Dear GATK,
Given the most current optimized way to run Mutect2 on whole genomes of about 40-60X coverage (~300 G) , how long can I expect it to run on one whole genome sequence? Particularly, what would be the most optimal parameters or practices that you have for generating panel of normals from Mutect2?
I am running Mutect2 on several whole genomes to generate a PON with the multi-thread option -nct 3 per BAM. As of 7 days since starting this job, the run has only completed calls on chromosomes 1 and 2 for one whole genome BAM.
I plan on restarting the run using a scatter-and-gather approach and just split a Mutect2 job on one whole genome into some number of intervals. From my search on the forums, this seems to be the consensus of how best to run Mutect2. However, I would really appreciate any other recommendations.
Thanks!
Kevin
