Content and Options

The example data holds a toy dataset (reduced read files, 25 target loci) for 4 samples.

You can run the example data to test your system setup either by

  1. following the instructions in the Quick-Start guide which automatically runs the example based on the Nextflow -profile test
  2. following the instructions below by using local data files

Running the Example Locally

To run the example data

  1. follow the nextflow and pipesnake installation instructions in the Quick-Start guide
  2. make sure to change file paths in the ToyData_SampleInfo.csv file to direct to the read files (full paths within your working directory).
  3. run the example analysis with read filtering:
nextflow run pipesnake/ --input pipesnake/example/data/ToyData_SampleInfo.csv --outdir pipesnake/TEST2 --blat_db pipesnake/example/data/ToyData_SqCL_25Targets.fasta --filter pipesnake/example/data/ToyData_SqCL_Filter.fasta -profile [docker/singularity/conda choose accordingly]
  1. or run the example analysis without read filtering:
nextflow run pipesnake/ --input pipesnake/example/data/ToyData_SampleInfo.csv --outdir pipesnake/TEST2 --blat_db pipesnake/example/data/ToyData_SqCL_25Targets.fasta -profile [docker/singularity/conda choose accordingly]

Monitoring Resource Usage

The included example dataset runs on a mid-tier local machine (88 CPU, 94 Gb memory) in <4 minutes.
Once your analysis is done, you can find information on resource usage in the tracing/pipeline_info/ directory of your output directory.
