BD Rhapsody

A wrapper for the BD Rhapsody Analysis CWL v1.10.1 pipeline

Info

ID: bd_rhapsody
Namespace: mapping

A wrapper for the BD Rhapsody Analysis CWL v1.10.1 pipeline.

The CWL pipeline file is obtained by cloning ‘https://bitbucket.org/CRSwDev/cwl/src/master/’ and removing all objects with class ‘DockerRequirement’ from the YML.

This pipeline can be used for a targeted analysis (with --mode targeted) or for a whole transcriptome analysis (with --mode wta).

The reference_genome and transcriptome_annotation files can be generated with the make_reference pipeline. Alternatively, BD also provides standard references which can be downloaded from these locations:

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 1.0.2 -latest \
  -main-script target/nextflow/mapping/bd_rhapsody/main.nf \
  --help

Argument groups

Inputs

Name Description Attributes
--mode Whether to run a whole transcriptome analysis (WTA) or a targeted analysis. string, required, example: "wta"
--input Path to your read files in the FASTQ.GZ format. You may specify as many R1/R2 read pairs as you want. List of file, required, example: "input.fastq.gz", multiple_sep: ";"
--reference Refence to map to. For --mode wta, this is the path to STAR index as a tar.gz file. For --mode targeted, this is the path to mRNA reference file for pre-designed, supplemental, or custom panel, in FASTA format List of file, required, example: "reference_genome.tar.gz|reference.fasta", multiple_sep: ";"
--transcriptome_annotation Path to GTF annotation file (only for --mode wta). file, example: "transcriptome.gtf"
--abseq_reference Path to the AbSeq reference file in FASTA format. Only needed if BD AbSeq Ab-Oligos are used. List of file, example: "abseq_reference.fasta", multiple_sep: ";"
--supplemental_reference Path to the supplemental reference file in FASTA format. Only needed if there are additional transgene sequences used in the experiment (only for --mode wta). List of file, example: "supplemental_reference.fasta", multiple_sep: ";"
--sample_prefix Specify a run name to use as the output file base name. Use only letters, numbers, or hyphens. Do not use special characters or spaces. string, default: "sample"

Outputs

Name Description Attributes
--output Output folder. Output still needs to be processed further. file, required, example: "output_dir"

Putative cell calling settings

Name Description Attributes
--putative_cell_call Specify the dataset to be used for putative cell calling. For putative cell calling using an AbSeq dataset, please provide an AbSeq_Reference fasta file above. string, example: "mRNA"
--exact_cell_count Exact cell count - Set a specific number (>=1) of cells as putative, based on those with the highest error-corrected read count integer, example: 10000
--disable_putative_calling Disable Refined Putative Cell Calling - Determine putative cells using only the basic algorithm (minimum second derivative along the cumulative reads curve). The refined algorithm attempts to remove false positives and recover false negatives, but may not be ideal for certain complex mixtures of cell types. Does not apply if Exact Cell Count is set. boolean_true

Subsample arguments

Name Description Attributes
--subsample A number >1 or fraction (0 < n < 1) to indicate the number or percentage of reads to subsample. double, example: 0.01
--subsample_seed A seed for replicating a previous subsampled run. integer, example: 3445

Multiplex arguments

Name Description Attributes
--sample_tags_version Specify if multiplexed run. string, example: "human"
--tag_names Tag_Names (optional) - Specify the tag number followed by ‘-’ and the desired sample name to appear in Sample_Tag_Metrics.csv. Do not use the special characters: &, (), [], {}, <>, ?, | List of string, example: "4-mySample", "9-myOtherSample", "6-alsoThisSample", multiple_sep: ";"

VDJ arguments

Name Description Attributes
--vdj_version Specify if VDJ run. string, example: "human"

CWL-runner arguments

Name Description Attributes
--parallel Run jobs in parallel. boolean, default: TRUE
--timestamps Add timestamps to the errors, warnings, and notifications. boolean_true
--dryrun If true, the output directory will only contain the CWL input files, but the pipeline itself will not be executed. boolean_true
