Define where the pipeline should find input data and save output data.

Path to comma-separated file containing information about the samples in the experiment.

required

Email address for completion summary.

type: string

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.

hidden
type: string
default: master

Base directory for Institutional configs.

hidden
type: string
default: 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 this parameter.

Institutional config name.

hidden
type: string

Institutional config description.

hidden
type: string

Institutional config contact information.

hidden
type: string

Institutional config URL link.

hidden
type: string

Set the top limit for requested resources for any single job.

Maximum number of CPUs that can be requested for any single job.

hidden
type: integer
default: 16

Use to set an upper-limit for the CPU requirement for each process. Should be an integer e.g. --max_cpus 1

Maximum amount of memory that can be requested for any single job.

hidden
type: string
default: 128.GB

Use to set an upper-limit for the memory requirement for each process. Should be a string in the format integer-unit e.g. --max_memory '8.GB'

Maximum amount of time that can be requested for any single job.

hidden
type: string
default: 240.h

Use to set an upper-limit for the time requirement for each process. Should be a string in the format integer-unit e.g. --max_time '2.h'

Less common options for the pipeline, typically set in a config file.

Display help text.

hidden
type: boolean

Display version and exit.

hidden
type: boolean

Method used to save pipeline results to output directory.

hidden
type: string

The Nextflow publishDir option specifies which intermediate files should be saved to the output directory. This option tells the pipeline what method should be used to move these files. See Nextflow docs for details.

Email address for completion summary, only when pipeline fails.

hidden
type: string

An email address to send a summary email to when the pipeline is completed - ONLY sent if the pipeline does not exit successfully.

Send plain-text email instead of HTML.

hidden
type: boolean

File size limit when attaching MultiQC reports to summary emails.

hidden
type: string
default: 25.MB

Do not use coloured log outputs.

hidden
type: boolean

hidden
type: string

Incoming hook URL for messaging service. Currently, MS Teams and Slack are supported.

Custom config file to supply to MultiQC.

hidden
type: string

Custom MultiQC yaml file containing HTML including a methods description.

type: string

Boolean whether to validate parameters against the schema at runtime

hidden
type: boolean
default: true

Show all params when using --help

hidden
type: boolean

By default, parameters set as hidden in the schema are not shown on the command line when a user runs with --help. Specifying this option will tell the pipeline to show all parameters.
