mitochondria-pipeline

Purpose :

Workflow for SNP and INDEL variant calling on mitochondria.

Requirements/expectations :

• BAM or CRAM file
• Median of the coverage over the autosome (if available, another central statistic would work too)
• Reference fasta (along with its index and dictionary) is only required when input is a BAM
• Default for max_read_length is 151, this is purely an optimization parameter and won't effect the results.

Output :

• A VCF file and its index
• Addtional Metrics
• Optional realigned to chrM BAM

Software version notes :

• GATK 4.1
• Cromwell version support
  • Successfully tested on v37
  • Does not work on versions < v23 due to output syntax
