k-florek / workshop

Introduction

k-florek/workshop is a simple bioinformatics pipeline that uses sample data to demonstrate how Nextflow works. The pipeline simply takes some RAW illumina sequencing data and performs a simple quality control check.

1. Read QC (FastQC)
2. Present QC for raw reads (MultiQC)

Usage

Note If you are new to Nextflow and nf-core, please refer to this page on how to set-up Nextflow. Make sure to test your setup with -profile test before running the workflow on actual data.

First, prepare a samplesheet with your input data that looks as follows:

samplesheet.csv:

sample,fastq_1,fastq_2
Sample_01,Sample_01_S1_L002_R1_001.fastq.gz,Sample_01_S1_L002_R2_001.fastq.gz

Each row represents a fastq file (single-end) or a pair of fastq files (paired end).

Now, you can run the pipeline using:

nextflow run k-florek/workshop \
   -profile <docker/singularity/...> \
   --input samplesheet.csv \
   --outdir <OUTDIR>

Warning: Please provide pipeline parameters via the CLI or Nextflow -params-file option. Custom config files including those provided by the -c Nextflow option can be used to provide any configuration except for parameters; see docs.
