SRA Demo

A demo workflow showing download, extraction, and compression of sequences from SRA.

This branch is intended to be used with the Docker profile.

A directory is mounted as the container's /tmp directory. You can significantly improve the performance of fasterq-dump if the mounted directory (provided as params.scratch_space) is either on an SSD or even better an in-memory tmpfs.

The workflow generates an execution timeline giving a rough idea of the performance. You can find a sample execution timeline report in info/execution_timeline.html.

Usage

  1. Set up nextflow as described here.
  2. If you didn't run this pipeline in a while, possibly update nextflow itself.
    nextflow self-update
    
  3. Then run the pipeline.
    nextflow run main.nf -profile docker --scratch_space=/your/own/path
