2. Preparing Files

Prepare the Samplesheet

Prepare the assets/samplesheet.csv

A. Create additional sample sheets using the following samplesheet as reference.

sample,platform,fastq_1,fastq_2,lr,bam_file,bedfile
SAMPLE1_PE,illumina,https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nf-core/test-datasets/viralrecon/illumina/amplicon/sample1_R1.fastq.gz,https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nf-core/test-datasets/viralrecon/illumina/amplicon/sample1_R2.fastq.gz,,,https://raw.githubusercontent.com/artic-network/primer-schemes/master/nCoV-2019/V3/nCoV-2019.primer.bed
SAMPLE1_SE,illumina,https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nf-core/test-datasets/viralrecon/illumina/amplicon/sample1_R1.fastq.gz,,,,https://raw.githubusercontent.com/artic-network/primer-schemes/master/nCoV-2019/V3/nCoV-2019.primer.bed
Column Description
sample Custom sample name. This entry will be identical for multiple sequencing libraries/runs from the same sample. Spaces in sample names are automatically converted to underscores (_).
platform Sequencing platform. This entry will determine the type of sequencing used. It is an important entry as the decision to run a set of tools is determined by this entry.
fastq_1 Full path to FastQ file for Illumina short reads 1. File has to be gzipped and have the extension ".fastq.gz" or ".fq.gz".
fastq_2 Full path to FastQ file for Illumina short reads 2. File has to be gzipped and have the extension ".fastq.gz" or ".fq.gz".
lr Full path to FastQ file for ONT long reads. File has to be gzipped and have the extension ".fastq.gz" or ".fq.gz". fast5 files are not expected or accepted
bam_file Full path to BAM file for Ion-torrent short reads. File has to .bam strictly
bedfile Full path to local bed file or rawgithub url. File has to .tsv

B. Currently, Illumina, Ion-torrent and Oxford Nanopore platforms are supported in this pipeline.

D. Keywords: lr - Longreads, bam_file - Only for Ion-torrent platform, platform - sequencing platform.

Prepare the config files

Prepare the configuration files

A. cdc-dev.config: All CDC-users must use the cdc-dev.config to run the pipeline on Rosalind cluster.

B. test.config is prepared with default parameters, update as needed
