Analysis of Chromosome Conformation Capture data (Hi-C)
1.2.2
). The latest
stable release is
2.1.0
.
Define where the pipeline should find input data and save output data.
Input FastQ files.
string
Use this to specify the location of your input FastQ files. For example:
--input 'path/to/data/sample_*_{1,2}.fastq'
Please note the following requirements:
- The path must be enclosed in quotes
- The path must have at least one
*
wildcard character - When using the pipeline with paired end data, the path must use
{1,2}
notation to specify read pairs.
If left unspecified, a default pattern is used: data/*{1,2}.fastq.gz
Input FastQ files for test only
string
undefined
Split the reads into chunks before running the pipelne
boolean
false
Read number per chunks if split_fastq is used
integer
20000000
Specifies that the input is single-end reads.
boolean
By default, the pipeline expects paired-end data. If you have single-end data, you need to specify --single_end
on the command line when you launch the pipeline. A normal glob pattern, enclosed in quotation marks, can then be used for --input
. For example:
--single_end --input '*.fastq'
It is not possible to run a mixture of single-end and paired-end files in one run.
The output directory where the results will be saved.
string
./results
Email address for completion summary.
string
^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)\.([a-zA-Z]{2,5})$
Set this parameter to your e-mail address to get a summary e-mail with details of the run sent to you when the workflow exits. If set in your user config file (~/.nextflow/config
) then you don't need to specify this on the command line for every run.
Options for the reference genome indices used to align reads.
Name of iGenomes reference.
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.
string
If you have no genome reference available, the pipeline can build one using a FASTA file. This requires additional time and resources, so it's better to use a pre-build index if possible.
Directory / URL base for iGenomes references.
string
s3://ngi-igenomes/igenomes/
Do not load the iGenomes reference config.
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
.
Full path to directory containing Bowtie index including base name. i.e. /path/to/index/base
.
string
Full path to file specifying chromosome sizes (tab separated with chromosome name and size)`.
string
If not specified, the pipeline will build this file from the reference genome file
Full path to restriction fragment (bed) file.
string
This file depends on the Hi-C protocols and digestion strategy. If not provided, the pipeline will build it using the --restriction_site option
If generated by the pipeline save the annotation and indexes in the results directory.
boolean
Use this parameter to save all annotations to your results folder. These can then be used for future pipeline runs, reducing processing times.
Parameters for Hi-C data processing
For Hi-C protocols which are not based on enzyme digestion such as DNase Hi-C
boolean
Restriction motifs used during digestion. Several motifs (comma separated) can be provided.
string
'A^AGCTT'
Expected motif after DNA ligation. Several motifs (comma separated) can be provided.
string
'AAGCTAGCTT
Remove duplicates
boolean
true
Remove multi-mapped reads
boolean
true
Remove singleton
boolean
true
Keep aligned reads with a minimum quality value
integer
10
Option for end-to-end bowtie mapping
string
'--very-sensitive -L 30 --score-min L,-0.6,-0.2 --end-to-end --reorder'
Option for trimmed reads mapping
string
'--very-sensitive -L 20 --score-min L,-0.6,-0.2 --end-to-end --reorder'
Save a BAM file where all reads are flagged by their interaction classes
boolean
Save all BAM files during two-steps mapping
boolean
Options to call significant interactions
Minimum distance between loci to consider. Useful for --dnase mode to remove spurious ligation products. Only values > 0 are considered
integer
O
Maximum fragment size to consider. Only values > 0 are considered
integer
0
Minimum fragment size to consider. Only values > 0 are considered
integer
0
Maximum restriction fragment size to consider. Only values > 0 are considered
integer

integer
0
Options to build Hi-C contact maps
Resolution to build the maps (comma separated)
string
'1000000,500000'
Filter low counts rows before normalization
string
0.02
Filter high counts rows before normalization
integer
0
Threshold for ICE convergence
string
0.1
Maximum number of iteraction for ICE normalization
integer
100
Skip some steps of the pipeline
Do not build contact maps
boolean
Do not normalize contact maps
boolean
Do not generate cooler file
boolean
Do not generate MultiQC report
boolean
Less common options for the pipeline, typically set in a config file.
Display help text.
boolean
Method used to save pipeline results to output directory.
string
The Nextflow publishDir
option specifies which intermediate files should be saved to the output directory. This option tells the pipeline what method should be used to move these files. See Nextflow docs for details.
Workflow name.
string
A custom name for the pipeline run. Unlike the core nextflow -name
option with one hyphen this parameter can be reused multiple times, for example if using -resume
. Passed through to steps such as MultiQC and used for things like report filenames and titles.
Email address for completion summary, only when pipeline fails.
string
^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)\.([a-zA-Z]{2,5})$
This works exactly as with --email
, except emails are only sent if the workflow is not successful.
Send plain-text email instead of HTML.
boolean
Set to receive plain-text e-mails instead of HTML formatted.
File size limit when attaching MultiQC reports to summary emails.
string
25.MB
If file generated by pipeline exceeds the threshold, it will not be attached.
Do not use coloured log outputs.
boolean
Set to disable colourful command line output and live life in monochrome.
Custom config file to supply to MultiQC.
string
Directory to keep pipeline Nextflow logs and reports.
string
${params.outdir}/pipeline_info
Set the top limit for requested resources for any single job.
Maximum number of CPUs that can be requested for any single job.
integer
16
Use to set an upper-limit for the CPU requirement for each process. Should be an integer e.g. --max_cpus 1
Maximum amount of memory that can be requested for any single job.
string
128.GB
Use to set an upper-limit for the memory requirement for each process. Should be a string in the format integer-unit e.g. --max_memory '8.GB'
Maximum amount of time that can be requested for any single job.
string
240.h
Use to set an upper-limit for the time requirement for each process. Should be a string in the format integer-unit e.g. --max_time '2.h'
Parameters used to describe centralised config profiles. These should not be edited.
Git commit id for Institutional configs.
string
master
Provide git commit id for custom Institutional configs hosted at nf-core/configs
. This was implemented for reproducibility purposes. Default: master
.
## Download and use config file with following git commit id
--custom_config_version d52db660777c4bf36546ddb188ec530c3ada1b96
Base directory for Institutional configs.
string
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nf-core/configs/master
If you're running offline, nextflow will not be able to fetch the institutional config files from the internet. If you don't need them, then this is not a problem. If you do need them, you should download the files from the repo and tell nextflow where to find them with the custom_config_base
option. For example:
## Download and unzip the config files
cd /path/to/my/configs
wget https://github.com/nf-core/configs/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
## Run the pipeline
cd /path/to/my/data
nextflow run /path/to/pipeline/ --custom_config_base /path/to/my/configs/configs-master/
Note that the nf-core/tools helper package has a
download
command to download all required pipeline files + singularity containers + institutional configs in one go for you, to make this process easier.
Institutional configs hostname.
string
Institutional config description.
string
Institutional config contact information.
string
Institutional config URL link.
