Define where the pipeline should find input data and save output data.

Path to comma-separated file containing information about the samples in the experiment.

required
type: string
pattern: ^\S+\.csv$

You will need to create a design file with information about the samples in your experiment before running the pipeline. Use this parameter to specify its location. It has to be a comma-separated file with either 2 [BAM] or 3 [FASTQ] columns, and a header row. See usage docs.

Specify input format. Default FASTQ. Options 'FASTQ' or 'BAM'.

Specifies the circular DNA identification algorithm to use - available 'circle_map_realign', 'circle_map_repeats', 'circle_finder', 'circexplorer2', and 'ampliconarchitect'. Multiple circle_identifier's can be specified with a comma-separated string. E.g. --circle_identifier 'circle_map_realign,unicycler'.

Reference genome related files and options required for the workflow.

Name of iGenomes reference.

type: string

If using a reference genome configured in the pipeline using iGenomes, use this parameter to give the ID for the reference. This is then used to build the full paths for all required reference genome files e.g. --genome GRCh38.

See the nf-core website docs for more details.

Path to FASTA genome file.

type: string
pattern: ^\S+\.fn?a(sta)?(\.gz)?$

This parameter is mandatory if --genome is not specified. If you don't have a BWA index available this will be generated for you automatically. Combine with --save_reference to save BWA index for future runs.

Do not load the iGenomes reference config.

hidden
type: boolean

Do not load igenomes.config when running the pipeline. You may choose this option if you observe clashes between custom parameters and those supplied in igenomes.config.

Save the index reference fasta in the results directory.

type: boolean

By default, indexed reference genome files will not be saved to the results directory. Specify this flag (or set to true in your config file) to copy these files to the results directory when complete.

Path to the directory containg the BWA index files.

type: string

This parameter is optional. If you don't have a BWA index available this will be generated for you automatically.

Set this parameter to save bam file with marked duplicate reads.

Options to adjust read trimming criteria.

Instructs Trim Galore to remove bp from the 5' end of read 1 (or single-end reads).

type: integer

Instructs Trim Galore to remove bp from the 5' end of read 2 (paired-end reads only).

type: integer

Instructs Trim Galore to remove bp from the 3' end of read 1 AFTER adapter/quality trimming has been performed.

type: integer

Instructs Trim Galore to remove bp from the 3' end of read 2 AFTER adapter/quality trimming has been performed.

type: integer

Instructs Trim Galore to apply the --nextseq=X option, to trim based on quality after removing poly-G tails.

type: integer

This enables the option Cutadapt --nextseq-trim=3'CUTOFF option via Trim Galore, which will set a quality cutoff (that is normally given with -q instead), but qualities of G bases are ignored. This trimming is in common for the NextSeq- and NovaSeq-platforms, where basecalls without any signal are called as high-quality G bases.

Skip the adapter trimming step.

type: boolean

Use this if your input FastQ files have already been trimmed outside of the workflow or if you're very confident that there is no adapter contamination in your data.

Save the trimmed FastQ files in the results directory.

By default, trimmed FastQ files will not be saved to the results directory. Specify this flag (or set to true in your config file) to copy these files to the results directory when complete.

Save the merged FastQ files in the results directory.

type: boolean

By default, merged FastQ files will not be saved to the results directory. Specify this flag (or set to true in your config file) to copy these files to the results directory when complete.
