WiGiTS is a universal open source suite of genome and transcriptome analysis tools for cancer research and diagnostics
We recommend to run WiGiTS using the NextFlow implementation called OncoAnalyser.
Alternatively, an example WGS pipeline which runs each of these components in turn is detailed here.
An example targeted-panel pipeline, including support for the HMF and TSO-500 panels, is detailed here.
Here is a schematic showing how the interactions between the core molecular components of the tool suite:
The latest HMF pipeline is v6.0. Release notes are here.
