(1) Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of patients with advanced tumors is becoming an established method in Molecular Tumor Boards. However, somatic variant detection, interpretation, and report generation, require in-depth knowledge of both bioinformatics and oncology. (2) Methods: MIRACUM-Pipe combines many individual tools into a seamless workflow for comprehensive analyses and annotation of NGS data including quality control, alignment, variant calling, copy number variation estimation, evaluation of complex biomarkers, and RNA fusion detection. (3) Results: MIRACUM-Pipe offers an easy-to-use, one-prompt standardized solution to analyze NGS data, including quality control, variant calling, copy number estimation, annotation, visualization, and report generation. (4) Conclusions: MIRACUM-Pipe, a versatile pipeline for NGS, can be customized according to bioinformatics and clinical needs and to support clinical decision-making with visual processing and interactive reporting.
(1) 背景:晚期肿瘤患者的下一代测序(NGS)正成为分子肿瘤委员会中的一种既定方法。然而,体细胞变异检测、解读和报告生成需要生物信息学和肿瘤学方面的深入知识。(2) 方法:MIRACUM-Pipe将许多单独的工具整合到一个无缝工作流程中,用于对NGS数据进行全面分析和注释,包括质量控制、比对、变异调用、拷贝数变异估计、复杂生物标志物评估以及RNA融合检测。(3) 结果:MIRACUM-Pipe提供了一个易于使用的、一键式标准化解决方案,用于分析NGS数据,包括质量控制、变异调用、拷贝数估计、注释、可视化和报告生成。(4) 结论:MIRACUM-Pipe是一种通用的NGS流程,可根据生物信息学和临床需求进行定制,并通过可视化处理和交互式报告支持临床决策。
