SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns the complex nf-core rnaseq pipeline into a guided, reliable workflow for RNA sequencing analysis, reducing guesswork around inputs, flags, and release-specific behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Runs the pinned nf-core rnaseq release with discovery-ready documentation for inputs, required parameters, optional controls, and outputs.
  • Supports common RNA-seq scenarios including FASTQ-based analysis, pre-aligned BAM inputs, trimming, alignment or pseudoalignment, QC, quantification, contamination screening, and UMI handling.
  • Helps users avoid invalid parameter combinations by surfacing schema-backed constraints, allowed values, and version-aware pipeline details.
  • Useful for researchers and bioinformatics teams who need reproducible transcriptomics analysis with clear run instructions and standardized provenance.

Quick Start

Ask the Skill to run an nf-core rnaseq analysis for your samplesheet and output directory, then it will guide the correct parameters for the selected pipeline version.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an nf-core RNA-seq pipeline with a samplesheet and FASTQ inputs?

To run nf-core RNA-seq analysis, provide a valid CSV samplesheet and an output directory. The workflow validates parameters against the pinned pipeline release and nf-schema constraints to process FASTQ inputs for alignment, quantification, and QC.

Can I use pre-aligned BAM files instead of FASTQ for RNA-seq analysis?

Yes, RNA-seq analysis supports pre-aligned BAM inputs alongside standard FASTQ files. The workflow accommodates both input types within the samplesheet-driven experiment structure, applying appropriate downstream processing for each scenario.

What RNA-seq analysis scenarios are supported by the nf-core pipeline?

The RNA-seq workflow supports alignment, pseudoalignment, trimming, quality control, quantification, contamination screening, and UMI handling scenarios. Parameter combinations are validated against schema-backed constraints to ensure valid run configurations.

How does parameter validation work for nf-core rnaseq workflow runs?

Parameter validation checks inputs against the pinned pipeline release and full nf-schema constraints. This surfaces schema-backed restrictions and allowed values, preventing invalid parameter combinations before executing the RNA-seq analysis.

Do I need Nextflow installed to run the nf-core rnaseq workflow?

The nf-core rnaseq workflow generates and runs Nextflow pipelines, requiring a valid CSV samplesheet and output directory. It guides correct parameter selection for the pinned pipeline version to ensure reproducible transcriptomics analysis.

Why does my RNA-seq pipeline fail with invalid parameter combinations?

Invalid parameter combinations fail because the workflow enforces schema-backed constraints and allowed values from the pinned nf-core rnaseq release. The guided validation surfaces these restrictions to prevent misconfigured runs before execution.
