Annotate variants based on a variant database.

This tool annotates the variant calls within a VCF file using the dbSNP database. The dbSNP database is a public archive of genetic variant information, consisting of known variants and data on whether each of these are considered to be neutral polymorphisms, polymorphisms with associated phenotypes, or regions of no variation.

Refer to the dbsnp Reference section for a detailed listing of all available options.

Quick Start

1# This command assumes all the inputs are in the current working directory and all the outputs go to the same place.
2docker run --rm --gpus all --volume $(pwd):/workdir --volume $(pwd):/outputdir \
3 --workdir /workdir \
4 nvcr.io/nvidia/clara/clara-parabricks:4.7.1-1 \
5 pbrun dbsnp \
6 --in-vcf /workdir/${INPUT_VCF} \
7 --out-vcf /outputdir/${OUTPUT_VCF} \
8 --in-dbsnp-file /workdir/${DBSNP_DATABASE}

Options

TypeNameRequired?Description
I/O--in-vcf IN_VCFYesPath to the input VCF file.
I/O--in-dbsnp-file IN_DBSNP_FILEYesPath to the input DBSNP file in vcf.gz format, with its tabix index.
I/O--out-vcf OUT_VCFYesOutput annotated VCF file.
Runtime--verboseNoEnable verbose output.
Runtime--x3NoShow full command line arguments.
Runtime--logfile LOGFILENoPath to the log file. If not specified, messages will only be written to the standard error output.
Runtime--tmp-dir TMP_DIRNoFull path to the directory where temporary files will be stored. (default: .)
Runtime--with-petagene-dir WITH_PETAGENE_DIRNoFull 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. Optionally set the PetaLinkMode environment variable that is used to further configure PetaLink, notably setting it to "+write" to enable outputting compressed BAM and .fastq files.
Runtime--keep-tmpNoDo not delete the directory storing temporary files after completion.
Runtime--no-seccomp-overrideNoDo not override seccomp options for docker.
Runtime--versionNoView compatible software versions.
Runtime--preserve-file-symlinksNoOverride default behavior to keep file symlinks intact and *not* resolve the symlink.
