SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyyaml, requests, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps researchers deploy nf-core bioinformatics pipelines (rnaseq, sarek, atacseq) on local machines or public datasets by streamlining workflow setup, environment validation, and sample-sheet generation to enable reproducible analyses.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end NF-core deployment: orchestrates Nextflow nf-core pipelines (rnaseq, sarek, atacseq) for local sequencing data or GEO/SRA analyses.
  • Integrated workflow steps: performs environment checks, sample-sheet creation, and pipeline execution in a guided, reproducible manner.
  • Flexible data sources: supports both local FASTQ/BAM/CRAM data and public GEO/SRA datasets with auto-detection and user prompts.

Quick Start

Generate a samplesheet for your data and run nf-core with Nextflow to deploy the chosen pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions about nextflow-development

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run nf-core pipelines on local FASTQ files using Nextflow?

The Skill orchestrates nf-core pipeline deployment on local FASTQ files by performing environment checks and generating samplesheets. It uses YAML configuration and Nextflow to execute pipelines like rnaseq, sarek, and atacseq.

Can I download GEO or SRA sequencing data and process it with nf-core?

Yes, you can process GEO or SRA datasets with nf-core. The Skill supports public GEO/SRA downloads with auto-detection, generates the corresponding samplesheet, and runs the Nextflow pipeline directly on the retrieved data.

How do I generate a samplesheet for nf-core rnaseq or atacseq pipelines?

Generating a samplesheet for nf-core rnaseq or atacseq is automated by the Skill. It detects your input data format, whether local FASTQ/BAM/CRAM or GEO/SRA downloads, and creates the samplesheet needed to start pipeline execution.

What do I need to have installed before deploying Nextflow nf-core pipelines?

Before deploying Nextflow nf-core pipelines, you need Nextflow and the necessary environment dependencies. The Skill performs automated environment checks and robust validation to ensure your setup meets the requirements for pipeline execution.

Does this Skill support BAM and CRAM files as input for sarek pipelines?

Yes, the Skill supports BAM and CRAM files as input for sarek pipelines. It auto-detects these local sequencing data formats alongside FASTQ files and integrates them into the generated samplesheet for Nextflow execution.

What happens if my Nextflow environment is missing dependencies for nf-core?

If your Nextflow environment is missing dependencies, the Skill's robust validation and error handling will identify the issue during its automated environment checks. This prevents pipeline execution failures by ensuring all requirements are met first.
