FAQ

Pipeline initialisation

Workflow defines configfile config_chip.yml but it is not present or accessible.

This error occurs when the pipeline is run without a config file present in the working directory. Ensure that seqnado-config has been run before starting the pipeline and that you are in the new directory created by seqnado-config.

Follow the Pipeline Setup instructions to create a config file.

Can I merge multiple samples into a single sample?

Yes, you can merge multiple samples into a single sample to generate merged bigWig files and consensus peaks. To do this, you need to create a design file that specifies the samples to be merged. The design file should have a column named "merge" that specifies the samples to be merged e.g.:

sample r1 r2 deseq2 merge
