Intraspecies variation in medaka fish and humans
The CNest workflow runs the CNest pipeline which has been speifically developed for large scale analysis of copy number from NGS data (https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.08.19.456963). It primarily uses read depth (coverage) information to generate robust copy number estimates for individual samples and is most approprate for use in very large cohorts (minimum of 1000 samples). The main objective of the CNest pipeline is the calculation of copy number estimate that are robust enough to allow genome wide association analysis for CNVs from NGS datasets (CNV-GWAS).

A new approach to reporting and sharing Methods
The ENCODE consortium have published an integrated analysis of ENCODE genome-wide data. Each analysis depends upon specific software processing that has a series of source data files. These are transformed into output files relating to specific statements and figures in the paper and their corresponding analysis.
We have established a virtual machine instance of this software, using the code bundles from ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/ensembl/encode/supplementary/, where each analysis program has been tested and run.
Where possible, the virtual machine enables complete reproduction of the analysis as it was performed, and generates figures, tables or other information. In cases where the analysis involved highly parallelised processing within a specialised multiprocessor environment, a partial example has been implemented, leaving it to the reader to decide whether and how to scale to a full analysis.
We hope that this structure provides the opportunity to run the same analyses in the wild.
You can “instantiate” an Amazon EC2 instance to examine figures from the ENCODE analysis in the cloud. To get started, follow the instructions at http://scofield.bx.psu.edu/~dannon/encodevm/#
