Set-up

To configure your environment for use of MuTect, run the following command: module load mutect. The default version will be loaded. To select a particular MuTect version, use module load mutect/version. For example, use module load mutect/1.1.4 to load MuTect 1.1.4.
 
NOTE: Java 1.7.0 will also need to be loaded in order to use MuTect: module load java/1.7.0.

Usage

This software is a Java executable .jar file; thus, it is not possible to add to the PATH environment variable.

From module load mutect, a new environment variable, MUTECT, will be set.

Thus, users can use the software by running the following command: java -jar $MUTECT {other options}.
