Filter with counts

Filter scRNA-seq data based on the primary QC metrics.

Info

ID: filter_with_counts
Namespace: filter

Links

Source

This is based on both the UMI counts, the gene counts and the mitochondrial genes (genes starting with mt/MT)

Example commands

You can run the pipeline using nextflow run.

View help

You can use --help as a parameter to get an overview of the possible parameters.

nextflow run openpipelines-bio/openpipeline \
  -r 1.0.1 -latest \
  -main-script target/nextflow/filter/filter_with_counts/main.nf \
  --help

nextflow run openpipelines-bio/openpipeline \
  -r 1.0.1 -latest \
  -profile docker \

  -params-file params.yaml

Note

Replace -profile docker with -profile podman or -profile singularity depending on the desired backend.
