This is a test.
The pipeline is built using Nextflow, a workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It comes with docker containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible.
i. Install nextflow
ii. Install either Docker
or Singularity
for full pipeline reproducibility (please only use Conda
as a last resort; see docs)
iii. Download the pipeline and test it on a minimal dataset with a single command
nextflow run nf-core/testworkflow -profile test,<docker/singularity/conda/institute>
Please check nf-core/configs to see if a custom config file to run nf-core pipelines already exists for your Institute. If so, you can simply use
-profile <institute>
in your command. This will enable eitherdocker
orsingularity
and set the appropriate execution settings for your local compute environment.
iv. Start running your own analysis!
nextflow run nf-core/testworkflow -profile <docker/singularity/conda/institute> --reads '*_R{1,2}.fastq.gz' --genome GRCh37
See usage docs for all of the available options when running the pipeline.
The nf-core/testworkflow pipeline comes with documentation about the pipeline, found in the docs/
directory:
- Installation
- Pipeline configuration
- Running the pipeline
- Output and how to interpret the results
- Troubleshooting
nf-core/testworkflow was originally written by Ernesto Lowy.
