SYNTAX, ORGANISATION AND LAYOUT MAY CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE! A repository for hosting [Nextflow DSL2](https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/dsl2.html) module files containing tool-specific process definitions and their associated documentation. ## Table of contents - [Using existing modules](#using-existing-modules) - [Adding new modules](#adding-new-modules) - [Help](#help) - [Citation](#citation) ## Using existing modules The module files hosted in this repository define a set of processes for software tools such as `fastqc`, `bwa`, `samtools` etc. This allows you to share and add common functionality across multiple pipelines in a modular fashion. We have written a helper command in the `nf-core/tools` package that uses the GitHub API to obtain the relevant information for the module files present in the [`modules/`](modules/) directory of this repository. This includes using `git` commit hashes to track changes for reproducibility purposes, and to download and install all of the relevant module files. 1. Install the latest version of [`nf-core/tools`](https://github.com/nf-core/tools#installation) (`>=2.0`) 2. List the available modules: ```console $ nf-core modules list remote ,--./,-. ___ __ __ __ ___ /,-._.--~\ |\ | |__ __ / ` / \ |__) |__ } { | \| | \__, \__/ | \ |___ \`-._,-`-, `._,._,' nf-core/tools version 2.0 INFO Modules available from nf-core/modules (master): pipeline_modules.py:164 ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ ┃ Module Name ┃ ┡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┩ │ bandage/image │ │ bcftools/consensus │ │ bcftools/filter │ │ bcftools/isec │ ..truncated.. ``` 3. Install the module in your pipeline directory: ```console $ nf-core modules install fastqc ,--./,-. ___ __ __ __ ___ /,-._.--~\ |\ | |__ __ / ` / \ |__) |__ } { | \| | \__, \__/ | \ |___ \`-._,-`-, `._,._,' nf-core/tools version 2.0 INFO Installing fastqc pipeline_modules.py:213 INFO Downloaded 3 files to ./modules/nf-core/modules/fastqc pipeline_modules.py:236 ``` 4. Import the module in your Nextflow script: ```nextflow #!/usr/bin/env nextflow nextflow.enable.dsl = 2 include { FASTQC } from './modules/nf-core/modules/fastqc/main' ``` 5. Remove the module from the pipeline repository if required: ```console $ nf-core modules remove fastqc ,--./,-. ___ __ __ __ ___ /,-._.--~\ |\ | |__ __ / ` / \ |__) |__ } { | \| | \__, \__/ | \ |___ \`-._,-`-, `._,._,' nf-core/tools version 2.0 INFO Removing fastqc pipeline_modules.py:271 INFO Successfully removed fastqc pipeline_modules.py:285 ``` 6. Check that a locally installed nf-core module is up-to-date compared to the one hosted in this repo: ```console $ nf-core modules lint fastqc ,--./,-. ___ __ __ __ ___ /,-._.--~\ |\ | |__ __ / ` / \ |__) |__ } { | \| | \__, \__/ | \ |___ \`-._,-`-, `._,._,' nf-core/tools version 2.0 INFO Linting pipeline: . lint.py:104 INFO Linting module: fastqc lint.py:106 ╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ │ [!] 1 Test Warning │ ╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ ╭──────────────┬───────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────╮ │ Module name │ Test message │ File path │ ├──────────────┼───────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤ │ fastqc │ Local copy of module outdated │ modules/nf-core/modules/fastqc/ │ ╰──────────────┴────────────────────────────── ┴──────────────────────────────────╯ ╭──────────────────────╮ │ LINT RESULTS SUMMARY │ ├──────────────────────┤ │ [✔] 15 Tests Passed │ │ [!] 1 Test Warning │ │ [✗] 0 Test Failed │ ╰──────────────────────╯ ``` ## Adding new modules If you wish to contribute a new module, please see the documentation on the [nf-core website](https://nf-co.re/developers/modules#writing-a-new-module-reference). > Please be kind to our code reviewers and submit one pull request per module :) ## Help For further information or help, don't hesitate to get in touch on [Slack `#modules` channel](https://nfcore.slack.com/channels/modules) (you can join with [this invite](https://nf-co.re/join/slack)). ## Citation If you use the module files in this repository for your analysis please you can cite the `nf-core` publication as follows: > **The nf-core framework for community-curated bioinformatics pipelines.** > > Philip Ewels, Alexander Peltzer, Sven Fillinger, Harshil Patel, Johannes Alneberg, Andreas Wilm, Maxime Ulysse Garcia, Paolo Di Tommaso & Sven Nahnsen. > > _Nat Biotechnol._ 2020 Feb 13. doi: [10.1038/s41587-020-0439-x](https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41587-020-0439-x).
