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.

...

Code Block
qsub -I -S /bin/bash -l walltime=10:00:00 -l select=1:ncpus=1:mem=4gb

You should be in your home directory, if unsure you can run the following command:

Code Block
cd ~

List the existing files and folders:

Code Block
ls -l

Let’s create a folder for the workshop

Code Block
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/sarek

Get a copy of the scripts to be used in this module

Use the terminal to log into the HPC and Now let’s create a /RNAseq/ folder to run the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline. For example‘scripts’ folder and copy all scripts that we will using in the session:

Code Block
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/sarek/scripts
cp /work/training/sarek/scripts/* $HOME/workshop/sarek/scripts/
ls -l $HOME/workshop/sarek/scripts/
  • Line 1: The -p indicates create 'parental directories as required. Thus the line 1 command creates both /workshop/ and the subfolder /workshop/sarek/scripts/

  • Line 2: Copies all files from /work/datasets/workshop/scripts/ as noted by an asterisk to the newly created folder $HOME/workshop/sarek/scripts/

Create folders for running the nf-core/sarek pipeline

Let’s create an “RNAseq” folder to run the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline and move into it. For example:

Code Block
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/sarek
mkdir $HOME/workshop/sarek/run1_test
mkdir $HOME/workshop/sarek/run2_trio
mkdir $HOME/workshop/sarek/run3_liver
cd $HOME/workshop/sarek
  • Lines 1-43: create sub-folders for each exercise

  • Line 54: 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.

...

#!/bin/bash -l

#PBS -N nfsarek_run1_test

#PBS -l walltime=48:00:00

#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=1:mem=5gb

cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

NXF_OPTS='-Xms1g -Xmx4g'

module load java

#specify the nextflow version to use to run the workflow

export NXF_VER=23.10.1

#run the sarek pipeline

nextflow run nf-core/sarek \

        -r 3.3.2 \

        -profile test,singularity \

        --outdir ./results

  • 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:
