This project focuses on initiating [nf-core/dragen], a nf-core pipeline for processing illumina UMI based sequencing data.

The Boston hackathon is a great opportunity to initiate the pipeline.

Goal

By the end of the hackathon, we want to have modules of demultiplex, mergelane, and alignment ready.

Planned tasks

  • Add modules for demultiplex
  • Add modules for merging lanes of data from illumina sequencing data.
  • Add modules for alignement.
  • Integrate all steps into a pipeline.
  • Add documentation and usage examples.

Who should join?

This project is a good fit for people interested in:

  • working on a simple Nextflow pipeline for large omics data processing
  • developing pipelines to process illumina input files

Participants will benefit from:

  • Basic familiarity with Git and GitHub
  • Some exposure to Nextflow or nf-core
Dragen pipeline includes three modules demultiplex, mergelane, and alignment
