nf-core/methylseq

Methylation (Bisulfite-Sequencing) Best Practice analysis pipeline, part of the nf-core community..

Build Status Nextflow DOI

install with bioconda Docker Container available

The pipeline uses Nextflow, a bioinformatics workflow tool. It pre-processes raw data from FastQ inputs, aligns the reads and performs extensive quality-control on the results.

The pipeline is built using Nextflow, a workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It comes with docker containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible.

The pipeline allows you to choose between running either Bismark or bwa-meth / MethylDackel. Choose between workflows by using --aligner bismark (default, uses bowtie2 for alignment), --aligner bismark_hisat or --aligner bwameth.

Quick Start

i. Install nextflow

ii. Install one of docker, singularity or conda

iii. Download the pipeline and test it on a minimal dataset with a single command

nextflow run nf-core/methylseq -profile test,<docker/singularity/conda/institute>

Please check nf-core/configs to see if a custom config file to run nf-core pipelines already exists for your Institute. If so, you can simply use -profile institute in your command. This will enable either docker or singularity and set the appropriate execution settings for your local compute environment.

iv. Start running your own analysis!

nextflow run nf-core/methylseq -profile <docker/singularity/conda/institute> --reads '*_R{1,2}.fastq.gz' --genome GRCh37

See usage docs for all of the available options when running the pipeline.
