Acanthophis

A reusable, comprehensive, opinionated Snakemake pipeline for plant-microbe genomics and plant variant calling.

Documentation

For documentation, see ./documentation.md. In summary:

# create conda env, activate it
mamba create -n someproject python snakemake pip natsort
mamba activate someproject

# Install acanthophis itself
pip install acanthophis

# Generate a workspace. This copies all files the workflow will need to your
# workspace directory.
acanthophis-init /path/to/someproject/

# Edit config.yml to suit your project. Hopefully this config file documents
# all options available in an understandable fashion. If not, please raise an
# issue on github.
vim config.yml

# Run snakemake
snakemake -j 16 -p --use-conda --conda-frontend mamba --ri

# Or on a cluster, see acanthophis-init --list-available-profiles
snakemake --profile ./ebio-cluster/

Compatibility

While snakemake and Acanthophis are cross-platform, most of the underlying tools are only packaged for and/or only operate on Linux x68_64. Therefore, I only support users on Linux systems. In theory, everything should run on OSX or WSL, but the vast majority of users will want to utilise a high performance linux workstation (at least, probably more likely a cluster).

Running tests

For running tests, see ./tests/README.md.

Contribution & Assistance

If you have anything (advice, docs, code) you'd like to contribute, pull requests are more than welcome. Please discuss any major contribution in a new issue before implementing it, to avoid wasted effort.

If you need any assistance, or have other questions or comments, please make an issue on github, or open a discussion. Unfortunately both need an account on github, so alternatively you can email me (foss <usual email symbol> kdmurray.id.au).
