Parameters

NB: Parameter has been updated if both old and new parameter information is present. NB: Parameter has been added if just the new parameter information is present. NB: Parameter has been removed if parameter information isn’t present.

Software dependencies

Note, since the pipeline is now using Nextflow DSL2, each process will be run with its own Biocontainer. This means that on occasion it is entirely possible for the pipeline to be using different versions of the same tool. However, the overall software dependency changes compared to the last release have been listed below for reference.

NB: Dependency has been updated if both old and new version information is present. NB: Dependency has been added if just the new version information is present. NB: Dependency has been removed if version information isn’t present.

v1.1.0 - 2021-05-11

Major changes

⚠️ Breaking changes!

This release contains several major (potentially breaking) changes:

• The main input parameter has been changed from --reads to --input to standardize the pipeline with other nf-core pipelines
• All parameter documentation has moved into a new nextflow_schema.json file
• A lib folder with groovy helper classes has been added to the pipeline. This includes validation of input parameters using the schema defined in the nextflow_schema.json file

General improvements

• remove spaces in genome headers and replace special nt by N in hairpin file for mirdeep2 to work. [#69]
• Accept custom genome and remove non-canonical letters in the genome. Thanks to @sdjebali. Follow up from [#63]
• Fix error when only one sample is in the input [#31]
• Made CamelCase pipeline parameters snake_case and lower case
  • clip_R1 -> clip_r1
  • three_prime_clip_R1 -> three_prime_clip_r1
  • saveReference -> save_reference
  • skipQC -> skip_qc
  • skipFastqc -> skip_fastqc
  • skipMultiqc -> skip_multiqc
• Update with the latest TEMPLATE version for nf-core 1.12.1
• Update conda environment with new packages and updates
• Added --protocol custom to allow custom adapter trimming modes [#41]]
• Fix error when UMI is on the reads header: [#35]
• Updated params.mirtrace_species to be properly initialised when using --genome, for all iGenomes species
• Made params.mature and params.hairpin default to miRBase FTP URL so that the file is automatically downloaded if not provided
• Allow .fa or .fa.gz files for mature and hairpin FASTA files.
• Add full-size benchmark / test dataset to run on AWS for each release (see test_full.config)
• Add -f flag to gunzip commands to deal with soft-links
• Add --mirtrace_protocol parameter to allow for more flexible selection of this parameter
• Added --trim_galore_max_length option [#77]
• Solved memory usage issue for mirtrace in the main process and in the get_software_versions process [#68]
