(Internal) Examines aligned contigs from local assemblies and calls structural variants
Category Structural Variant Discovery
Overview
(Internal) Examines aligned contigs from local assemblies and calls structural variantsThis tool is used in development and should not be of interest to most researchers. It packages structural variant calling as a separate tool, independent of the generation of local assemblies. Most researchers will run StructuralVariationDiscoveryPipelineSpark, which both generates local assemblies of interesting genomic regions, and then calls structural variants from these assemblies.
This tool takes a SAM/BAM/CRAM containing the alignments of assembled contigs from local assemblies and searches it for split alignments indicating the presence of structural variations. To do so the tool parses primary and supplementary alignments; secondary alignments are ignored. To be considered valid evidence of an SV, two alignments from the same contig must have mapping quality 60, and both alignments must have length greater than or equal to min-alignment-length. Imprecise variants with approximate locations are also called.
The input file is typically the output file produced by FindBreakpointEvidenceSpark.
Inputs
- An input file of assembled contigs or long reads aligned to reference.
- The reference to which the contigs have been aligned.
Output
- A vcf file describing the discovered structural variants.
Usage example
gatk DiscoverVariantsFromContigAlignmentsSAMSpark \ -I assemblies.sam \ -R reference.2bit \ -O structural_variants.vcf
This tool can be run without explicitly specifying Spark options. That is to say, the given example command without Spark options will run locally. See Tutorial#10060 for an example of how to set up and run a Spark tool on a cloud Spark cluster.
Notes
The reference is broadcast by Spark, and must therefore be a .2bit file due to current restrictions.

--bam-partition-size / NA
maximum number of bytes to read from a file into each partition of reads. Setting this higher will result in fewer partitions. Note that this will not be equal to the size of the partition in memory. Defaults to 0, which uses the default split size (determined by the Hadoop input format, typically the size of one HDFS block).
long 0 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]

List[String] []

Read filters to be disabled before analysis
List[String] []
--disable-sequence-dictionary-validation / -disable-sequence-dictionary-validation
If specified, do not check the sequence dictionaries from our inputs for compatibility. Use at your own risk!
boolean false
--disable-tool-default-read-filters / -disable-tool-default-read-filters
Disable all tool default read filters (WARNING: many tools will not function correctly without their default read filters on)
boolean false
--exclude-intervals / -XL
One or more genomic intervals to exclude from processing
Use this argument to exclude certain parts of the genome from the analysis (like -L, but the opposite).
This argument can be specified multiple times. You can use samtools-style intervals either explicitly on the
command line (e.g. -XL 1 or -XL 1:100-200) or by loading in a file containing a list of intervals
(e.g. -XL myFile.intervals).
List[String] []
--gatk-config-file / NA
A configuration file to use with the GATK.
String null
--gcs-max-retries / -gcs-retries
If the GCS bucket channel errors out, how many times it will attempt to re-initiate the connection
int 20 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]
--help / -h
display the help message
boolean false
--imprecise-variant-evidence-threshold / NA
Number of pieces of imprecise evidence necessary to call a variant in the absence of an assembled breakpoint.
int 7 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]
--input / -I
BAM/SAM/CRAM file containing reads
R List[String] []
--interval-exclusion-padding / -ixp
Amount of padding (in bp) to add to each interval you are excluding.
Use this to add padding to the intervals specified using -XL. For example, '-XL 1:100' with a
padding value of 20 would turn into '-XL 1:80-120'. This is typically used to add padding around targets when
analyzing exomes.
int 0 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]
--interval-merging-rule / -imr
Interval merging rule for abutting intervals
By default, the program merges abutting intervals (i.e. intervals that are directly side-by-side but do not
actually overlap) into a single continuous interval. However you can change this behavior if you want them to be
treated as separate intervals instead.
The --interval-merging-rule argument is an enumerated type (IntervalMergingRule), which can have one of the following values:
- ALL
- OVERLAPPING_ONLY
IntervalMergingRule ALL
--interval-padding / -ip
Amount of padding (in bp) to add to each interval you are including.
Use this to add padding to the intervals specified using -L. For example, '-L 1:100' with a
padding value of 20 would turn into '-L 1:80-120'. This is typically used to add padding around targets when
analyzing exomes.
int 0 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]
--interval-set-rule / -isr
Set merging approach to use for combining interval inputs
By default, the program will take the UNION of all intervals specified using -L and/or -XL. However, you can
change this setting for -L, for example if you want to take the INTERSECTION of the sets instead. E.g. to
perform the analysis only on chromosome 1 exomes, you could specify -L exomes.intervals -L 1 --interval-set-rule
INTERSECTION. However, it is not possible to modify the merging approach for intervals passed using -XL (they will
always be merged using UNION).
Note that if you specify both -L and -XL, the -XL interval set will be subtracted from the -L interval set.
The --interval-set-rule argument is an enumerated type (IntervalSetRule), which can have one of the following values:
- UNION
- Take the union of all intervals
- INTERSECTION
- Take the intersection of intervals (the subset that overlaps all intervals specified)
IntervalSetRule UNION
--intervals / -L
One or more genomic intervals over which to operate
List[String] []
--max-callable-imprecise-deletion-size / NA
Maximum size deletion to call based on imprecise evidence without corroborating read depth evidence
int 15000 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]
--min-align-length / NA
Minimum flanking alignment length
Integer 50 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]
--num-reducers / NA
For tools that shuffle data or write an output, sets the number of reducers. Defaults to 0, which gives one partition per 10MB of input.
int 0 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]
--output / -O
prefix for discovery (non-genotyped) VCF; sample name will be appended after the provided argument, followed by "_inv_del_ins.vcf"
R String null
--output-shard-tmp-dir / NA

Exclusion: This argument cannot be used at the same time as sharded-output
.

Name of the program running
String null
--QUIET / NA
Whether to suppress job-summary info on System.err.
Boolean false
--read-filter / -RF
Read filters to be applied before analysis
List[String] []
--read-index / -read-index
Indices to use for the read inputs. If specified, an index must be provided for every read input and in the same order as the read inputs. If this argument is not specified, the path to the index for each input will be inferred automatically.
List[String] []
--read-validation-stringency / -VS
Validation stringency for all SAM/BAM/CRAM/SRA files read by this program. The default stringency value SILENT can improve performance when processing a BAM file in which variable-length data (read, qualities, tags) do not otherwise need to be decoded.
The --read-validation-stringency argument is an enumerated type (ValidationStringency), which can have one of the following values:
- STRICT
- LENIENT
- SILENT
ValidationStringency SILENT
--reference / -R
