Hi,

I am using CNVnator for CNV calling with WGS data.
Here are the commands I use:

# Extract read mapping
time $cnvnatorPATH/cnvnator -root sample.root -chrom chr1 chr2 chr3 chr4 chr5 chr6 chr7 chr8 chr9 chr10 chr11 chr12 chr13 chr14 chr15 chr16 chr17 chr18 chr19 chr20 chr21 chr22 chrX chrY chrMT -tree $BAMdir/sample_GRCh37.bam

# Generate histogram

Am I using CNVnator correctly?

Regarding on your Github Quick start guide, you can generate histogram from a single file_genome.fa.gz thanks to the -fasta option:

So I'm not sure I understand what step requires splitting this single whole genome fasta file (e.g. human_g1k_v37.fasta) into multiple fasta files for each chromosome ?

Thanks for your help,

Véronique

Hi, look fine to me. I don’t think you need to split genome into individual chromosome when using -fasta option. We also recommend switching to new tool CNVpytor https://github.com/abyzovlab/CNVpytor.

Thank you for your quick answer!

Good to know for the CNVnator python extension!
I'll take a look at CNVpytor.
