  • Seurat - Analysis tool for tumor/normal DNA and RNA seq

    Hello everyone,

    I'd like to present Seurat, an analysis tool that we developed here at TGen. It detects somatic mutation (SNVs, indels, structural variance) and allelic imbalance in paired tumor/normal genome and transcriptome data.

    The code was made into a GATK module, so its use will probably be familiar to some. Input is indexed BAMs, and output is split into a VCF file for simple events and a tab-delimited text file for larger events.

    The latest release (and documentation) is at https://sourceforge.net/projects/seurat/ and we'd appreciate feedback, comments and suggestions! Right now the software is free from academic and research use.

    Thanks!

    -- Alexis Christoforides

    is is possible to run Seurat without RNAseq data?

      Great Job Alexis, first runs with the new version are coming off right now... Looks great as always

        Nizar, it will run on just the Tumor/normal DNA bam, RNA bam files are NOT required.

          thanks Jonathan, just started the analysis with Seurat, looks its gonna take FEW hours. I tweaked the script to add more memory to Java " java -Xmx2g -jar Seurat.jar ...". Without adding "-Xmx2g" I was getting a message "java heap OutOMemory".

            -refseq <refseq_file> Name of RefSeq transcript annotation file. If specified, gene-wide events can be detected, and SNVs/LOH events will be annotated with the gene name.
            Can someone direct me to a source for the hg19, UCSC transcript annotation file. I generated one from the knownGene.txt file in iGenomes' hg19 package using genePredToGtf.

            However, I keep getting the error:

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
