How to run the Identify Variants (WGS) workflow

To run the Identify Variants (WGS) workflow, go to:

        Toolbox | Ready-to-Use Workflows | Whole Genome Sequencing (Image whole_genome_folder_closed_16_n_p) | Somatic Cancer (Image somatic_folder_closed_16_n_p) | Identify Variants (WGS) (Image identify_variants_wgs_16_n_p)

  1. Select the sequencing reads from the sample that should be analyzed (figure 15.26).

    Figure 15.26: Please select all sequencing reads from the sample to be analyzed.

    Select all sequencing reads from your sample. If several samples should be analyzed, the tool has to be run in batch mode. To do this, tick "Batch" at the bottom of the wizard and select the folder that holds the data you wish to analyze.

    If you have your sequencing data in separate folders, you should choose to run the analysis in batch mode.

    When you have selected the sample(s) that you want to prepare, click on the button labeled Next.

  2. In the next wizard step (figure 15.27) you can specify the parameters for variant detection.

    Figure 15.27: The next thing to do is to specify the parameters that should be used to detect variants.

  3. Click on the button labeled Next. This will take you to the next wizard step (figure 15.28).

    In this wizard you can check the selected settings by clicking on the button labeled Preview All Parameters.

    In the Preview All Parameters wizard you can only check the settings, and if you wish to make changes you have to use the Previous button from the wizard to edit parameters in the relevant windows. At the bottom of this wizard there are two buttons regarding export functions; one button allows specification of the export format, and the other button (the one labeled "Export Parameters") allows specification of the export destination. When selecting an export location, you will export the analysis parameter settings that were specified for this specific experiment.

  4. Click on the button labeled OK to go back to the previous wizard and choose Save.

    Note! If you choose to open the results, the results will not be saved automatically. You can always save the results at a later point.
