\title{Getting Started with the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK)}

\section{Build Prerequisites}
GATK requires JDK 1.6 and Ant 1.7.1 to compile.
\section{Getting and Building the Source}
GATK is located in the Sting svn repository, and
compiles using a build.xml in the root directory.
Download and build the source as follows:
\begin{verbatim}
svn co https://svnrepos/Sting/trunk Sting
cd Sting
ant
\end{verbatim}
\section{Getting Started}
The core concept behind GATK is the walker, a class that implements the
three core operations: filtering, mapping, and reducing.
\begin{description}
\item [filter] reduces the size of the dataset by applying a predicate.
\item [map] Applies a function to each individual element in a dataset,
effectively 'mapping' it to a new element.
\item [reduce] Inductively combines the elements of a list. The base
case is supplied by the reduceInit() function, and the inductive step
is performed by the reduce() function.
\end{description}
Users of the GATK will provide a walker to run their analyses. The engine
will produce a result by first filtering the dataset, running a map operation,
and finally reducing the map operation to a single result.
\section{Creating a Walker}
To be loaded by GATK, the walker must satisfy the following properties:
\begin{enumerate}
\item It must be a loose class, not packaged into a jar file.
\item It must be in the unnamed package (in other words, the source
should not start with a package declaration).
\item It must subclass one of the basic walkers in the
org.broadinstitute.sting.gatk.walkers package: ReadWalker or
LociWalker.
\item It must live in the directory \$STING\_HOME/dist/walkers.
\end{enumerate}
\section{Example}
This walker will print output for each read it sees, eventually computing the
total number of reads by mapping every read to 1 and summing all the 1s to
realize the total number of reads.
\begin{samepage}
Copy the following text into the file \$STING\_HOME/dist/walkers/HelloWalker.java:
\begin{verbatim}
import net.sf.samtools.SAMRecord;
import org.broadinstitute.sting.gatk.LocusContext;
import org.broadinstitute.sting.gatk.walkers.ReadWalker;
/**
* Define a class extending from ReadWalker with types
* <MapType,ReduceType>.
*/
public class HelloWalker extends ReadWalker<Integer,Long> {
private Long currentRead = 0L;
// Maps each read to the value 1.
public Integer map(LocusContext context, SAMRecord read) {
System.out.printf("Hello read %d%n", ++currentRead );
return 1;
}
// Provides an initial value for the reduce function.
public Long reduceInit() { return 0L; }
// Defines how to compute the reduction given a value in the list.
public Long reduce(Integer value, Long sum) {
return sum + value;
}
}
\end{verbatim}
\end{samepage}
To compile the walker:
\begin{verbatim}
setenv CLASSPATH $STING_HOME/dist/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar:$STING_HOME/dist/sam-1.0.jar
javac HelloWalker.java
\end{verbatim}
To run the walker:
\begin{verbatim}
mkdir $STING_HOME/dist/walkers
java -Xmx4096m -jar dist/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar \
-I /broad/1KG/legacy_data/trio/na12878.bam -T Hello \
-L chr1:10000000-10000100 -l INFO
\end{verbatim}
This command will run the walker across a subsection of chromosome 1, operating on
reads which align to that subsection.
