Abstract

Summary: DNA sequencing continues to get cheaper and faster. In parallel, algorithmic innovations have allowed inference of a wide range of nuclear, mitochondrial, somatic and evolutionary from DNA sequencing data. To make automated, high-quality DNA sequencing more readily available, we created an extensible Nextflow meta-pipeline called metapipeline-DNA. Metapipeline-DNA supports processing raw sequencing reads through alignment, variant detection, quality control and subclonal reconstruction. Each step supports quality-control, data-visualization and multiple algorithms. Metapipeline-DNA is cloud-compatible and highly configurable, with options to subsect, optimize and optimize analyses, including with automated failure-recovery. Metapipeline-DNA enables high-scale, fault-tolerant, comprehensive analysis of genome sequencing.

Availability: Metapipeline-DNA is an open-source Nextflow pipeline under the GPLv2 license and is available at https://github.com/uclahs-cds/metapipeline-DNA.
