6.2 Setting up working folders
- Roberto Barrero Gumiel
Pre-requisites
Nextflow installed → If not see: 1. Getting started with Nextflow Ask for help if you need assistance.
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=4gbwhere:
‘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/session6_smallRNAseq
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/scripts
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/scripts/local
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/data
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/data/human_disease
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/data/human_drosha
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/data/mydata
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/runs
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/runs/run1_human_miRBase
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/runs/run2_human_MirGeneDB
mkdir -p $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/runs/run3_drosha_miRBaseThe above code creates the following folder structure:
Get a copy of the scripts
Now let’s copy the scripts necessary for today’s session:
cp /work/training/2024/smallRNAseq/scripts/* $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/scripts
ls -l $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/scripts
cp /work/training/2024/smallRNAseq/scripts/local/* $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/scripts/local
ls -l $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session6_smallRNAseq/scripts/localLine 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/
Line 2: List the files copied to the ‘script’ folder
Line 3: Copies all files from /work/datasets/workshop/scripts/local as noted by an asterisk to the newly created folder $HOME/workshop/2024-2/session4_RNAseq/scripts/local
Line 4: List the files copied to the ‘script’ folder
Copy public data to working folder
Line 1: Copies mouse RNAseq folder to created ~/data/mouse folder
Line 2: List the files copied to the ‘data’ folder
Line 3: Copies human RNAseq folder to created ~/data/human folder
Line 4: List the files copied to the ‘data’ 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.
Create a folder for running the pipeline test:
Line 1: Create folder using the make directory “mkdir” command. We use the flap -p (parental) to create parental folders if not yet created.
Line 2: Move to the newly created folder.
Copy the launch_nf-core_RNAseq_test.pbs from the ‘scripts’ folder to the current folder
View the content of the script as follows:
nextflow command: nextflow run
pipeline name: nf-core/smrnaseq
pipeline version (revision): -r 2.3.1
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:
