All the jobs require a job name, user e-mail, input (format described in the 3 subsequent sections, see below) and human assembly version used for input genomic coordinates: GRCh37/hg19 or GRCh38/hg38.

Flowchart of 3 possible routes through MendelVar

Users can take 3 different routes depending on their input into MendelVar.

In Route 1, user provides a list of pre-defined intervals

In Route 2, user provides a list of single positions which are then expanded to intervals using custom fixed left and right flanks, up to 10 Mbp in either direction

In Route 3, user provides a list of single positions which are then expanded to intervals with boundaries defined by the furthest removed variant meeting a minimum LD threshold. The LD-defined boundaries can be subsequently extended to the nearest recombination hotspot.

Steps shared across the 3 routes then include:

-selection of a target 1000 Genomes population in order to generate SNP density-matching background intervals for enrichment testing

-specification of optional 5' and 3' gene overhangs. The overhangs extend gene definition outside of its CDS, by up to 20 kbp in either direction.

-choice of ontologies and pathways for enrichment testing
