Nextflow rnafusion analysis pipeline, part of the nf-core community..

Introduction

nf-core/rnafusion is a bioinformatics best-practise analysis pipeline for identifying gene fusions from RNA-seq experiments.

The pipeline is built using Nextflow, a workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It comes with docker containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible.

Tool	Single-end reads	Version
Arriba	❌	`1.2.0`
EricScript	❌	`0.5.5`
FusionCatcher	✅	`1.20`
Fusion-Inspector	❌	`2.3.1`
fusion-report	-	`2.1.3`
Pizzly	❌	`0.37.3`
Squid	❌	`1.5`
Star-Fusion	✅	`1.9.1`

Quick Start

Install nextflow
Install any of Docker, Singularity or Podman for full pipeline reproducibility (please only use Conda as a last resort; see docs)
Download the pipeline and test it on a minimal dataset with a single command:
```
nextflow run nf-core/rnafusion -profile test,<docker/singularity/podman/conda/institute>
```
Please check nf-core/configs to see if a custom config file to run nf-core pipelines already exists for your Institute. If so, you can simply use -profile <institute> in your command. This will enable either docker or singularity and set the appropriate execution settings for your local compute environment.

Start running your own analysis!

nextflow run nf-core/rnafusion -profile <docker/singularity/podman/conda/institute> --input '*_R{1,2}.fastq.gz' --genome GRCh37

See usage docs for all of the available options when running the pipeline.
