Pre-requisites

Overview:

  • Create working directory folders for hands-on training exercises

  • Copy data and scripts for today’s session

  • (Optional ) run a test to verify Nextflow is properly installed and to assess the execution of the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline with example data provided by developers.

Prepare Working Directory Space for Session 4

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

qsub -I -S /bin/bash -l walltime=10:00:00 -l select=1:ncpus=2:mem=8gb

  • 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

Let’s create the working directories for today’s session:

mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/scripts
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/data
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/runs
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/runs/run1_QC
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/runs/run2_RNAseq
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/runs/run3_RNAseq_T2T

The folder structure will look like this (do not run the block of code below): 

workshop/
└── 2024-2
    └── session4_RNAseq
        ├── data
        ├── runs
        │   ├── run1_QC
        │   ├── run2_RNAseq
        │   └── run3_RNAseq_T2T
        └── scripts

Get a copy of the scripts

Now let’s copy the scripts necessary for today’s session:

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 working folder

cp /work/training/2024/rnaseq/data/* $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/data/
ls -l $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/scripts

  • 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/

  • Line 2: List the files copied to the ‘script’ folder

(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.

Copy the launch_nf-core_RNAseq_test.pbs to the working directory

cd $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/runs/run1_test
cp $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/scripts/launch_nf-core_RNAseq_test.pbs .

View the content of the script as follows:

cat launch_nf-core_RNAseq_test.pbs

#!/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

Submitting the job

Submit the test job to the HPC cluster as follows:

qsub launch_nf-core_RNAseq_test.pbs
