A pipeline to analyse non-coding variants which uses CRAC

May 20, 2016

---

Mucaki et al published an article in BMC Medical Genomics entitled “A unified analytic framework for prioritization of non-coding variants of uncertain significance in heritable breast and ovarian cancer”.

Their pipeline uses both CRAC and Casava for the sequence alignment, then SNVs and indels were called using GATK. There is little agreement between both methods and the authors exhibit an example of a discordance, which is at CRAC’s advantage.

Warning on libhts version

May 19, 2016

---

Several users had the same issue, with libhts. You may not have the good version of this library. You should install libhts1, which doesn’t seem to be directly available under Ubuntu 14.04. You can find more details on that issue in the FAQ.

CRAC version 2.5.0 released

Jan 29, 2016

---

 Bug corrections

• Correct bug in chimeric alignment where alignments pos and chr where not properly setted
• Correct memory leak detected with valgrind
• Correct problem when second end has the length of the k-mer (Bug submitted by E. Mathijs)
• Correct segfault problem produced by a very special case of chimeric alignments (Bug submitted by E. Mathijs)
• Correct canonical k-mer counts from JellyReadsIndex when –stranded option is activated (Bug submitted by S. Beaumeunier)

CRAC version 2.4.0 released

Oct 2, 2015

---

Improvements

• integrate a better crac_score for chimera events detection
• add a XS field as topHat does (it allows it to conform to cufflinks or stringtie)

 Bug corrections

• extra fields are removed when the read is unmapped
• XE inconsistencies for SNVs and indels
• fixed wrong positions (reads and genome) for indels cases and add unit tests

CracTools version 1.2 released

Jul 17, 2015

---

If you love CRAC and you want to get the most out of it, take a look at the new version of the CracTools that is a complete toolbox designed to build pipelines (in Perl) on top of CRAC.

It is also shipped with a command-line tool that extracts splicing variants, chimeric variants, indels and SNPs identified by CRAC at the read level then collapses them into standard formats (BED,VCF).
