| 5 | + |
| 6 | +--- |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +## Implementation Completed |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +### 1. ✅ Pipeline Structure |
| 11 | +- **Main workflow**: `main.nf` - DSL2 Nextflow pipeline |
| 12 | +- **Modules**: Modular process definitions in `modules/` directory |
| 13 | + - `FASTP` - Quality control and trimming |
| 14 | + - `XENGSORT_INDEX` - Reference genome indexing |
| 15 | + - `XENGSORT_CLASSIFY` - Read classification |
| 16 | + - `MULTIQC` - Quality report aggregation |
| 17 | +- **Configuration**: `nextflow.config` with three test profiles |
| 18 | +- **Documentation**: Comprehensive testing and usage guides |
| 19 | + |

| 36 | + - References: iGenomes (public S3) |
| 37 | +- **Features**: Fusion file system, Wave containers |
| 38 | +- **Best for**: Cloud deployment validation |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +#### Profile 3: `test_full` (Production-Scale) |
| 41 | +- **Purpose**: Full validation with realistic WES data |
| 42 | +- **Data**: 2-5 GB WES samples |
| 43 | +- **Runtime**: 2-4 hours |
| 44 | +- **Resources**: Production-scale (8 CPUs, 32 GB RAM) |
| 45 | +- **Best for**: Pre-deployment validation, benchmarking |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### 3. ✅ Cloud Integration |
| 48 | + |

| 51 | +- **Public data references** from: |
| 52 | + - `s3://nf-core-awsmegatests/` (test FASTQ files) |
| 53 | + - `s3://ngi-igenomes/` (reference genomes - GRCh38, mm10) |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +#### Fusion File System Support |
| 56 | +- **Enabled** for `test_s3` profile |
| 57 | +- **Direct S3 access** without staging overhead |

| 193 | +## Next Steps / Recommendations |
| 194 | + |
| 195 | +### For Deployment: |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +1. **Run Local Test** |
| 198 | + ```bash |
| 199 | + nextflow run main.nf -profile test,docker |
| 200 | + ``` |
| 201 | + Validates basic functionality (2-5 minutes) |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +2. **Run S3 Test** (if using cloud) |
| 204 | + ```bash |
| 205 | + nextflow run main.nf -profile test_s3,docker -with-wave -with-fusion |
| 206 | + ``` |
| 207 | + Validates cloud infrastructure (2-5 minutes) |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +3. **Run Production Test** |
| 210 | + ```bash |
| 211 | + nextflow run main.nf -profile test_full,docker \ |
| 212 | + --input /path/to/wes/samplesheet.csv |
| 213 | + ``` |
| 214 | + Validates with realistic data (2-4 hours) |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +4. **Deploy to Seqera Platform** |
| 217 | + ```bash |
| 218 | + tw launch https://github.com/your-org/xengsort \ |
| 219 | + --profile test_s3,docker \ |
| 220 | + --compute-env your_ce \ |
| 221 | + --work-dir s3://your-bucket/work \ |
| 222 | + --wave --fusion |
| 223 | + ``` |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +### For Customization: |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +- **Add new profiles**: Edit `nextflow.config` profiles section |
| 228 | +- **Adjust resources**: Modify process-specific directives |
| 229 | +- **Add processes**: Create new modules in `modules/` |
| 230 | +- **Custom references**: Override `hg38_fasta` / `nsg_fasta` parameters |
| 231 | +- **Output locations**: Change `outdir_*` parameters |
| 232 | + |
| 233 | +### For Production: |
| 234 | + |
| 235 | +- **Enable caching**: Use Seqera Platform resume functionality |
| 236 | +- **Monitor resources**: Use workflow execution reports |
| 237 | +- **Optimize costs**: Use spot instances with retry strategies |
| 238 | +- **Scale up**: Increase process-specific resources as needed |
| 239 | +- **Enable Fusion**: Always use for cloud deployments (eliminates staging) |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +--- |
| 242 | + |
| 243 | +## Support & Troubleshooting |
| 244 | + |
| 245 | +### Common Issues: |
| 246 | + |
| 247 | +1. **S3 Access Errors** |
| 248 | + - Verify AWS credentials |
| 249 | + - Check bucket permissions |
| 250 | + - Ensure iGenomes bucket is accessible |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +2. **Fusion Mount Failures** |
| 253 | + - Add `--with-fusion` flag |
| 254 | + - Verify Wave is enabled |
| 255 | + - Check compute environment supports Fusion |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | +3. **Out of Memory** |
| 258 | + - Increase process memory allocation |
| 259 | + - Use larger compute instances |
| 260 | + - Check actual data size vs. test data |
| 261 | + |
| 262 | +4. **Index Creation Fails** |
| 263 | + - Verify reference FASTA is valid |
| 264 | + - Check genome size vs. allocated memory |
| 265 | + - Ensure sufficient disk space |
| 266 | + |
| 267 | +### Getting Help: |
| 268 | + |
| 269 | +- Review `TESTING.md` for detailed troubleshooting |
