Trained in molecular biology I slowly moved to the computational side and data anlysis of genomic data. I am now a bioinformatics scientist working at Illumina within the "Population and Medical Genomics" group. My interests are in genomics, molecular biology, cancer biology, tumour evolution and reproducible science. I regularly use R/Bioconductor, Python, SQL I know a thing or two about copy number abnormalities in cancer and I develop tools to analyse Next Generation Sequencing data.

C: CWL: Loops and if conditionals
... I am a beginner with cwl, but here my approach to conditional events. Make the workflow linear, like this:

Preprocess-Required?

Pre-process data

Process Data
L'et's say that Preprocess-Required spit out a file with "YES" or "NO"
Then preprocess data read that file ...

... I am experimenting with CWL and cwltool. I have successfully written a workflow that can scatter jobs. However, cwltool runs them sequencially, whereas I would like to to use the Sun Grid Engine (SGE) to run jobs in parallel. I looked into Toil to run it but I have found it not capable of running th ...

Comment:
C: CNV from FFPE genomes
... Can I ask you what tools you used, what is the typical coverage, if you use a match normal (and if so, if you use same library prep) and if the tools you used perform GC correction. These are the first relevant questions that pop in my mind...

... Hi.
I think there are quite few "pure biologist" that turned to the darks side of bioinformatics, and I am one of them. I didn't have any formal training in programming/informatics till the end of my Ph.D. in molecural biology. For sure, all you knowledge in biology is not wasted. It is an asset.

... 50M reads is quite a lot, actually. In CNAnorm all windows are equally sized. If you set 10Kbp windows, you would get an average of 170 reads per window. Which is plenty.
From a quick count, 85% of exons are less than 10Kbp apart, and 93% less than 25kbp apart, so most of your windows will have som ...

... Hi. exome is a bit more tricky becose is uneven, but as a rule of thumb, try to have, as average, 50 reads per window. In gene rich regions you will have more, in gene poor a bit less. HOw many reads do you have in total? Good luck.

... Hi. You don't need high coverage data for copy number detection at the resolution of arrays.
You could use CNAnorm. It is designed to detect somatic CNA from low coverage genomic data (2 Million reads would be enough, very affordable if you multiplex on a run) and it does not assumes a particular r ...
