Manual

Argument name(s)Default valueSummary
Required Inputs
--input
NAThe raw input variants to be recalibrated
--recal_file
 -recalFile
NAThe input recal file used by ApplyRecalibration
Optional Inputs
--tranches_file
 -tranchesFile
NAThe input tranches file describing where to cut the data
Optional Outputs
--out
 -o
stdoutThe output filtered and recalibrated VCF file in which each variant is annotated with its VQSLOD value
Optional Parameters
--ignore_filter
 -ignoreFilter
NAIf specified, the recalibration will be applied to variants marked as filtered by the specified filter name in the input VCF file
--mode
SNPRecalibration mode to employ: 1.) SNP for recalibrating only SNPs (emitting indels untouched in the output VCF); 2.) INDEL for indels; and 3.) BOTH for recalibrating both SNPs and indels simultaneously.
--ts_filter_level
NAThe truth sensitivity level at which to start filtering
Optional Flags
--excludeFiltered
 -ef
falseDon't output filtered loci after applying the recalibration
--ignore_all_filters
 -ignoreAllFilters
falseIf specified, the variant recalibrator will ignore all input filters. Useful to rerun the VQSR from a filtered output file.
--useAlleleSpecificAnnotations
 -AS
falseIf specified, the tool will attempt to apply a filter to each allele based on the input tranches and allele-specific .recal file.
Advanced Parameters
--lodCutoff
NAThe VQSLOD score below which to start filtering
