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

Species name.

required
type: string
pattern: ([a-zA-Z]+)[_ ]([a-zA-Z]+)

e.g. --species 'Arabidopsis thaliana' or --species 'homo_sapiens'

The output directory where the results will be saved. You have to use absolute paths to storage on Cloud infrastructure.

required
type: string

Email address for completion summary.

type: string
pattern: ^([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.

Options for local count datasets to analyze.

Path to comma-separated file containing information about the input count datasets and their related experimental design.

type: string
pattern: ^\S+\.csv$

You will need to create a design file with information about the samples in your experiment before running the pipeline. Use this parameter to specify its location. It has to be a comma-separated file with 3 columns, and a header row. See usage docs.

Options for fetching datasets from Expression Atlas.

Fetch count datasets and experimental designs from Expression Atlas for this species.

type: boolean

If you want to fetch count data for this species from Expression Atlas, set this parameter to true. You do not need to set this parameter if you provide Expression Atlas keywords with --eatlas_keywords.

Keywords (separated by commas) to use when retrieving specific experiments from Expression Atlas.

type: string
pattern: ([a-zA-Z,]+)

e.g. --eatlas_keywords 'stress,flowering'

Expression Atlas accession(s), separated by commas.

type: string
pattern: ([A-Z0-9-]+,?)+

e.g. --eatlas_accessions 'E-MTAB-552,E-GEOD-61690'

Options for normalizing datasets.

Tool to use for normalization.

type: string

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

Git commit id for Institutional configs.

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
pattern: ^\d+(\.\d+)?\.?\s*(K|M|G|T)?B$

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
pattern: ^(\d+\.?\s*(s|m|h|d|day)\s*)+$

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
pattern: ^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)\.([a-zA-Z]{2,5})$

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

Do not use coloured log outputs.

hidden
type: boolean

Incoming hook URL for messaging service

hidden
type: string

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

Base URL or local path to location of pipeline test dataset files
