Functions¶

General Information¶

Optional Arguments for all Functions¶

--out ResultFile : File that will contain the function’s results.vcf(.gz)
--log LogFile : File that will contain the function’s log.log
--gz : Force all outputs to be bgzipped

Produced ascii files are automatically bgzipped if the filename given by the user ends with .gz

If the user provides the --gz arguments, all output files be bgzipped and .gz will be appended automatically to the filenames (if missing). Output streamed to STD_OUT will also be bgzipped.

VCF Filter Functions¶

CompoundHeterozygous¶

Keeps only variants that respect the Compound Heterozygous pattern of inheritance.

Mandatory Arguments

--vcf input.vcf(.gz) : VCF file to use as an input. Can be bgzipped
--nohomo TRUE|FALSE : Reject if a case is homozygous to alternate allele or if a control has none of the allele ?
--ped samples.ped : File describing the VCF’s samples (See File Formats in the documentation)
--missing TRUE|FALSE : Missing genotypes allowed ?

Description

Keeps only variants that respect the Compound Heterozygous pattern of inheritance. In the Compound Heterozygous pattern of inheritance, two variants V1 and V2 from the same gene are valid if

All cases have V1 and V2
No control have V1 and V2

Thus, a variant are rejected if

one case doesn’t have V1 and V2
one control has V1 and V2

With --missing true, missing genotypes are considered compatible with the transmission pattern. The --nohomo options allows to reject alternate alleles if a case is homozygous to an alternate allele or if at least one control is not heterozygous to an alternate allele of V1/V2. (If all the controls are supposed to be parents of cases) It might be difficult to read results, since several combination of valid variants might exist. So an extra INFO field COMPOUND is added detailing the variants relation. This field reads as | COMPOUND=A1>P1(gA|gB|gC)&P2(gD|gE|gF),A2>P3(gG|gH|gI)&P4(gJ|gK|gL),... Where:

Ax is the number of the allele involved
Px is the partner allele in form chr:pos:ref:alt
gX is the symbol of the gene common to this allele and it partner

Warning

The input VCF File must have been previously annotated with vep.

Note

In case of multiallelic variants : If at least one alternate allele satisfy all the conditions, the whole variant line is kept.

Mandatory Arguments

--vcf input.vcf(.gz) : VCF file to use as an input. Can be bgzipped
--ped samples.ped : File describing the VCF’s samples (See File Formats in the documentation)

Description

Keeps only variants that are compatible with a De Novo pattern of inheritance.

Warning

Father/Mother/Child(ren) Trios are expected

Note

In case of multiallelic variants : If at least one alternate allele satisfy all the conditions, the whole variant line is kept.

Mandatory Arguments

--mode Mode : strict : true for all cases | loose : true for at least one case

Description

Keeps only variants that respect the Dominant pattern of inheritance In the Dominant pattern of inheritance

Cases should have the causal variant
Controls cannot have the causal variant

Thus, a variant is rejected if

one case doesn’t possess the alternate allele (strict mode)
one control possesses the alternate allele

If --missing true, missing genotypes are considered compatible with the transmission pattern. The --nohomo options allows to reject alternate alleles if at least one case is homozygous. (If you expect the resulting phenotype would not be consistent for example.) In the strict mode, all cases must have the alternate allele. In the loose mode, only one case has to have the allele (More permissive for larger panels).

ExtendBed¶

Adds a padding to the left and right of each regions in the bed, and merges overlapping regions

Mandatory Arguments

--bed regions.bed : the Bed file to pad
--pad PositiveInteger : number of bases to add left and right of each region

Description

Adds a padding to the left and right of each regions in the bed, and merges overlapping regions

GeneCards¶

Generates a script to retrieves GeneCards HTML pages for each gene in the given list.

Mandatory Arguments

--file genes.txt : file listing genes

Description

Generates a script to retrieves GeneCards HTML pages for each gene in the given list.

GeneCardsParser¶

Exports summary data from a genecards HTML files as an unformatted table

Mandatory Arguments

--file input.html : input genecards HTML file

Description

Exports summary data from a genecards HTML files as an unformatted table All HTML markup are removed. The data are formatted as such :

#Gene

GeneCards

Entrez Gene

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot

GzPaste¶

Unix paste command for gzipped files

Mandatory Arguments

--files file1.gz,file2.gz,...,fileN.gz : list (comma separated) of gzipped files to paste

Description

Equivalent to the unix paste command without any special option. Each input file can be either gzipped or not (mix are possible) Use --gz to gzip the output

IsInBed¶

Check if a given chromosome:position is contained in a bedFile

Mandatory Arguments

--chrom chromosome : chromosome name : (chr)[1-25]/X/Y/M/MT
--pos PositiveInteger : Position
--bed region.bed : the Bed File to process

Description

Check if a given chromosome:position is contained in a bedFile If it is : gives the region’s limits Otherwise : gives the regions before and after the position

NormalizePed¶

Extract x subgroups of y samples for each group present in the Ped file

Mandatory Arguments

--ped samples.ped : The input PED file to process
--number PositiveInteger : Number Of subgroups for each group
--size PositiveInteger : Group Size

Description

Extract x subgroups of y samples for each group present in the Ped file If the input ped file has three groups A,B,C of 50 individuals each. Using the command with --number 3 --size 10 will create 9 group : A A2 A3 B B2 B3 C C2 C3, with 10 individuals in each, randomly picked from groups A B and C. This function is useful to dived groups, for instance to have 1 learning set and several computing sets.

RandomPed¶

Keeps N random samples from a Ped File

Mandatory Arguments

--ped samples.ped : The input PED file to process
--threshold PositiveInteger : Number Of Samples

Description

Keeps N random samples from a Ped File

SimplifyBED¶

Returns a simplified bed (with the smallest number of regions covering all the positions in the input bed file).

Mandatory Arguments

--bed region.bed : the Bed File to process

Description

Returns a simplified bed (with the smallest number of regions covering all the positions in the input bed file). This is useful when the input bed file contains several overlapping regions.

Graphics¶

GraphCompareFrequencies¶

Compares the frequencies of common variants in 2 populations (output of FrequencyCorrelation / CompareToGnomAD)

Mandatory Arguments
