> **_XAVIER - eXome Analysis and Variant explorER_**. **XAVIER** is an open-source, reproducible, and scalable solution for analyzing Whole Exome sequencing data. Its long-term goals: to accurately call germline and somatic variants, to infer CNVs, and to boldly annotate variants like no pipeline before!

## Overview

Welcome to XAVIER's documentation! This guide is the main source of documentation for users that are getting started with the [XAVIER pipeline](https://github.com/CCBR/XAVIER).

The **`xavier`** pipeline is composed several inter-related sub commands to setup and run the pipeline across different systems. Each of the available sub commands perform different functions:

- [<code>xavier <b>run</b></code>](usage/run.md): Run the XAVIER pipeline with your input files.
- [<code>xavier <b>unlock</b></code>](usage/unlock.md): Unlocks a previous runs output directory.
- [<code>xavier <b>cache</b></code>](usage/cache.md): Cache remote resources locally, coming soon!

XAVIER is a comprehensive whole exome-sequencing pipeline following the Broad's set of best practices. It relies on technologies like [Singularity<sup>1</sup>](https://singularity.lbl.gov/) to maintain the highest-level of reproducibility. The pipeline consists of a series of data processing and quality-control steps orchestrated by [Snakemake<sup>2</sup>](https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/stable/), a flexible and scalable workflow management system, to submit jobs to a cluster or cloud provider.

The pipeline is compatible with data generated from Illumina short-read sequencing technologies. As input, it accepts a set of FastQ or BAM files and can be run locally on a compute instance, on-premise using a cluster, or on the cloud (feature coming soon!). A user can define the method or mode of execution. The pipeline can submit jobs to a cluster using a job scheduler like SLURM, or run on AWS using Tibanna (feature coming soon!). A hybrid approach ensures the pipeline is accessible to all users.

Before getting started, we highly recommend reading through the [usage](usage/run.md) section of each available sub command.
