SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the guesswork from running nf-core/demultiplex by turning a complex sequencing workflow into a validated, reproducible run plan with the right inputs, flags, and release-specific guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validated Pipeline Execution: Guides correct use of required parameters, supported values, and release-pinned pipeline versions.
  • Samplesheet-Driven Runs: Helps prepare and run Illumina demultiplexing jobs from a structured samplesheet and optional flowcell details.
  • Operational Clarity: Surfaces outputs, tools, provenance, and parameter constraints so users can launch runs without consulting external docs.
  • Use Case: A bioinformatics analyst can use this Skill to launch a demultiplexing run for a new sequencing batch while avoiding invalid flags or mismatched pipeline versions.

Quick Start

Use the demultiplex skill to run nf-core/demultiplex on your samplesheet with the correct release, required parameters, and output directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run nf-core demultiplex on an Illumina sequencing samplesheet?

You run nf-core demultiplex by submitting a structured Illumina sequencing samplesheet and optional flowcell details to generate a validated, provenance-safe Nextflow execution plan with correct parameters and output directories.

What is demultiplexing in Nextflow and when do I need it?

Demultiplexing in Nextflow separates pooled Illumina sequencing reads into individual samples based on barcode indices. You need it when processing raw sequencing data from a shared flowcell before downstream bioinformatics analysis.

Does the nf-core demultiplex pipeline enforce parameter validation for Illumina runs?

Yes, the nf-core demultiplex pipeline enforces strict parameter validation, allowed-value enforcement, and release-pinned pipeline versions to ensure provenance-safe command generation for Illumina sequencing runs.

Can I pin a specific nf-core demultiplex release version for reproducible sequencing runs?

Yes, you can pin a specific nf-core demultiplex release version. The pipeline supports release-pinned reruns and pipeline version checks to guarantee reproducible sequencing demultiplexing workflows.

What's the best way to avoid invalid flags when launching nf-core demultiplex?

The best way to avoid invalid flags is to use a validated execution plan that applies strict parameter validation and allowed-value enforcement, surfacing parameter constraints before Nextflow launch.

Why does my nf-core demultiplex run fail with mismatched pipeline versions?

Nf-core demultiplex runs fail with mismatched pipeline versions when release pins are not enforced. Applying release-pinned pipeline version checks ensures compatibility and provenance-safe command generation.
