Minor release to fix a bug in the command for the Bismark alignment. This change should have no effect on the pipeline output, though single-end alignments with Bismark should now be 2x faster. See issue #210 for full investigation.

Pipeline Updates

  • Added new config profile to run minimal test paired-end dataset, with -profile test_paired. Added to the CI tests.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed silent bug in Bismark alignment command that had no effect on the output (#210)

Software updates

  • Picard 2.25.1 > 2.25.4
  • MultiQC 1.10 > 1.10.1

⚠️ Breaking change!

In line with a standardisation change across all of nf-core, we have changed the main parameter name for supplying files to the pipeline.
In this release, please use --input instead of --reads.
The parameter still works in the same way as before.

Pipeline Updates

  • Increased resources for fastqc process (#143)
  • Raised Nextflow version requirement to 20.07.1
  • Updated template to nf-core/tools 1.13.3
  • Renamed --reads to --input
  • Added new --maxins and --minins parameters to pass on to Bismark
  • New --em_seq preset
    • Sets bismark_maxins = 1000, clip_r1 = 8, clip_r2 = 8, three_prime_clip_r1 = 8, three_prime_clip_r2 = 8
  • New --publish_dir_mode parameter to customise results folder behaviour
  • Fix bug on AWS for bismark_hisat known splice file (#177)
  • Moved parameter documentation into new nextflow_schema.json file
  • Added a -profile test_full config for running the pipeline with a full-size test dataset
    • See the config file for details
    • This will be used for automated release tests on AWS, results browsable on the website

Software updates

  • Python base 3.7.3 > 3.8.8

New features

  • Changed all parameter names to snake_case
  • Added --local_alignment option to run Bismark with the --local flag to allow soft-clipping of reads.
  • Added support for bismark's SLAM-seq mode
  • Added support for running bismark with HISAT2 as an aligner option #85
  • Added support for centralized configuration profiles nf-core/configs
  • Add --meth_cutoff parameter to change default for bismark_methylation_extractor
    • eg. use --meth_cutoff 5 on the command line or params.meth_cutoff = 5 to require 5 overlapping reads to call a methylation site.
  • Added --methyl_kit option to run MethylDackel with the --methylKit flag, producing output suitable for the methylKit R package.

Software updates

  • new dependency: hisat2 2.1.0
  • new dependency: r-markdown 1.1
  • TrimGalore! 0.5.0 > 0.6.4
  • Bismark 0.20.0 > 0.22.2
  • Bowtie2 2.3.4.3 > 2.3.5
  • Picard 2.18.21 > 2.21.3
  • Qualimap 2.2.2b > 2.2.2c
  • MethylDackel 0.3.0 > 0.4.0

Pipeline updates

  • Keep memory in GB for samtools, to avoid problems with unit conversion (#99)
  • Changed params.container for process.container
  • Synchronised with version 1.7 of the nf-core/tools template

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused conda dependencies to be resolved very slowly
  • Allowed some spare memory in the samtools sort steps, avoiding crashes for some users (#81)

1.3

A fairly quick release on the heels of 1.2 to fix a nasty bug introduced that prevented the pipeline from running on more than one file. Whilst we're here we added in a new tool: preseq.

New features

  • Added preseq analysis to calculate sample complexity.
    • This new step can help decide sufficient sequencing depth has been reached.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed new bug that meant pipeline only worked with one sample at a time #66
    • Introduced in previous release. TrimGalore onwards would only process one sample.

1.0

First release of this pipeline under the nf-core flag. It also marks a significant step up in the maturity of the workflow, with everything now in a single script and both aligner workflows fully supported.

  • Renamed and moved SciLifeLab/NGI-MethylSeq to nf-core/methylseq
  • Merged bwa-meth and bismark pipeline scripts, now chosen with --aligner flag
  • Refactored multi-core parameters for Bismark alignment and methylation extraction
  • Rewrote most of the documentation
  • Changed the Docker container to use Bioconda installations

For earlier releases and development notes, please see the (now archived) fork at SciLifeLab/NGI-MethylSeq.
