2020-05-04: This repository is now integrated into the EBI repository of the VIRify pipeline and will not be further maintained in this spot.

VIRify

Sankey plot

A nextflow implementation of the EBI VIRify pipeline for the detection of viruses from metagenomic assemblies. This implementation is heavily based on scripts and work by Guillermo Rangel-Pineros and the EBI Sequence Families Team.

What do I need?

This pipeline runs with the workflow manager Nextflow using Docker (Conda will be implemented soonish, hopefully). All other programs and databases are automatically downloaded by Nextflow. Attention, the workflow will download databases with a size of roughly 27 GB the first time it is executed.

Install Nextflow

curl -s https://get.nextflow.io | bash

Install Docker

If you dont have experience with bioinformatic tools and their installation just copy the commands into your terminal to set everything up:

sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER

Basic execution

Simply clone this repository or get or update the workflow via Nextflow:

nextflow pull hoelzer/virify

Get help:

nextflow run hoelzer/virify --help

Run annotation for a small assembly file (takes approximately 30min + time for database download; ~27 GB):

nextflow run hoelzer/virify --fasta '~/.nextflow/assets/hoelzer/virify/example_data/assembly.fasta'

Profiles

Per default the workflow is run with Docker-support. When you execute the workflow on a HPC you can switch to

  • SLURM (-profile slurm)
  • LSF (-profile lsf) and then you should also define the parameters
  • --workdir (here your work directories will be save)
  • --databases (here your databases will be saved and the workflow checks if they are already available)
  • --cachedir (here Docker/Singularity containers will be cached)

The -profile conda is not working at the moment. Sorry. Use Docker. Please.
