command line (e.g. -XL 1 or -XL 1:100-200) or by loading in a file containing a list of intervals
(e.g. -XL myFile.intervals). strings gathered from the command line -XL argument to be parsed into intervals to exclude

String ""

boolean false

boolean true
BAM/SAM/CRAM file containing reads
R List[GATKPath] []
Amount of padding (in bp) to add to each interval you are excluding.
Use this to add padding to the intervals specified using -XL. For example, '-XL 1:100' with a
padding value of 20 would turn into '-XL 1:80-120'. This is typically used to add padding around targets when
analyzing exomes.
int 0 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]
Interval merging rule for abutting intervals
By default, the program merges abutting intervals (i.e. intervals that are directly side-by-side but do not
actually overlap) into a single continuous interval. However you can change this behavior if you want them to be
treated as separate intervals instead.
The --interval-merging-rule argument is an enumerated type (IntervalMergingRule), which can have one of the following values:
IntervalMergingRule ALL
Amount of padding (in bp) to add to each interval you are including.
Use this to add padding to the intervals specified using -L. For example, '-L 1:100' with a
padding value of 20 would turn into '-L 1:80-120'. This is typically used to add padding around targets when
analyzing exomes.
int 0 [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]
Set merging approach to use for combining interval inputs
By default, the program will take the UNION of all intervals specified using -L and/or -XL. However, you can
change this setting for -L, for example if you want to take the INTERSECTION of the sets instead. E.g. to
perform the analysis only on chromosome 1 exomes, you could specify -L exomes.intervals -L 1 --interval-set-rule
INTERSECTION. However, it is not possible to modify the merging approach for intervals passed using -XL (they will
always be merged using UNION).
Note that if you specify both -L and -XL, the -XL interval set will be subtracted from the -L interval set.
The --interval-set-rule argument is an enumerated type (IntervalSetRule), which can have one of the following values:
IntervalSetRule UNION
One or more genomic intervals over which to operate
List[String] []
Inverted (with flipped acceptance/failure conditions) read filters applied before analysis (after regular read filters).
List[String] []
prevent spreading of boundary flows.
boolean false
keep supplementary alignments ?
keep supplementary alignments?
boolean true

delta in score
double NaN [ [ -∞ ∞ ] ]
If non-zero, partitions VCF output into shards, each containing up to the given number of records.
int 0 [ [ 0 ∞ ] ]
File to which reads should be written
R GATKPath null
alternate SAM tag to put original quality scores instead of overwriting the QUAL field. If not used, QUAL will be overwritten.
By default this tool overwrites the QUAL field with the new qualities. Setting this argument saves the original qualities in the specified SAM tag.
String null
Whether to suppress job-summary info on System.err.
Boolean false
Read filters to be applied before analysis
List[String] []
Indices to use for the read inputs. If specified, an index must be provided for every read input and in the same order as the read inputs. If this argument is not specified, the path to the index for each input will be inferred automatically.
List[GATKPath] []
Validation stringency for all SAM/BAM/CRAM/SRA files read by this program. The default stringency value SILENT can improve performance when processing a BAM file in which variable-length data (read, qualities, tags) do not otherwise need to be decoded.
The --read-validation-stringency argument is an enumerated type (ValidationStringency), which can have one of the following values:
ValidationStringency SILENT
Reference sequence
GATKPath null
