UnifiedGenotyper queue extension

It says in the "ExampleUnifiedGenotyper" qscript that it runs an incomplete version of the UnifiedGenotyper. I have a two questions about this.

  • I cannot find the org.broadinstitute.sting.queue.extensions.gatk.UnifiedGenotyper class, is this not in the public source or am I blind?
  • Does the "incomplete" in the script starting comment mean that this extension is incomplete in its functionality? Or is it something else that is incomplete in its nature?

Basically I'm wondering if there are any pitfalls for me if I start using the example script as a base for my own variant calling qscript.

    Most of the queue.extensions are generated classes once you run 'ant'. The generated classes are Queue compatible versions of the walker command arguments. Instead of looking at the generated scala file you can find the same or better argument descriptions in the the gatkdocs for each walker.

    The 'incomplete' status of the script means that it is only a technical example, and will need to be tweaked for your specific requirements in your calling pipeline. Feel free to explore different command line options with the UG. For example using Queue you can create two instances of the UG and test using with BAQ and without. As for what UG commands you should be using, see the UG gatkdocs and the Best Practices for an overall description of where the UG fits in a calling pipeline.

    Thank you! That cleared things up for me.

    I also cannot find the UnifiedGenotyper class, and I have ran ant. Classes for other walkers are there. Does this class even exist or it is just mentioned as an example?

    @armen, can you tell me a bit more about what you are trying to do and what problem you are experiencing?

    Hi @Geraldine_VdAuwera,

    I followed the instructions on http://gatkforums.broadinstitute.org/discussion/1309/queue-with-intellij-idea to setup Queue with IntelliJ, and I'm trying to edit the example Unified Genotyper script public/scala/qscript/org/broadinstitute/sting/queue/qscripts/examples/ExampleUnifiedGenotyper.scala. However, the IDE tells me that the class UnifiedGenotyper doesn't exist.

    If I run ExampleUnifiedGenotyper.scala using Queue:

    java -jar dist/Queue.jar -S public/scala/qscript/org/broadinstitute/sting/queue/qscripts/examples/ExampleUnifiedGenotyper.scala -help

    I get errors for the same reason:

    I'm getting the same error. If I checkout the git repository and build using ant, I'm unable to find the GATK extensions. However, the prebuilt version of Queue works fine.

    Just for more clarifications...the Piccard extensions work fine and I cloned the repo on Monday.

    Hi folks, two quick questions to help find out what the problem is:

    1. Are you running ant clean before building? Sometimes just ant isn't enough.

    2. What is the output of the command: jar tvf dist/Queue.jar | grep 'extensions/gatk'?

    1. I tried it with ant clean and then ant queue, but still same errors.
    2. The output is attached.

    I also tried git checkout tags/2.6 followed by ant clean and ant queue. The error persists. It might be ivy related?

    Same results for me.

    Based on the output you attached, it looks like you're building from our "GATK framework only" repository (https://github.com/broadgsa/gatk) instead of our full "framework + tools" repository (https://github.com/broadgsa/gatk-protected), which includes both the core framework as well as our flagship tools like the UnifiedGenotyper and the HaplotypeCaller. In order to use the UnifiedGenotyper with Queue you'll need to clone and build from the gatk-protected repository.

    Hope this helps,
    David

    Thank you @droazen, it works now!

    It would be helpful to put the link to the full repository in http://gatkforums.broadinstitute.org/discussion/1306/overview-of-queue.
