nf-core/methylseq
Methylation (Bisulfite-Sequencing) analysis pipeline using Bismark or bwa-meth + MethylDackel
1.2
). The latest
stable release is
2.7.1
.
Introduction
nf-core/methylseq is a bioinformatics best-practice analysis pipeline used for Methylation (BS-Seq) data analysis.
The pipeline uses Nextflow, a bioinformatics workflow tool. It pre-processes raw data from FastQ inputs, aligns the reads and performs extensive quality-control on the results.
Pipeline Steps
The pipeline allows you to choose between running either Bismark or bwa-meth / MethylDackel.
Choose between workflows by using --aligner bismark
(default) or --aligner bwameth
.
