Overview:

  • Create working directory folders for hands-on training exercises

  • Copy data and scripts for today’s session

  • (Optional - those that did not attend Session 3) run a test to verify Nextflow is properly installed and to test the execution of the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline with example data provided by developers.

...

Before we start using the HPC, let’s start an interactive session:

Code Block
qsub -I -S /bin/bash -l walltime=10:00:00 -l select=1:ncpus=12:mem=4gb8gb
  • where:

    • ‘walltime’ is amount of time requested to run the interactive session

    • ‘cpus’ number of CPUs to be used by the interactive session

    • ‘mem’ amount of memory assigned to the interactive session

Create working directories

...

Code Block
cp /work/training/2024/rnaseq/scripts/* $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/scripts
  • Line 1: Copies all files from /work/datasets/workshop/scripts/ as noted by an asterisk to the newly created folder $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/scripts/

Copy public data to your $HOME

Code Block
cp /work/training/2024/rnaseq/data/* $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/data/
  • Line 1: Copies all files from /work/datasets/workshop/scripts/ folder as noted by an asterisk to newly created folder $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/data/

mkdir $HOME/workshop/2024/rnaseq/runs/run1_test

cd $HOME/workshop/2024/rnaseq/runs
  • 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

(Optional ): 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 nfrnaseq_test

#PBS -l select=1:ncpus=2:mem=4gb

#PBS -l walltime=24:00:00

 

#work on current directory

cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

 

#load java and set up memory settings to run nextflow

module load java

export NXF_OPTS='-Xms1g -Xmx4g'

 

nextflow run nf-core/rnaseq -r 3.14.0 -profile test,singularity --outdir results

  • nextflow command: nextflow run

  • pipeline name: nf-core/rnaseq

  • pipeline version: -r 3.14.0

  • container type and sample data: -profile test,singularity

  • output directory: --outdir results
