Define where the pipeline should find input data and save output data.
Input raw / mzML files listed in a tsv file (see help for details)
string
Use this to specify a sample sheet table including your input raw or mzml files as well as their metainformation such as SampleID and Condition. For example:

| -----|:------------:| ----------:|------------------------------------------:|
| 1 | MM15_Melanom | A | data/MM15_Melanom_W_1_A_standard.raw |
| 2 | MM15_Melanom | B | data/MM15_Melanom_W_1_B_standard.raw |

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.
Input FASTA protein database
string
If you have no genome reference available, the pipeline can build one using a FASTA file. This requires additional time and resources, so it's better to use a pre-build index if possible.
Set depending on whether variants should be translated to proteins and included into your fasta for database search.
boolean
Set depending on whether own decoy database should be used
boolean
If you want to use your own decoys, you can specify a databaset that includes decoy sequences. However, each database entry should keep the prefix 'DECOY_'.
One should consider though that this option will then prevent to append variants to the database and if not using reversed decoys the subset refinement FDR option will not work.
If one ms level in the raw ms data is not centroided, specify the level here. (eg. 2)
integer

Choose whether the specified ms_level in pick_ms_levels is centroided or not.

For High-Resolution instruments a fragment mass tolerance value of 0.02 is recommended. (See the Comet parameter documentation: eg. 0.02)
Specify the precursor mass tolerance used for the comet database search.
integer
5
For High-Resolution instruments a precursor mass tolerance value of 5ppm is recommended. (eg. 5)
Specify the fragment bin offset used for the comet database search.

Set a maximum retention time shift for the linear rt alignment
integer
300
Specify which fixed modifications should be applied to the database search
string
e.g. 'Carbamidomethyl (C)' (see OpenMS modifications)
Specify which variable modifications should be applied to the database search

Specify the level at which the false discovery rate should be computed.
string
Specify the false discovery rate threshold at which peptide hits should be selected.
number
0.01
Set if MHCquant should be run in SubsetFDR mode
boolean
SubsetFDR makes use of binding predictions applying the tool mhcflurry to subset all PSMs not passing the q-value threshold. If specified the FDR will be refined using Percolator on the subset of predicted binders among all PSMs resulting in an increased identification rate. (Please be aware that this option is only available for MHC class I data of alleles that are supported by mhcflurry)
Affinity threshold (nM) used to define binders for PSM subset selection in the FDR refinement procedure
integer
500

Parameters used to describe centralised config profiles. These should not be edited.
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.
