You can also check the .nextflow.log file for details on what is going on.

Case 2:

...

Run RNA-seq

...

QC check

Preparing a ‘samplesheet.csv’ file

...

Prepare the following ‘launch_QC.pbs’ script:

Code Block

#!/bin/bash -l
#PBS -N nfrnaseq_QC
#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=2:mem=4gb
#PBS -l walltime=24:00:00

#work on current directory (folder)
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

#load java and set up memory settings to run nextflow
module load java
NXF_OPTS='-Xms1g -Xmx4g'

nextflow run nf-core/rnaseq \
      -profile singularity \
      -r 3.12.0 \
      --input samplesheet.csv \
      --outdir results \
      --genome GRCh38 \
      --skip_trimming \
      --skip_alignment \
      --skip_pseudo_alignment

Submitting the job

Once you have created the folder for the run, the samplesheet.csv file, nextflow.config, and launch.pbs, you are ready to submit.

Submit the run with this command (On Lyra)

Code Block
qsub launch.pbs

Monitoring the Run

You can use the command

Code Block
qstat -u $USER

Alternatively, use the command

Code Block
qjobs

to check on the jobs, you are running. Nextflow will launch additional jobs during the run.
