This package contains a LARVA Docker image that can be imported into a local Docker installation. Use of this image requires the installation of Docker from www.docker.com (follow the instructions under the Get Started link)

Once Docker is installed and opened, the LARVA Docker image can be loaded with the following command:

docker load -i larva_docker_image.tar

NOTE: Depending on your system privilege level, you may need to prefix this command with "sudo".

This package also contains a "larva-docker.sh" script, which allows one to run the Docker version of LARVA with local files. This script is used as follows:

larva-docker.sh -vf [variant file] -af [annotation file] -o [output file]

Where:
[variant file] is the path to the single nucleotide variants to use as input in BED format
[annotation file] is the path to the file that contains the list of annotations to intersect with the variants in BED format
[output file] is the path for LARVA's output
