ILIAD: Suite of Genomic Data Workflows
Iliad is a multi-functional toolkit comprised of genomic data processing pipelines implemented via the Snakemake workflow management system, Singularity or Docker container, and a handful of Conda environments. Instances of any Singularity or Docker containers and Conda environments are automatically pulled down and created to build the right execution environment during workflow runtime, making light of the numerous required bioinformatic third-party software tools and dependencies. The multi-functional feature is supported by a modularized Snakemake workflow design and includes independent Snakemake workflows to accommodate many forms of genomic data and translate them to comprehensible genotypes in a variant call format (VCF) file.
Quick intro about Iliad
These are the currently supported genomic data starting points below:
Raw Sequence Read Data (.fq)
Stored Sequence Read Data (.cram)
SNP Array Data (.idat)
VCF data (.vcf/.vcf.gz)
Iliad is set apart by empowering genetic data management and processing for reference and target datasets independently or simultaneously.
What you need to do:
Follow the Installation and How-To Guides for the appropriate module or submodule you are interested in running
Add your working directory PATH to the top of the configuration file
Iliad/config/config.yaml
provide an FTP link for the desired open-source raw or stored data into an Excel file found in the cloned
Iliad/config
directory OR migrate locally hosted data into the cloned Iliad repository
What Iliad will do:
Deliver the GWAS data you need for your analyses as optimized VCF output
