ClusterCrosscheckMetrics (Picard)

Summary

Clusters the results from a {@link CrosscheckFingerprints} run according to the LOD score. The resulting metric file can be used to assist diagnosing results from {@link CrosscheckFingerprints}. It clusters the connectivity graph between the different groups. Two groups are connected if they have a LOD score greater than the {@link #LOD_THRESHOLD}.

Details

The results of running {@link CrosscheckFingerprints} can be difficult to analyze, especially when many groups are related (meaning LOD greater than {@link #LOD_THRESHOLD}) in non-transitive manner (A is related to B, B is related to C, but A doesn't seem to be related to C.) {@link ClusterCrosscheckMetrics} clusters the metrics from {@link CrosscheckFingerprints} so that all the groups in a cluster are related to each other either directly, or indirectly (thus A, B and C would end up in one cluster.) Two samples can only be in two different clusters if all the samples from these two clusters do not get high LOD scores when compared to each other.

Example

    java -jar picard.jar ClusterCrosscheckMetrics \
             INPUT=sample.crosscheck_metrics \
             LOD_THRESHOLD=3 \
             OUTPUT=sample.clustered.crosscheck_metrics
The resulting file, consists of the {@link ClusteredCrosscheckMetric} class and contains the original crosscheck metric values, for groups that end-up in the same clusters (regardless of LOD score of each comparison). In addition it notes the {@link ClusteredCrosscheckMetric#CLUSTER} identifier and the size of the cluster (in {@link ClusteredCrosscheckMetric#CLUSTER_SIZE}.) Groups that do not have high LOD scores with any other group (including itself!) will not be included in the metric file. Note that cross-group comparisons are not included in the metric file.

ClusterCrosscheckMetrics (Picard) specific arguments

This table summarizes the command-line arguments that are specific to this tool. For more details on each argument, see the list further down below the table or click on an argument name to jump directly to that entry in the list.

Argument name(s) Default value Summary
Required Arguments
--INPUT
 -I
null The cross-check metrics file to be clustered.
Optional Tool Arguments
--arguments_file
[] read one or more arguments files and add them to the command line
--help
 -h
false display the help message
--LOD_THRESHOLD
 -LOD
0.0 LOD score to be used as the threshold for clustering.
--OUTPUT
 -O
null Output file to write metrics to. Will write to stdout if null.
--version
false display the version number for this tool
Optional Common Arguments
--COMPRESSION_LEVEL
5 Compression level for all compressed files created (e.g. BAM and VCF).
--CREATE_INDEX
false Whether to create a BAM index when writing a coordinate-sorted BAM file.
--CREATE_MD5_FILE
false Whether to create an MD5 digest for any BAM or FASTQ files created.
--GA4GH_CLIENT_SECRETS
client_secrets.json Google Genomics API client_secrets.json file path.
--MAX_RECORDS_IN_RAM
500000 When writing files that need to be sorted, this will specify the number of records stored in RAM before spilling to disk. Increasing this number reduces the number of file handles needed to sort the file, and increases the amount of RAM needed.
--QUIET
false Whether to suppress job-summary info on System.err.
--REFERENCE_SEQUENCE
 -R
null Reference sequence file.
--TMP_DIR
[] One or more directories with space available to be used by this program for temporary storage of working files
--USE_JDK_DEFLATER
 -use_jdk_deflater
false Use the JDK Deflater instead of the Intel Deflater for writing compressed output
--USE_JDK_INFLATER
 -use_jdk_inflater
false Use the JDK Inflater instead of the Intel Inflater for reading compressed input
--VALIDATION_STRINGENCY
STRICT Validation stringency for all SAM files read by this program. Setting stringency to SILENT can improve performance when processing a BAM file in which variable-length data (read, qualities, tags) do not otherwise need to be decoded.
--VERBOSITY
INFO Control verbosity of logging.
Advanced Arguments
--showHidden
false display hidden arguments
