<p>There is a <a href="https://github.com/broadinstitute/gtex-pipeline/tree/master/rnaseq" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Github report</a> for Broad's pipeline on RNA-Seq. It has a docker build file and WDL scripts.</p>

<p>However, I don't see how any of the WDL script is being used in the docker (Dockerfile). It looks like Broad's docker runs on the standard command-line tools, but not via the WDL language.
How do the Broad bioinformaticians take advantage of the WDL scripts?</p>

There is a [Github report](https://github.com/broadinstitute/gtex-pipeline/tree/master/rnaseq) for Broad's pipeline on RNA-Seq. It has a docker build file and WDL scripts.

However, I don't see how any of the WDL script is being used in the docker (Dockerfile). It looks like Broad's docker runs on the standard command-line tools, but not via the WDL language.
How do the Broad bioinformaticians take advantage of the WDL scripts?

You need to follow the [readme](https://github.com/broadinstitute/gtex-pipeline/blob/master/rnaseq/README.md) of this folder to use the pipeline, there you will find instructions about how to align, mark duplicates, quantificate, and aggregate the results.

If you want to execute the WDL scripts you can follow [this guide](https://software.broadinstitute.org/wdl/documentation/execution.php) using Cromwell. Basically use: `java -jar Cromwell.jar run myWorkflow.wdl --inputs myWorkflow_inputs.json`
