Welcome to LOGAN! Before getting started, we highly recommend reading through LOGAN's documentation.
LOGAN is a comprehensive whole genome-sequencing pipeline following the Broad's set of best practices. It relies on technologies like Singularity1 to maintain the highest-level of reproducibility. The pipeline consists of a series of data processing and quality-control steps orchestrated by Nextflow2, a flexible and scalable workflow management system, to submit jobs to a cluster or cloud provider.
Before getting started, we highly recommend reading through the usage section of each available sub command.

Original pipelining and code forked from the CCBR Exome-seek Pipeline Exome-seek and OpenOmics
Requires: singularity>=3.5
nextflow>=22.10.2
singularity must be installed on the target system. Snakemake orchestrates the execution of each step in the pipeline. To guarantee the highest level of reproducibility, each step relies on versioned images from DockerHub. Nextflow uses singularity to pull these images onto the local filesystem prior to job execution, and as so, nextflow and singularity are the only two dependencies.
LOGAN can be used with the Nextflow pipelining software in Please clone this repository to your local filesystem using the following command on Biowulf:
# start an interactive node
sinteractive --mem=2g --cpus-per-task=2 --gres=lscratch:200
git clone https://github.com/CCBR/LOGAN
module load nextflow
##Example run
nextflow run LOGAN/main.nf -profile ci_stub -preview
LOGAN supports inputs of either
- paired end fastq files
--fastq_input
- A glob can be used to include all FASTQ files. Like --fastq_input "*R{1,2}.fastq.gz"
. Globbing requires quotes.
- Pre aligned BAM files with BAI indices
--bam_input
- A glob can be used to include all FASTQ files. Like --bam_input "*.bam"
. Globbing requires quotes.
- A sheet that indicates the sample name and either FASTQs or BAM file locations
--fastq_file_input
- A headerless tab delimited sheet that has the sample name, R1, and R2 file locations
Example
c130863309_TUMOR /data/nousomedr/c130863309_TUMOR.R1_001.fastq.gz /data/nousomedr/c130863309_TUMOR.R2_001.fastq.gz
c130889189_PBMC /data/nousomedr/c130889189_PBMC.R1_001.fastq.gz /data/nousomedr/c130889189_PBMC.R2_001.fastq.gz
--bam_file_input
- A headerless tab delimited sheet that has the sample name, bam, and bam index (bai) file locations
Example
c130863309_TUMOR /data/nousomedr/c130863309_TUMOR.bam /data/nousomedr/c130863309_TUMOR.bam.bai
c130889189_PBMC /data/nousomedr/c130889189_PBMC.bam /data/nousomedr/c130889189_PBMC.bam.bai
--genome
- A flag to indicate which genome to run. hg38, hg19 and mm10 are supported.
Example: --genome hg38
to run the hg38 genome
--genome hg19
and --genome mm10
are also supported
--genome hg38
- Based off the GRCh38.d1.vd1.fa which is consistent with TCGA/GDC processing pipelines
--genome hg38_sf
- Based off the Homo_sapiens_assembly38.fasta which is derived from the Broad Institute/NCI Sequencing Facility
The biggest difference between the two is that GRCh38.d1.vd1.fa only the GCA_000001405.15_GRCh38_no_alt_analysis_set, Sequence Decoys (GenBank Accession GCA_000786075), and Virus Sequences. Homo_sapiens_assembly38.fasta has HLA specific contigs which may not be compatible with certain downstream tools.
Required for Paired Tumor/Normal Mode
--sample_sheet
In Paired mode a sample sheet must be provided with the basename of the Tumor and Normal samples. This sheet must be Tab separated with a header for Tumor and Normal.
Example
Tumor Normal
c130863309_TUMOR c130863309_PBMC
c130889189_TUMOR c130889189_PBMC
No addtional flags for sample sheet are required as all samples will be used to call variants
Adding flags determines SNV (germline and/or somatic), SV, and/or CNV calling modes
--vc
or --snv
- Enables somatic SNV calling using mutect2, vardict, varscan, octopus, deepsomatic, strelka (TN only), MUSE (TN only), and lofreq (TN only)
--gl
or --germline
- Enables germline calling using Deepvariant
--sv
or --structural
- Enables somatic SV calling using Manta, GRIDSS, and SVABA
--cnv
or --copynumber
- Enables somatic CNV calling using FREEC, Sequenza, ASCAT, CNVKit, and Purple (hg19/hg38 only)
--callers
- Comma separated argument for selecting only specified callers, the default is to use all.
Example: --callers mutect2,octopus
--cnvcallers
- Comma separated argument for selecting only specified CNV callers, the default is to use all.
Example: --cnvcallers purple
--svcallers
- Comma separated argument for selecting only specified SV callers, the default is to use all.
Example: --svcallers gridss
--ffpe
- Adds additional filtering for FFPE by detecting strand orientation bias using SOBDetector.
--intervals
- Limits calling to intervals provided in target bed file (target bed should have three columns of chr, start, and end)
--exome
- When using exome data, this flag limits calling to intervals provided in target bed to reduce time and to account for exome sequencing specific parameters.
--indelrealign
- Enables indel realignment using the GATK pipeline when running alignment steps. May be helpful for certain callers (VarScan, VarDict) that do not have local haplotype reassembly.
