For the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline, the samplesheet has to be a comma-separated file with the following 4 columns:

Column names has to be specified in a header row as shown in the samplesheet example below:

...
Please note that in this example, the same sample (CONTROL_REP1) was sequenced across 3 lanes. The nf-core/sarek pipeline will concatenate the raw reads before performing any downstream analysis.
...
How many samples does it have in total? Tip: Make sure you check whether there are samples with replicates.
How many are single-end and paired-end? Tip: Single end only have 1 fastq.gz file, paired-end have a pair of fastq.gz files (generally
*_R{1,2}_001.fastq.gz).

Find what are the minimal columns required in the samplesheet to run nfcore/ampliseq
| Expand | ||

You will need to go to the usage page of nfcore/ampliseq which can be found at https://nf-co.re/ampliseq/2.911.0/docs/usage#samplesheet-inputusage (make sure you are using the latest version of the pipeline). The input specification section will specify that the samplesheet must minimally contain 2 columns: |
Input folder
Some pipelines like nf-core/ampliseq will let you specify directly the path to the folder that contains your input FASTQ files, as an alternative to using a samplesheet.

--input_folder 'path/to/folder/ontianing/the/data/' |
File names must follow a specific pattern, default is /*_R{1,2}_001.fastq.gz, but this can be adjusted with the --extension parameter.
