nf-core/magmap
Introduction
nf-core/magmap is a bioinformatics best-practice analysis pipeline for mapping reads to a (large) collections of genomes.
The pipeline is built using Nextflow, a workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It uses Docker/Singularity containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible. The Nextflow DSL2 implementation of this pipeline uses one container per process which makes it much easier to maintain and update software dependencies. Where possible, these processes have been submitted to and installed from nf-core/modules in order to make them available to all nf-core pipelines, and to everyone within the Nextflow community!
On release, automated continuous integration tests run the pipeline on a full-sized dataset on the AWS cloud infrastructure. This ensures that the pipeline runs on AWS, has sensible resource allocation defaults set to run on real-world datasets, and permits the persistent storage of results to benchmark between pipeline releases and other analysis sources.The results obtained from the full-sized test can be viewed on the nf-core website.
Pipeline summary
- Read QC (
FastQC
) - Present QC for raw reads (
MultiQC
) - Quality trimming and adapters removal for raw reads (
Trimm Galore!
) - Filter reads with
BBduk
- Select reference genomes based on k-mer signatures in reads with
SOURMASH
- Quantification of genes identified in selected reference genomes:
- generate index of assembly (
BBmap index
) - Mapping cleaned reads to the assembly for quantification (
BBmap
) - Get raw counts per each gene present in the genomes (
Featurecounts
) -> TSV table with collected featurecounts output
- generate index of assembly (
- Summary statistics table. Collect_stats.R
Usage
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
CONTROL_REP1,AEG588A1_S1_L002_R1_001.fastq.gz,AEG588A1_S1_L002_R2_001.fastq.gz
CONTROL_REP2,AEG588A1_S2_L002_R1_001.fastq.gz,AEG588A1_S2_L002_R2_001.fastq.gz
Each row represents a fastq file (single-end) or a pair of fastq files (paired end).
And, if you want to map to a set of your own genomes, a genome information file looking like this:
genomeinfo.csv
:
accno,genome_fna,genome_gff
genome1,path/to/fna.gz,path/to/gff.gz
genome2,path/to/fna.gz,path/to/gff.gz
genome3,path/to/fna.gz,path/to/gff.gz
Each row represents a genome file with or without the paired gff
Now, you can run the pipeline using:
nextflow run nf-core/magmap --input samplesheet.csv --genomeinfo genomeinfo.csv --outdir <OUTDIR> -profile <docker/singularity/podman/shifter/charliecloud/conda/institute>
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.
For more details and further functionality, please refer to the usage documentation and the parameter documentation.
Pipeline output
To see the results of an example test run with a full size dataset refer to the results tab on the nf-core website pipeline page. For more details about the output files and reports, please refer to the output documentation.
