Sex determination Option
Issue by @apeltzer, moved from SciLifeLab#688
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If you don#t know the sex of an individual, one could run simple scripts to perform sex determination. This is commonly done in population genetics and there are quite a bunch of scripts to perform that automatically, more or less checking chrX/chrY ratios with thresholds.
Describe the solution you'd like
Having an optional step may be to run sex determination, as we do have cases where we don't have the information....
It is also very useful as a control when running multiple clinical samples. We can cross the expected sex for the sample with the sex determination done to detect possible errors in sample handling / processing.
@apeltzer suggested to look at peddy or Sex.DetERRmine which are both already available in MultiQC.
