filterVars: Filter VCF files
In systemPipeR: systemPipeR: NGS workflow and report generation environment

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Convenience function for filtering VCF files based on user definable quality parameters. The function imports each VCF file into R, applies the filtering on an internally generated VRanges object and then writes the results to a new VCF file.

1	filterVars(args, filter, varcaller, organism)

`args`	Object of class `SYSargs` or `SYSargs2`. The paths of the input VCF files are specified under `infile1(args)` and the paths of the output files under `outfile1(args)` or `output(args)`.
`filter`	Character vector of length one specifying the filter syntax that will be applied to the internally created `VRanges` object.
`varcaller`	Character vector of length one specifying the variant caller used for generating the input VCFs. Currently, this argument can be assigned 'gatk', 'bcftools' or 'vartools'.
`organism`	Character vector specifying the organism name of the reference genome.

Output files in VCF format. Their paths can be obtained with outpaths(args) or output(args).

## Alignment with BWA (sequentially on single machine)
param <- system.file("extdata", "bwa.param", package="systemPipeR")
targets <- system.file("extdata", "targets.txt", package="systemPipeR")
args <- systemArgs(sysma=param, mytargets=targets)
sysargs(args)[1]

## Not run: 
system("bwa index -a bwtsw ./data/tair10.fasta")
bampaths <- runCommandline(args=args)

## Alignment with BWA (parallelized on compute cluster)
resources <- list(walltime="20:00:00", nodes=paste0("1:ppn=", cores(args)), memory="10gb")
reg <- clusterRun(args, conffile=".BatchJobs.R", template="torque.tmpl", Njobs=18, runid="01",
                  resourceList=resources)

## Variant calling with GATK
## The following creates in the inital step a new targets file
## (targets_bam.txt). The first column of this file gives the paths to
## the BAM files created in the alignment step. The new targets file and the
## parameter file gatk.param are used to create a new SYSargs
## instance for running GATK. Since GATK involves many processing steps, it is
## executed by a bash script gatk_run.sh where the user can specify the
## detailed run parameters. All three files are expected to be located in the
## current working directory. Samples files for gatk.param and
## gatk_run.sh are available in the subdirectory ./inst/extdata/ of the 
## source file of the systemPipeR package.
