nf-core/methylarray
Process methylation data from Illumina arrays. Pre-processing, quality checks, confounder check and DMPs (differentially methylated positions) and DMRs (differentially methylated regions). Optionally estimates cell type composition and adjusts data for it.
Introduction
nf-core/methylarray is a bioinformatics pipeline that …
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.
Now, you can run the pipeline using:
nextflow run nf-core/methylarray \
-profile <docker/singularity/.../institute> \
--input samplesheet.csv \
--outdir <OUTDIR>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.
