GitHub-GTEx Pipeline- how to execute ?

Hello Guys,

I am interested on getting Correlations between genotype and tissue-specific gene expression levels. I am trying to replicate the same analysis pattern which was described in This Paper. I have also came across the following pipeline in gitHub GitHub-GTEx Pipeline, but i am not able to run this pipeline. My knowledge about scripts is less than that of a Beginner and i am a Biologist (Healthcare dept) and this script look too complicated for me to understand, I request you guys to help me (Tutorials) in executing this pipeline i have around 20 .fastq files (paired end). I would love to see the co-relations. Please help.

Thanks a lot for your kind help, Have a great day !!! Dav.

Just a comment - this is a BroadInstitute core pipeline, which means that it is created to be implemented by people with advanced bioinformatics skills. From a quick first look, I see WDL and docker involved - I would not recommend tackling WDL as your first foray into bioinformatics, but I might be mistaken on its target audience. Wait for others' inputs and see how you can take this forward.

The Broad WDL tutorial/docs seem to be written for newcomers with minimal programming experience, so you should be fine trying it out.
