Test-drive the GATK tools and Best Practices pipelines on Terra
Check out this blog post to learn how you can get started with GATK and try out the pipelines in preconfigured workspaces (with a user-friendly interface!) without having to install anything.
GenomeSTRIP CNVDiscoveryPipeline without LSF

Hello,
I am running GenomeSTRIP CNVDiscoveryPipeline on a set of bam files on a server that does not have LSF installed. Is there a separate mode that works on a standalone server, or is LSF a strict requirement regardless?
I am running the command
classpath="${SV_DIR}/lib/SVToolkit.jar:${SV_DIR}/lib/gatk/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar:${SV_DIR}/lib/gatk/Queue.jar"
java -Xmx8g -cp ${classpath} \
org.broadinstitute.gatk.queue.QCommandLine \
-S ${SV_DIR}/qscript/discovery/cnv/CNVDiscoveryPipeline.q \
-S ${SV_DIR}/qscript/SVQScript.q \
-cp ${classpath} \
-gatk ${SV_DIR}/lib/gatk/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar \
-configFile ${SV_DIR}/conf/genstrip_parameters.txt \
-ploidyMapFile $PLOIDY_MAP_FILE \
-genderMapFile $GENDER_MAP_FILE \
-R $REFERENCE_GENOME \
-I $bam \
-md $OUTPUT_FOLDER/metadata \
-runDirectory $OUTPUT_FOLDER/run/$bam_id \
-jobLogDir $LOG_FOLDER \
-tilingWindowSize 1000 \
-tilingWindowOverlap 500 \
-maximumReferenceGapLength 1000 \
-boundaryPrecision 100 \
-minimumRefinedLength 500 \
-run
Unfortunately, I am not getting any calls in the output folder. Instead, I am seeing the following exception thrown in each log out file (such as CNVDiscoveryPipeline-304.out):
INFO 17:43:35,051 QCommandLine - Done with errors

at org.broadinstitute.gatk.queue.QCommandLine.main(QCommandLine.scala)
INFO 17:43:35,055 QCommandLine - Shutting down jobs. Please wait...
How can I fix this issue and get CNV calls output?
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Should probably be in GenomeSTRIP forum section.

Hi,Yes, I moved your question to the GenomeSTRiP category where @bhandsaker will help you.

In practice, you need to have some kind of cluster computing environment to be able to run Genome STRiP successfully. The methods are population-based, requiring many input samples, so you generally need at least 50-100 samples to process together to get best results. Doing this on a single machine is generally not tractable. I'm a little surprised you were able to get through GS preprocessing without hitting this problem already.
That being said, technically you can try with the arguments
-jobRunner Shell -gatkJobRunner Shell
. This will run single-threaded on the local host. There is also a ParallelShell option in Queue (use ParallelShell instead of Shell), but I haven't personally tried it.
