Output

This document describes the output produced by the pipeline. Most of the plots are taken from the MultiQC report, which summarises results at the end of the pipeline.

Pipeline overview

The pipeline is built using Nextflow and processes data using the following steps:

MultiQC

MultiQC is a visualisation tool that generates a single HTML report summarising all samples in your project. Most of the pipeline QC results are visualised in the report and further statistics are available in within the report data directory.

The pipeline has special steps which allow the software versions used to be reported in the MultiQC output for future traceability.

Output directory: results/multiqc

  • Project_multiqc_report.html
    • MultiQC report - a standalone HTML file that can be viewed in your web browser
  • Project_multiqc_data/
    • Directory containing parsed statistics from the different tools used in the pipeline

For more information about how to use MultiQC reports, see http://multiqc.info

Epitope Prediction

FRED-2 is used to perform the prediction of Epitopes on the given data, independent of the chosen tools to perform the prediction.

Output directory: results/

  • prediction_report.json
    • The predicted epitopes in JSON format for downstream analysis tasks
  • prediction_report.tsv
    • The predicted epitopes in TSV format for further processing.

An example report looks like this in TSV format:
