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 v3.0. Release notes are here.
We recommend running WiGiTS with Oncoanalyser, a Nextflow implementation of the WiGiTS pipeline.
A detailed list of the resource files used to run the WiGiTs pipeline is here. Download links to the resource files can be found on the Oncoanalyser page.
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:
