RNAseq-NF pipeline
A basic pipeline for quantification of genomic features from short read data implemented with Nextflow.
Requirements
- Unix-like operating system (Linux, macOS, etc)
- Java 8
Quickstart
-
If you don't have it already install Docker in your computer. Read more here.
-
Install Nextflow (version 20.07.x or higher):
curl -s https://get.nextflow.io | bash -
Launch the pipeline execution:
./nextflow run nextflow-io/rnaseq-nf -with-docker -
When the execution completes open in your browser the report generated at the following path:
results/multiqc_report.html
You can see an example report at the following link.
Note: the very first time you execute it, it will take a few minutes to download the pipeline from this GitHub repository and the associated Docker images needed to execute the pipeline.
Cluster support
RNASeq-NF execution relies on Nextflow framework which provides an abstraction between the pipeline functional logic and the underlying processing system.
This allows the execution of the pipeline in a single computer or in a HPC cluster without modifying it.
Currently the following resource manager platforms are supported:
- Univa Grid Engine (UGE)
- Platform LSF
- SLURM
- PBS/Torque
By default the pipeline is parallelized by spawning multiple threads in the machine where the script is launched.
To submit the execution to a UGE cluster create a file named nextflow.config in the directory
where the pipeline is going to be executed with the following content:
process {
executor='uge'
queue='<queue name>'
}
To lean more about the avaible settings and the configuration file read the Nextflow documentation.
