A repository for hosting Nextflow DSL2 module files containing tool-specific process definitions and their associated documentation.

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/ 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 (>=2.0)

  2. List the available modules:

    $ nf-core modules list remote
    
                                          ,--./,-.
          ___     __   __   __   ___     /,-._.--~\
    |\ | |__  __ /  ` /  \ |__) |__         }  {
    | \| |       \__, \__/ |  \ |___     \`-._,-`-,
                                          `._,._,'
    
    nf-core/tools version 2.0
    
    INFO     Modules available from nf-core/modules (master):                       pipeline_modules.py:164

  3. Install the module in your pipeline directory:

    $ 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:

    #!/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:

    $ 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:

    $ nf-core modules lint fastqc
    
                                          ,--./,-.
          ___     __   __   __   ___     /,-._.--~\
    |\ | |__  __ /  ` /  \ |__) |__         }  {
    | \| |       \__, \__/ |  \ |___     \`-._,-`-,
                                          `._,._,'
    
    nf-core/tools version 2.0
    
    INFO     Linting pipeline: .                                                    lint.py:104
    INFO     Linting module: fastqc                                                 lint.py:106

<!--- ### Offline usage If you want to use an existing module file available in `nf-core/modules`, and you're running on a system that has no internet connection, you'll need to download the repository (e.g. `git clone https://github.com/nf-core/modules.git`) and place it in a location that is visible to the file system on which you are running the pipeline. Then run the pipeline by creating a custom config file called e.g. `custom_module.conf` containing the following information: ```bash include /path/to/downloaded/modules/directory/ ``` Then you can run the pipeline by directly passing the additional config file with the `-c` parameter: ```bash nextflow run /path/to/pipeline/ -c /path/to/custom_module.conf ``` > Note that the nf-core/tools helper package has a `download` command to download all required pipeline > files + singularity containers + institutional configs + modules in one go for you, to make this process easier. # New test data created for the module- sequenzautils/bam2seqz The new test data is an output from another module- sequenzautils/bcwiggle- (which uses sarscov2 genome fasta file as an input). -->
