questions: • Did we lose any variants?• How many PASS’ed the filter?• What is the difference in the filtered and raw output?

Part Ib : Hard filtering

• What are we doing?

• <Show the code!>

• Questions: • Did we lose any variants?• How many PASS’ed the filter?• What is the difference in the filtered and raw output?

$ grep -c 'PASS' hard_filtered_snps.vcf8270

$ grep -c 'PASS' hard_filtered_indels.vcf1041

Part Ic : Annotate the variants (SnpEff)

• Run the next job, which uses SnpEff to add annotation to the VCF:

• This takes a couple of minutes…

• Two new VCF: • hard_filtered_snps_annotated.vcf• hard_filtered_indels_annotated.vcf

$ qsub annotate_snpeff.sh371894.biocluster.igb.illinois.edu

$ qstat -u <YOUR USER NAME>

Part Ic : Annotate the variants (SnpEff)

• SnpEff adds information about where the variants are in relation to specific genes

• The IDs for the human assembly version we use are from Ensembl (ENSGXXXXXXXXXXX)

• The Ensembl ID for FOXA2 is ENSG00000125798

Part Ic : Annotate the variants (SnpEff)

• The Ensembl ID for FOXA2 is ENSG00000125798

• Are there any variants called for FOXA2?

Part Ic : Annotate the variants (SnpEff)

• The Ensembl ID for FOXA2 is ENSG00000125798

• Are there any variants called for FOXA2?

• SnpEff also creates some additional output files; we’ll see those in a bit

$ grep -c 'ENSG00000125798' hard_filtered_snps_annotated.vcf3

$ grep -c 'ENSG00000125798' hard_filtered_indels_annotated.vcf0

Part Id : GATK VariantAnnotator

• SnpEff adds a lot of information to the VCF.

• GATK VariantAnnotator helps remove a lot of the extraneous information

Part Id : GATK VariantAnnotator

• The last step:

• This may take about 5-10 minutes

$ qsub post_annotate.sh371905.biocluster.igb.illinois.edu

$ qstat -u <YOUR USER NAME>

While this is going on…

• Let’s start a little tutorial on the Integrated Genome Viewer (also from Broad)

Prelude to Part II

• We need to download the results from your user folders to the local desktop

• We’ll use FileZilla for this

Part II : Viewing Results in IGV

• Open IGV• Switch the genome to ‘Human (b37)’
