Hello, I am using TNScope and was thinking of adding to the module so that it can handle tumor normal pairs as described here. Would that work?
r
sure 👍
r
Should I do a separate module? Maybe do the module on nf-core/modules and then include it here? It just seems to be a very different use case than the one on sarek at the moment
r
ideally the tnscope module can be extended to both. See for example mutect2. BUt in either case add to nf-core modules first and then into sarek
s
What exactly are you after? TNscope is currently implemented as a tumour normal caller?

Thanks @Simon Pearce! I have been in communication with Sentieon about my situation, and they suggested to use a different strategy:
For WES and WGS samples, we suggest using TNhaplotyper2 and TNfilter (with OrientationBias and ContaminationModel) instead of TNscope... We have found that TNhaplotyper2's filtering works very well with WES/WGS samples.
So I wanted to add that option to the module
s
do you know what the difference between tnseq and tnscope is?

From this: "TNscope® uses an improved variant calling algorithm to obtain higher accuracy and improved runtimes, while TNseq® matches the GATK's Mutect2 somatic variant calling with substantially improved runtime and parallelization."
