## Introduction

**nf-core/rnavar** is a bioinformatics pipeline for RNA variant calling analysis following GATK4 best practices.

## Pipeline summary

1. Merge re-sequenced FastQ files ([`cat`](http://www.linfo.org/cat.html))
2. Read QC ([`FastQC`](https://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/))
3. (Optionally) Extract UMIs from FASTQ reads ([`UMI-tools`](https://github.com/CGATOxford/UMI-tools))
4. (Optionally) HLATyping from FASTQ reads ([`Seq2HLA`](https://github.com/TRON-Bioinformatics/seq2HLA))
5. Align reads to reference genome ([`STAR`](https://github.com/alexdobin/STAR))
6. Sort and index alignments ([`SAMtools`](https://sourceforge.net/projects/samtools/files/samtools/))
7. Duplicate read marking ([`Picard MarkDuplicates`](https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360037052812-MarkDuplicates-Picard))
8. Scatter one interval-list into many interval-files ([`GATK4 IntervalListTools`](https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/4409917392155-IntervalListTools-Picard-))
9. Splits reads that contain Ns in their cigar string ([`GATK4 SplitNCigarReads`](https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/4409917482651-SplitNCigarReads))
10. Estimate and correct systematic bias using base quality score recalibration ([`GATK4 BaseRecalibrator`](https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/4409897206043-BaseRecalibrator), [`GATK4 ApplyBQSR`](https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/4409897168667-ApplyBQSR))
11. Convert a BED file to a Picard Interval List ([`GATK4 BedToIntervalList`](https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/4409924780827-BedToIntervalList-Picard-))
12. Call SNPs and indels ([`GATK4 HaplotypeCaller`](https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/4409897180827-HaplotypeCaller))
13. Merge multiple VCF files into one VCF ([`GATK4 MergeVCFs`](https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/4409924817691-MergeVcfs-Picard-))
14. Index the VCF ([`Tabix`](http://www.htslib.org/doc/tabix.html))
15. Filter variant calls based on certain criteria ([`GATK4 VariantFiltration`](https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/4409897204763-VariantFiltration))
16. Annotate variants ([`BCFtools Annotate`](https://samtools.github.io/bcftools/bcftools.html), [`snpEff`](https://pcingola.github.io/SnpEff/se_introduction/), [Ensembl VEP](https://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/tools/vep/index.html))
17. Present QC for raw read, alignment, gene biotype, sample similarity, and strand-specificity checks ([`MultiQC`](http://multiqc.info/), [`R`](https://www.r-project.org/))

## Usage

> [!NOTE]
> If you are new to Nextflow and nf-core, please refer to [this page](https://nf-co.re/docs/get_started/environment_setup/overview) on how to set-up Nextflow. Make sure to [test your setup](https://nf-co.re/docs/get_started/run-your-first-pipeline) with `-profile test` before running the workflow on actual data.

First, prepare a samplesheet with your input data that looks as follows:

`samplesheet.csv`:

```csv
sample,fastq_1,fastq_2
CONTROL_REP1,AEG588A1_S1_L002_R1_001.fastq.gz,AEG588A1_S1_L002_R2_001.fastq.gz
```

Each row represents a fastq file (single-end) or a pair of fastq files (paired end).

Now, you can run the pipeline using:

```console
nextflow run nf-core/rnavar -profile <docker/singularity/podman/shifter/charliecloud/conda/institute> --input samplesheet.csv  --outdir <OUTDIR> --genome GRCh38
```

> [!WARNING]
> Please provide pipeline parameters via the CLI or Nextflow `-params-file` option. Custom config files including those provided by the `-c` Nextflow option can be used to provide any configuration _**except for parameters**_; see [docs](https://nf-co.re/docs/running/run-pipelines#using-parameter-files).

For more details and further functionality, please refer to the [usage documentation](https://nf-co.re/rnavar/usage) and the [parameter documentation](https://nf-co.re/rnavar/parameters).
