Prior running the nf-core/sarek pipeline with real data, we will first run a test with sample data to make sure the pipeline runs properly.

Line 1: The -p indicates create 'parental directories as required. Thus the line 1 command creates both /workshop/ and the subfolder /workshop/scripts/
Line 2: Copies all files from /work/datasets/workshop/scripts/ as noted by an asterisk to the newly created folder $HOME/workshop/scripts/
Create folders for running the nf-core/sarek pipeline

Lines 1-4: create sub-folders for each exercise
Line 5: change the directory to the folder “run1_test”
Line 6: print the current working directory
Exercise 1: Running a test with nf-core sample data
First, let’s assess the execution of the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline by running a test using sample data.

nextflow command: nextflow run
pipeline name: nf-core/sarek
pipeline version: -r 3.3.2
container type and sample data: -profile test,singularity
output directory: --outdir results
Submitting the job
Submit the test job to the HPC cluster as follows:
...
Once the pipeline has finished running - Assess the QC report:
NOTE: To proceed, you need to be on QUT’s WiFi network or signed via VPN.
To browse the working folder in the HPC type in the file finder:
