2.2.1
). The latest
stable release is
2.3.1
.
Define where the pipeline should find input data and save output data.
Path to comma-separated file containing information about the samples in the experiment.
string
^\S+\.csv$
You will need to create a design file with information about the samples in your experiment before running the pipeline. Use this parameter to specify its location. It has to be a comma-separated file with 3 columns, and a header row. See usage docs.
The output directory where the results will be saved. You have to use absolute paths to storage on Cloud infrastructure.
string
Email address for completion summary.
string
^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)\.([a-zA-Z]{2,5})$
Set this parameter to your e-mail address to get a summary e-mail with details of the run sent to you when the workflow exits. If set in your user config file (~/.nextflow/config
) then you don't need to specify this on the command line for every run.
MultiQC report title. Printed as page header, used for filename if not otherwise specified.
string
Options for the genome and proteome reference.
Specifies the human reference genome version.
string
This defines against which human reference genome the pipeline performs the analysis including the incorporation of genetic variants e.g..
Specifies the reference proteome.
string
Specifies the reference proteome files that are used for self-filtering. Should be either a folder of FASTA files or a single FASTA file containing the reference proteome(s).
Reference genome related files and options required for the workflow.
Do not load the iGenomes reference config.
boolean
Do not load igenomes.config
when running the pipeline. You may choose this option if you observe clashes between custom parameters and those supplied in igenomes.config
.
Options for the peptide prediction step.
Filter against human proteome.
boolean
Specifies that peptides should be filtered against the specified human proteome references.
Specifies the maximum peptide length.
integer
11
Specifies the maximum peptide length (not applied when --peptides
is specified). Default: MHC class I: 11 aa, MHC class II: 16 aa
Specifies the minimum peptide length.
integer
8
Specifies the minimum peptide length (not applied when --peptides
is specified). Default: MCH class I: 8 aa, MHC class II: 15 aa
Specifies the maximum peptide length for MHC class II peptides.
integer
16
Specifies the minimum peptide length for MHC class II peptides.
integer
15
Specifies the prediction tool(s) to use.
string
syfpeithi
Specifies the tool(s) to use. Multiple tools can be combined in a list separated by comma.
Available are: syfpeithi
, mhcflurry
, mhcnuggets-class-1
, mhcnuggets-class-2
,netmhcpan-4.0
,netmhcpan-4.1
,netmhc-4.0
,netmhciipan-4.1
.
Specifies tool-specific binder thresholds in a JSON file. This can be used to override the given default binder threshold values.
string
Default thresholds to determine whether a peptide is considered as a binder are the following: syfpeithi
> 50, mhcflurry
<=500, mhcnuggets-class-1
<= 500, mhcnuggets-class-2
<= 500, netmhc
<= 2, netmhcpan
<= 2, netmhcii
<= 5, netmhciipan
<= 5. Note that the default threshold for NetMHC tools is based on the rank metric. The remaining predictors thresholds are based on affinities. Thresholds can be customized in a JSON file: tool-name:value
Specifies the affinity metric instead of the rank metric used for determining whether a peptide is considered as a binder.
boolean
Switches the prediction metric of netMHC tools from rank to affinity. Default: netmhc
<= 500, netmhcpan
<= 500, netmhcii
<= 500, netmhciipan
<= 500.
Specifies whether wild-type sequences should be predicted.
boolean
Specifies whether wild-type sequences of mutated peptides should be predicted as well.
Specifies that sequences of proteins, affected by provided variants, will be written to a FASTA file.
boolean
Specifies that sequences of proteins that are affected by the provided genomic variants are written to a FASTA
file. The resulting FASTA
file will contain the wild-type and mutated protein sequences.
Writes out supported prediction models.
boolean
Writes out supported models. Does not run any predictions.
Options for optimising the pipeline run execution.
Split VCF file into multiple files by number of variants.
boolean
Number of variants that should be written into one file. Default: number of variants divided by ten
integer
Number of nucleotides between previous and current variant across split.
integer
110000
This can be used to avoid that variants end up in separate splits that fall onto the same transcript and therefore potentially contribute to the same mutated protein.
Specifies the maximum number of peptide chunks.
integer
100
Used in combination with --peptides
or --proteins
. Maximum number of peptide chunks that will be created for parallelisation.
Specifies the minimum number of peptides that should be written into one chunk.
integer
5000
Used in combination with --peptides
or --proteins
: minimum number of peptides that should be written into one chunk.
External MHC binding prediction software that is not shipped with the pipeline.
Specifies the path to the JSON file with meta information on external prediction tools.
string
${projectDir}/assets/external_tools_meta.json

Git commit id for Institutional configs.
string
master
Provide git commit id for custom Institutional configs hosted at nf-core/configs
. This was implemented for reproducibility purposes. Default: master
.
## Download and use config file with following git commit id
--custom_config_version d52db660777c4bf36546ddb188ec530c3ada1b96
Base directory for Institutional configs.
string
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nf-core/configs/master
If you're running offline, nextflow will not be able to fetch the institutional config files from the internet. If you don't need them, then this is not a problem. If you do need them, you should download the files from the repo and tell nextflow where to find them with the custom_config_base
option. For example:
## Download and unzip the config files
cd /path/to/my/configs
wget https://github.com/nf-core/configs/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
## Run the pipeline
cd /path/to/my/data
nextflow run /path/to/pipeline/ --custom_config_base /path/to/my/configs/configs-master/
Note that the nf-core/tools helper package has a
download
command to download all required pipeline files + singularity containers + institutional configs in one go for you, to make this process easier.
