nf-core/eager

Edit

Introduction

nf-core/eager is a bioinformatics best-practice analysis pipeline for ancient DNA data analysis.

The pipeline uses Nextflow, a bioinformatics workflow tool. It pre-processes raw data from FastQ inputs, aligns the reads and performs extensive quality-control on the results. It comes with docker / singularity containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible.

Pipeline steps

• Create reference genome indices (optional)
  • BWA
  • Samtools Index
  • Sequence Dictionary
• QC with FastQC
• AdapterRemoval for read clipping and merging
• Read mapping with BWA, BWA Mem or CircularMapper
• Samtools sort, index, stats & conversion to BAM
• DeDup or MarkDuplicates read deduplication
• QualiMap BAM QC Checking
• Preseq Library Complexity Estimation
• DamageProfiler damage profiling
• BAM Clipping for UDG+/UDGhalf protocols
• PMDTools damage filtering / assessment

Documentation

The nf-core/eager pipeline comes with documentation about the pipeline, found in the docs/ directory:

1. Installation
2. Pipeline configuration
   • Local installation
   • Adding your own system
3. Running the pipeline
4. Output and how to interpret the results
5. Troubleshooting
