It pre-processes raw data from FastQ inputs, aligns the reads and performs extensive quality-control on the results. ![nf-core/methylseq metro map](docs/images/3.0.0_metromap.png) The pipeline is built using [Nextflow](https://www.nextflow.io), a workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It uses Docker / Singularity containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible. On release, automated continuous integration tests run the pipeline on a full-sized dataset on the AWS cloud infrastructure. This ensures that the pipeline runs on AWS, has sensible resource allocation defaults set to run on real-world datasets, and permits the persistent storage of results to benchmark between pipeline releases and other analysis sources.The results obtained from the full-sized test can be viewed on the [nf-core website](https://nf-co.re/methylseq/results). > Read more about **Bisulfite Sequencing & Three-Base Aligners** used in this pipeline [here](./docs/bs-seq-primer.md) ## Pipeline Summary The pipeline allows you to choose between running either [Bismark](https://github.com/FelixKrueger/Bismark) or [bwa-meth](https://github.com/brentp/bwa-meth) / [MethylDackel](https://github.com/dpryan79/methyldackel). Choose between workflows by using `--aligner bismark` (default, uses bowtie2 for alignment), `--aligner bismark_hisat` or `--aligner bwameth`. For higher performance, the pipeline can leverage the [Parabricks implementation of bwa-meth (fq2bammeth)](https://docs.nvidia.com/clara/parabricks/latest/documentation/tooldocs/man_fq2bam_meth.html), which implements the baseline tool `bwa-meth` in a performant method using fq2bam (BWA-MEM + GATK) as a backend for processing on GPU. To use this option, include the `--use_gpu` flag along with `--aligner bwameth`. | Step | Bismark workflow | bwa-meth workflow | | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ | --------------------- | | Generate Reference Genome Index _(optional)_ | Bismark | bwa-meth | | Merge re-sequenced FastQ files | cat | cat | | Raw data QC | FastQC | FastQC | | Adapter sequence trimming | Trim Galore! | Trim Galore! | | Align Reads | Bismark (bowtie2/hisat2) | bwa-meth | | Deduplicate Alignments | Bismark | Picard MarkDuplicates | | Extract methylation calls | Bismark | MethylDackel | | Sample report | Bismark | - | | Summary Report | Bismark | - | | Alignment QC | Qualimap _(optional)_ | Qualimap _(optional)_ | | Sample complexity | Preseq _(optional)_ | Preseq _(optional)_ | | Project Report | MultiQC | MultiQC | ## Usage > [!NOTE] > If you are new to Nextflow and nf-core, please refer to [this page](https://nf-co.re/docs/usage/installation) on how to set-up Nextflow. Make sure to [test your setup](https://nf-co.re/docs/usage/introduction#how-to-run-a-pipeline) with `-profile test` before running the workflow on actual data. First, prepare a samplesheet with your input data that looks as follows: `samplesheet.csv`: ```csv sample,fastq_1,fastq_2,genome SRR389222_sub1,https://github.com/nf-core/test-datasets/raw/methylseq/testdata/SRR389222_sub1.fastq.gz,, SRR389222_sub2,https://github.com/nf-core/test-datasets/raw/methylseq/testdata/SRR389222_sub2.fastq.gz,, SRR389222_sub3,https://github.com/nf-core/test-datasets/raw/methylseq/testdata/SRR389222_sub3.fastq.gz,, Ecoli_10K_methylated,https://github.com/nf-core/test-datasets/raw/methylseq/testdata/Ecoli_10K_methylated_R1.fastq.gz,https://github.com/nf-core/test-datasets/raw/methylseq/testdata/Ecoli_10K_methylated_R2.fastq.gz, ``` > Each row represents a fastq file (single-end) or a pair of fastq files (paired end). Now, you can run the pipeline using default parameters as: ```bash nextflow run nf-core/methylseq --input samplesheet.csv --outdir --genome GRCh37 -profile ``` > [!WARNING] > Please provide pipeline parameters via the CLI or Nextflow `-params-file` option. Custom config files including those provided by the `-c` Nextflow option can be used to provide any configuration _**except for parameters**_; see [docs](https://nf-co.re/docs/usage/getting_started/configuration#custom-configuration-files). For more details and further functionality, please refer to the [usage documentation](https://nf-co.re/methylseq/usage) and the [parameter documentation](https://nf-co.re/methylseq/parameters). ## Pipeline output To see the results of an example test run with a full size dataset refer to the [results](https://nf-co.re/methylseq/results) tab on the nf-core website pipeline page.
