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. Only Docker or Singularity containers are supported, conda is not supported.
| Dependency | Old version | New version |
|---|---|---|
| Matplotlib | 3.10.6 | |
| Tectonic | 0.15.0 | |
| Pigz | 2.8 | |
| HTSlib | 1.21 | 1.22.1 |
| BCFtools | 1.21 | 1.22 |
NB: Dependency has been updated if both old and new version information is present.
