v1.2.0 - Pyrenean Mountain Dog

[1.2.0] - Pyrenean Mountain Dog - [2024-05-01]

Enhancements & fixes

• Updated the MerquryFK resources to cope with mistletoe (the pipeline as a
  whole is not yet fully compatible with mistletoe, though).
• Updated the Busco resources to better deal with large genomes.
• Round the chromosome lengths to 2 decimal points.
• The pipeline is now publishing the Busco output directories.
• The pipeline now generates a contact map for each Hi-C sample (instead of
  randomly picking one) and reports them all in the CSV.
• The Hi-C contact map is now ordered according to the karyotype (as defined in
  the assembly record) by default, and added the --cool_order option to
  override it.

Software dependencies

Note, since the pipeline is using Nextflow DSL2, each process will be run with its own Biocontainer. This means that on occasion it is entirely possible for the pipeline to be using different versions of the same tool. However, the overall software dependency changes compared to the last release have been listed below for reference.

Dependency	Old version	New version
busco	5.4.3	5.5.0

NB: Dependency has been updated if both old and new version information is present.
NB: Dependency has been added if just the new version information is present.
NB: Dependency has been removed if version information isn't present.

Parameters

Old parameter	New parameter
	--cool_order

v1.1.2 – Golden Retriever (patch 2)

[1.1.2] [2024-04-29]

Enhancements & fixes

• Bugfix: the BAM still needs to be filtered with -F0x400

v1.1.1 – Golden Retriever (patch 1)

[1.1.1] [2024-02-26]

Enhancements & fixes

• Stopped forcing the eutheria_odb10 BUSCO lineage to be used for all mammals.
  This to synchronise this pipeline with the BlobToolKit pipeline.

v1.1.0 - Golden Retriever

[1.1.0] - Golden Retriever - [2024-01-04]

Enhancements & fixes

• The pipeline now queries the NCBI Taxonomy API rather than GoaT to establish the list of lineages on which to run BUSCO. The possible lineages are now defined in the pipeline configuration but can be overridden with the --lineage_tax_ids parameter.
• The pipeline will now immediately fail if the assembly can't be retrieve by the datasets command-line tool.
• Pipeline information is now outputted in pipeline_info/genomenote/ instead of genomenote_info/.
• maxRetries increased to 5 to cope with large datasets.
• BUSCO now runs in "scratch" mode, i.e. off a temporary directory, as the number of files it creates could otherwise overwhelm a network filesystem.
• SORT, FASTK, and MERQURYFK, can now put their temporary files in the work directory rather than /tmp. Turn that on with the --use_work_dir_as_temp flag.
• The memory requirement of SORT is adjusted to account for some overheads and avoid the job to be killed.
• All resource requirements (memory, time, CPUs) now fit the actual usage. This is achieved by automatically adjusting to the size of the input whenever possible.
• Genomes with sequences longer than 2 Gbp are now supported thanks to upgrading FastK and MerquryFK.
• Fixed a bug that was causing the Completeness to be reported as 0 in the statistics CSV file, when the k-mer database was constructed from BAM files.
• Minimal version of Nextflow downgraded to 23.04 to 22.10. 22.10 is tested as part of our continuous integration (CI) pipeline.
• The "test" profile now runs faster, thanks to tuning some Busco/Metaeuk parameters.
• The "test_full" profile is now tested automatically when updating the dev and main branches.
