[INSTALLATION]

1. Install individual programs and references for hg38 according to the hg19 versions.

2. Download latest hg38 version of filters for ANNOVAR, including dbnsfp47a, clinvar_20240611, cosmic70 and avsnp151 to humandb38. Make Cosmic100 according to the ANNOVAR instruction. Remove ";" and  "," from hg38_cosmic100.txt.

3. There seem problems with STAR 4.7 for variant calling. Use older version instead (provided here).

4. Download recent gatk (4.6 above) to /path/to/programs/gatk.

5. create directories of hg38_gtf, gene38_loc, cytoband38_loc and dbSNPnew38 (scripts provided here).

6. A PON file (pon_hg38.cnn) of normal reference is provided for cnvkit38. Run as

   sh cnvkit38.sh tumor_name pon_hg38 cnv_folder

7. Create /path/to/programs/Genomon-ITDetector-master-hg38/ref38 for itd_test38.sh. Create 11.ooc and out.2bit usging hg38.fa. The hg38 version of config38.tmp and db files can be downloaded here.
  ./faToTwoBit hg38.fa out.2bit
  ./blat -makeOoc=11.ooc -repMatch=2253 -tileSize=11 out.2bit temp.fa temp.psl  

8. Create target38.intervals folder using following script:
  awk -F '\t' '{print $0 >> "/path/to/software/target38_intervals/" $1 ".bed"}' /path/to/target38.bed (provided here)


9. Write the Varscan options to /path/to/software/varscan.config.
