CollectInsertSizeMetrics (version 3.1.1.0)
If empty, upload or import a SAM/BAM dataset.
REFERENCE_SEQUENCE
DEVIATIONS; This option is offered because insert size data typically includes enough anomalous values from chimeras and other artifacts to make the mean and SD grossly misleading regarding the real distribution. default=10.0
HISTOGRAM_WIDTH; optional
MINIMUM_PCT; (Range: 0 to 1). default=0.05.
ASSUME_SORTED
METRIC_ACCUMULATION_LEVEL
Setting stringency to SILENT can improve performance when processing a BAM file in which variable-length data (read, qualities, tags) do not otherwise need to be decoded.

Purpose

Reads a SAM or BAM dataset and writes a file containing metrics about the statistical distribution of insert size (excluding duplicates) and generates a Histogram plot.


Dataset collections - processing large numbers of datasets at once

This will be added shortly


Inputs, outputs, and parameters

Either a SAM file or a BAM file must be supplied. Galaxy automatically coordinate-sorts all uploaded BAM files.

From Picard documentation( http://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/):

DEVIATIONS=Double             Generate mean, sd and plots by trimming the data down to MEDIAN +
                              DEVIATIONS*MEDIAN_ABSOLUTE_DEVIATION. This is done because insert size data typically
                              includes enough anomalous values from chimeras and other artifacts to make the mean and
                              sd grossly misleading regarding the real distribution.  Default value: 10.0.

HISTOGRAM_WIDTH=Integer
W=Integer                     Explicitly sets the Histogram width, overriding automatic truncation of Histogram tail.
                              Also, when calculating mean and standard deviation, only bins <= Histogram_WIDTH will be
                              included.  Default value: not set.

MINIMUM_PCT=Float
M=Float                       When generating the Histogram, discard any data categories (out of FR, TANDEM, RF) that
                              have fewer than this percentage of overall reads. (Range: 0 to 1).  Default value: 0.05.

METRIC_ACCUMULATION_LEVEL=MetricAccumulationLevel
LEVEL=MetricAccumulationLevel The level(s) at which to accumulate metrics.    Possible values: {ALL_READS, SAMPLE,
                              LIBRARY, READ_GROUP} This option may be specified 0 or more times.

ASSUME_SORTED=Boolean
AS=Boolean                    If true (default), then the sort order in the header file will be ignored.  Default
                              value: true. This option can be set to 'null' to clear the default value. Possible
                              values: {true, false}
