somaticsniper - NVIDIA Docs

Accelerated Somatic Sniper, which supports tumor-normal variant calling. Parabricks features Somatic Sniper as a standalone tool, or you can use the Somatic Sniper workflow to generate a VCF file from BAM/CRAM.

somaticsniper Reference

Identify single nucleotide positions that are different between tumor and normal BAM files.

Input/Output file options

--ref REF

Path to the reference file. (default: None)

Option is required.

--in-tumor-bam IN_TUMOR_BAM

Path of BAM/CRAM file for tumor reads. (default: None)

Option is required.

--in-normal-bam IN_NORMAL_BAM

Path of BAM/CRAM file for normal reads. (default: None)

Option is required.

--out-file OUT_FILE

Path of output file. (default: None)

Option is required.

Options specific to this tool

--num-threads NUM_THREADS

Number of threads for worker. (default: 1)

--min-mapq MIN_MAPQ

Filtering reads with mapping quality less than this value. (default: 0)

--out-format OUT_FORMAT

Type of output format. Possible values are {classic, vcf}. (default: classic)

--correct

Fix baseline bugs. If this option is not passed, the same output will be generated as baseline. (default: None)

--no-gain

Do not report Gain of Reference variants as determined by genotypes. (default: None)

--no-loh

Do not report LOH variants as determined by genotypes.

(default: None)

Common options:

--logfile LOGFILE: Path to the log file. If not specified, messages will only be written to the standard error output. (default: None)
--tmp-dir TMP_DIR: Full path to the directory where temporary files will be stored.
--with-petagene-dir WITH_PETAGENE_DIR: Full path to the PetaGene installation directory. By default, this should have been installed at /opt/petagene. Use of this option also requires that the PetaLink library has been preloaded by setting the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. Optionally set the PETASUITE_REFPATH and PGCLOUD_CREDPATH environment variables that are used for data and credentials (default: None)
--keep-tmp: Do not delete the directory storing temporary files after completion.
--license-file LICENSE_FILE: Path to license file license.bin if not in the installation directory.
--no-seccomp-override: Do not override seccomp options for docker (default: None).
--version: View compatible software versions.
