## Minimum Requirements

1. [Nextflow version 25.04.6](https://github.com/nextflow-io/nextflow/releases/download/v25.04.6/nextflow).
    - Make the `nextflow` binary executable (`chmod 755 nextflow`) and also make sure that it is made available in your `$PATH`.
    - If your existing `JAVA` install does not support the newest **Nextflow** version, you can try **Amazon**'s `JAVA` (OpenJDK):  [Corretto](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-21-ug/downloads-list.html).
2. Either of `micromamba` (version `1.5.9`) or `docker` or `singularity` installed and made available in your `$PATH`.
    - Running the workflow via `micromamba` software provisioning is **preferred** as it does not require any `sudo` or `admin` privileges or any other configurations with respect to the various container providers.
    - To install `micromamba` for your system type, please follow these [installation steps](https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/micromamba-installation.html#linux-and-macos) and make sure that the `micromamba` binary is made available in your `$PATH`.
    - Just the `curl` step is sufficient to download the binary as far as running the workflows are concerned.
    - Once you have finished the installation, **it is important that you downgrade `micromamba` to version `1.5.9`**.
    - First check, if your version is other than `1.5.9` and if not, do the downgrade.

        ```bash
        micromamba --version
        micromamba self-update --version 1.5.9 -c conda-forge
        ```

3. Minimum of 10 CPU cores and about 60 GBs for main workflow steps. More memory may be required if your **FASTQ** files are big.

\

## HFP GalaxyTrakr

The `nowayout` pipeline **will** be made available for use on the newest version of [Galaxy instance supported by HFP, FDA](https://galaxytrakr.org/) (`version >= 24.x`). Please check this space for announcements in this regard.

Please note that the pipeline on [HFP GalaxyTrakr](https://galaxytrakr.org) in most cases may be a version older than the one on **GitHub** due to testing prioritization.

\
&nbsp;

## Usage and Examples

Clone or download this repository and then call `cpipes`.

```bash
cpipes --pipeline nowayout [options]
```

Alternatively, you can use `nextflow` to directly pull and run the pipeline.

```bash
nextflow pull CFSAN-Biostatistics/nowayout
nextflow list
nextflow info CFSAN-Biostatistics/nowayout
nextflow run CFSAN-Biostatistics/nowayout --pipeline nowayout --help
```

\
&nbsp;

### Databases

---

The successful run of the workflow requires proper setup of the custom database files:

- `nowayout_dbs`: [Download](https://cfsan-pub-xfer.s3.amazonaws.com/Kranti.Konganti/nowayout/nowayout_dbs.tar.bz2) (~ 22 GB).

Once you have downloaded the databases, uncompress and set the **UNIX symbolic link** to the database folders in [assets](../assets/) folder as follows:

```bash
mkdir assets/dbfiles
cd assets/dbfiles
ln -s /path/to/nowayout_dbs/kma kma
ln -s /path/to/nowayout_dbs/reference reference
ln -s /path/to/nowayout_dbs/taxonomy taxonomy
```

That's it!

\
&nbsp;

### Input

---

The input to the workflow is a folder containing compressed (`.gz`) FASTQ files of long reads or short reads. Please note that the sample grouping happens automatically by the file name of the FASTQ file. If for example, a single sample is sequenced across multiple sequencing lanes, you can choose to group those FASTQ files into one sample by using the `--fq_filename_delim` and `--fq_filename_delim_idx` options. By default, `--fq_filename_delim` is set to `_` (underscore) and `--fq_filename_delim_idx` is set to 1.

For example, if the directory contains FASTQ files as shown below:

- KB-01_apple_L001_R1.fastq.gz
- KB-01_apple_L001_R2.fastq.gz
- KB-01_apple_L002_R1.fastq.gz
- KB-01_apple_L002_R2.fastq.gz
- KB-02_mango_L001_R1.fastq.gz
- KB-02_mango_L001_R2.fastq.gz
- KB-02_mango_L002_R1.fastq.gz
- KB-02_mango_L002_R2.fastq.gz

Then, to create 2 sample groups, `apple` and `mango`, we split the file name by the delimitor (underscore in the case, which is default) and group by the first 2 words (`--fq_filename_delim_idx 2`).

This goes without saying that all the FASTQ files should have uniform naming patterns so that `--fq_filename_delim` and `--fq_filename_delim_idx` options do not have any adverse effect in collecting and creating a sample metadata sheet.

\
&nbsp;

### Output

---

All the outputs for each step are stored inside the folder mentioned with the `--output` option. A `multiqc_report.html` file inside the `nowayout-multiqc` folder can be opened in any browser on your local workstation which contains a consolidated brief report.

Please note that the percentage relative abundances seen are relative to the total number of mitochondrial reads and not the total number of reads per sample.

\
&nbsp;

### Preset filters

---

There are three preset threshold filters that are available with the pipeline: `--nowo_thresholds strict`, `--nowo_thresholds mild` and `--nowo_thresholds relax`. Use these options for exploration of results via multiple runs on the same input dataset. The default is `strict` thresholds.

\
&nbsp;

### Computational resources

---

The workflows `nowayout` require at least a minimum of 10 CPU cores and 60 GBs of memory to successfully finish the workflow.

\
&nbsp;

### Runtime profiles

---

You can use different run time profiles that suit your specific compute environments i.e., you can run the workflow locally on your machine or in a grid computing infrastructure.

\
&nbsp;

Example:

```bash
cd /data/scratch/$USER
mkdir nf-cpipes
cd nf-cpipes
cpipes \
    --pipeline nowayout \
    --input /path/to/fastq_pass_dir \
    --output /path/to/where/output/should/go \
    -profile your_institution
```

The above command would run the pipeline and store the output at the location per the `--output` flag and the **NEXTFLOW** reports are always stored in the current working directory from where `cpipes` is run. For example, for the above command, a directory called `CPIPES-nowayout` would hold all the **NEXTFLOW** related logs, reports and trace files.

\
&nbsp;

### `your_institution.config`

---

In the above example, we can see that we have mentioned the run time profile as `your_institution`. For this to work, add the following lines at the end of [`computeinfra.config`](../conf/computeinfra.config) file which should be located inside the `conf` folder. For example, if your institution uses **SGE** or **UNIVA** for grid computing instead of **SLURM** and has a job queue named `normal.q`, then add these lines:

\
&nbsp;

```groovy
your_institution {
    process.executor = 'sge'
    process.queue = 'normal.q'
    singularity.enabled = false
    singularity.autoMounts = true
    docker.enabled = false
    params.enable_conda = true
    conda.enabled = true
    conda.useMicromamba = true
    params.enable_module = false
}
```

In the above example, by default, all the software provisioning choices are disabled except `conda`. You can also choose to remove the `process.queue` line altogether and the `nowayout` workflow will request the appropriate memory and number of CPU cores automatically, which ranges from 1 CPU, 1 GB and 1 hour for job completion up to 10 CPU cores, 1 TB and 120 hours for job completion.

\
&nbsp;

### Cloud computing

---

You can run the workflow in the cloud (works only with proper set up of AWS resources). Add new run time profiles with required parameters per [Nextflow docs](https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/executor.html):

\
&nbsp;

Example:

```groovy
my_aws_batch {
    executor = 'awsbatch'
    queue = 'my-batch-queue'
    aws.batch.cliPath = '/home/ec2-user/miniconda/bin/aws'
    aws.batch.region = 'us-east-1'
    singularity.enabled = false
    singularity.autoMounts = true
    docker.enabled = true
    params.conda_enabled = false
    params.enable_module = false
}
```

\
&nbsp;

## Test Run

After you make sure that you have all the [minimum requirements](#minimum-requirements) to run the workflow, you can try the `nowayout` on some datasets.

- Download input reads [from S3](https://cfsan-pub-xfer.s3.amazonaws.com/Kranti.Konganti/nowayout/nowayout_test_reads.tar.bz2) (~ 8 GB).
  - This dataset was part of the research for detecting and identifying insects or insect fragments in food, an essential component of food safety and regulatory monitoring. Insects such as **_Plodia interpunctella_** (Indian meal moth) and _**Tribolium castaneum**_ (red flour beetle) were intentionally spiked into wheat flour at varying concentrations to create benchmark samples. These serve as reference materials to test and validate molecular detection workflows.
- Download pre-formatted  databases (**MANDATORY**) [from S3](https://cfsan-pub-xfer.s3.amazonaws.com/Kranti.Konganti/nowayout/nowayout_dbs.tar.bz2) (~ 22 GB).
- After successful download, untar and add **symbolic links** in [assets](../assets) folder as described in the [Databases](#databases) section.
- It is always a best practice to use absolute UNIX paths and real destinations of symbolic links during pipeline execution. For example, find out the real path(s) of your absolute UNIX path(s) and use that for the `--input` and `--output` options of the pipeline.

  ```bash
  realpath /hpc/scratch/user/input/srr
  ```

- Now run the workflow by ignoring quality values since these are simulated base qualities:

    ```bash
    cpipes \
        --pipeline nowayout \
        --input /path/to/nowayout_test_reads \
        --output /path/to/nowayout_test_output \
        --fq_single_end true \
        -profile stdkondagac \
        -resume
    ```

- After succesful run of the workflow, your **MultiQC** report should look something like [this](https://cfsan-pub-xfer.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Kranti.Konganti/nowayout/CPIPES-Report_multiqc_report.html).

- `nowayout` also automatically generates [Krona](https://github.com/marbl/Krona) charts. The **Krona** chart for the above test run should look something like [this](https://cfsan-pub-xfer.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Kranti.Konganti/nowayout/CPIPES_nowayout_krona.html)

Please note that the run time profile `stdkondagac` will run jobs locally using `micromamba` for software provisioning. The first time you run the command, a new folder called `kondagac_cache` will be created and subsequent runs should use this `conda` cache.

Version                         : 0.5.0


Usage                           : cpipes --pipeline nowayout [options]


Required                        :

                                  files. The directory should contain only
                                  FASTQ files as all the files within the
                                  mentioned directory will be read. Ex: --
                                  input /path/to/fastq_pass

--output                        : Absolute path to directory where all the
                                  pipeline outputs should be stored. Ex: --
                                  output /path/to/output

Other options                   : 

--metadata                      : Absolute path to metadata CSV file
                                  containing five mandatory columns: sample,
                                  fq1,fq2,strandedness,single_end. The fq1
                                  and fq2 columns contain absolute paths to
                                  the FASTQ files. This option can be used in
                                  place of --input option. This is rare. Ex
                                  : --metadata samplesheet.csv

--fq_suffix                     : The suffix of FASTQ files (Unpaired reads
                                  or R1 reads or Long reads) if an input
                                  directory is mentioned via --input option.
                                  Default: _R1_001.fastq.gz

--fq2_suffix                    : The suffix of FASTQ files (Paired-end reads
                                  or R2 reads) if an input directory is
                                  mentioned via --input option. Default:
                                  _R2_001.fastq.gz

--fq_filter_by_len              : Remove FASTQ reads that are less than this
                                  many bases. Default: 0

--fq_strandedness               : The strandedness of the sequencing run.
                                  This is mostly needed if your sequencing
                                  run is RNA-SEQ. For most of the other runs
                                  , it is probably safe to use unstranded for
                                  the option. Default: unstranded

--fq_single_end                 : SINGLE-END information will be auto-
                                  detected but this option forces PAIRED-END
                                  FASTQ files to be treated as SINGLE-END so
                                  only read 1 information is included in auto
                                  -generated samplesheet. Default: false

--fq_filename_delim             : Delimiter by which the file name is split
                                  to obtain sample name. Default: _

                                  the --fq_filename_delim option, all
                                  elements before this index (1-based) will
                                  be joined to create final sample name.
                                  Default: 1

                                  scoring (it'll be converted to phred33, so
                                  the output will still be phred33). Default
                                  : false

--fastp_reads_to_process        : Specify how many reads/pairs are to be
                                  processed. Default value 0 means process
