download-panel

This step of HATCHet downloads the 1000 genomes reference panel to phase germline mutations. It also downloads and creates other files necessary for phasing when the user has aligned their reads to a version of the human reference genome that is not the same as the version used in the 1000 genomes project (which was hg19, with no ‘chr’ prefix preceding chromosome names).

Note: This step requires access to the internet in order to download files. This step only needs to be run once per system.

Input

download-panel takes no input files and the following options:

Name Description Usage Default
-D, --refpaneldir Path to the Reference Panel This is the location where the 1000 genome project reference panel will be downloaded None
-R, --refpanel Reference Panel to use; only 1000 genomes project currently supported specify "1000GP_Phase3" to automatically download and use the panel from the 1000 genomes project "1000GP_Phase3"

Output

download-panel populates the directory -D, --refpaneldir with several files for phasing germline SNPs, and for performing liftover in situations when the reference genome used to align sequencing reads is different from the reference genome version used in the reference panel.
