The workflow processes raw data from FastQ inputs ([FastQC](https://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/), [Trim Galore!](https://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/trim_galore/)), aligns the reads ([STAR](https://github.com/alexdobin/STAR) or [HiSAT2](https://ccb.jhu.edu/software/hisat2/index.shtml)), generates gene counts ([featureCounts](http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/featureCounts/), [StringTie](https://ccb.jhu.edu/software/stringtie/)) and performs extensive quality-control on the results ([RSeQC](http://rseqc.sourceforge.net/), [dupRadar](https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/dupRadar.html), [Preseq](http://smithlabresearch.org/software/preseq/), [edgeR](https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/edgeR.html), [MultiQC](http://multiqc.info/)). See the [output documentation](docs/output.md) for more details of the results. The pipeline is built using [Nextflow](https://www.nextflow.io), a bioinformatics workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It comes with docker / singularity containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible. ### Documentation The nfcore/rnaseq pipeline comes with documentation about the pipeline, found in the `docs/` directory: 1. [Installation](docs/installation.md) 2. Pipeline configuration * [Local installation](docs/configuration/local.md) * [Amazon Web Services (aws)](docs/configuration/aws.md) * [Swedish UPPMAX clusters](docs/configuration/uppmax.md) * [Swedish cs3e Hebbe cluster](docs/configuration/c3se.md) * [Tübingen QBiC](docs/configuration/qbic.md) * [CCGA Kiel](docs/configuration/ccga.md) * [Adding your own system](docs/configuration/adding_your_own.md) 3.
