Run SICILIAN alternative splicing analysis pipeline for single-cell RNA-seq data.
nf-core/sicilian is a bioinformatics best-practise analysis pipeline for
The pipeline is built using Nextflow, a workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It comes with docker containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible.
Install nextflow
Install any of Docker
, Singularity
, Podman
, Shifter
or Charliecloud
for full pipeline reproducibility (please only use Conda
as a last resort; see docs)
Download the pipeline and test it on a minimal dataset with a single command:
nextflow run nf-core/sicilian -profile test,<docker/singularity/podman/shifter/charliecloud/conda/institute>
Please check nf-core/configs to see if a custom config file to run nf-core pipelines already exists for your Institute. If so, you can simply use
-profile <institute>
in your command. This will enable eitherdocker
orsingularity
and set the appropriate execution settings for your local compute environment.
Start running your own analysis!
nextflow run nf-core/sicilian -profile <docker/singularity/podman/shifter/charliecloud/conda/institute> --input '*_R{1,2}.fastq.gz' --genome GRCh37
See usage docs for all of the available options when running the pipeline.
By default, the pipeline currently performs the following:
FastQC
)MultiQC
)The nf-core/sicilian pipeline comes with documentation about the pipeline: usage and output.
nf-core/sicilian was originally written by Julia Salzman Lab.
