WiGiTS is a universal open source suite of genome and transcriptome analysis tools for cancer research and diagnostics
The current release of the WiGiTs pipeline is v2.0. Release notes are here.
We recommend to run WiGiTS using the NextFlow implementation called OncoAnalyser. It will be available on nfCore April 2025.
A detailed list of the resource files used to run the WiGiTs pipeline is here. The files themselves are available for download here.
The pipeline can be run on a targeted panel eg TSO500 - see detailed information here.
Here is a schematic showing how the interactions between the core molecular components of the tool suite:
The next planned release of the WiGiTs pipeline is v2.0, expected to be available on nfCore during April. Release notes are here:
