Configuration File

To download a configuration file template users just use --get_config parameter. Using a config file your code is lot more clean and concise.

# get config
nextflow run fmalmeida/ngs-preprocess --get_config

# run with config
nextflow run fmalmeida/ngs-preprocess -c [path-to-config]

Default configuration

                                      fmalmeida/ngs-preprocess pipeline configuration file

                    Maintained by Felipe Marques de Almeida
                    Contact: almeidafmarques@outlook.com

                    This file contains all the parameters that are required by the pipeline.
                    Some of them can be left in blank and other ones need a proper configuration.

                    Please do not change anything before the = sign. Fields must be configured 
                    and set with values after the = sign.

                    Since the input file parameters will always work as a pattern match
                    it is required that it MUST ALWAYS be double quoted as the example below.

                    The pipeline will process each file that matches the pattern separately.

                                E.g. param1 = "my_reads/input*.fastq"
