+# Fastqpipeline : Bacterial Isolate Genome Sequencing Data Processing pipeline
+
+fastqpipeline is designed to process bacterial isolate whole genome sequencing data obtained using Nanopore sequencing technology (ONT). The pipeline takes single fastq.gz file per sample as input and includes both assembling with flye and polishing with medaka of the genome sequences. This pipeline has been design and tested on ubuntu 22.04. You may face some issues while trying to run it in other linux distributions.
+
+```
+OPTIONS:
+
+-i: Path to input directory containing compressed fastq files (Example: sample_name.fastq.gz).
+-o: Path to the directory where processed data will be stored. This directory will be created if it doesn't exist.
+-m: Medaka model for consensus polishing.
+-t: Number of threads to provide for the analysis (optional).
+-b: GPU memory control for medaka (optional).
+-v: Enable verbosity (optional).
+```
+
+## Instructions to running fastqpipeline 
+### Setup environment
+Before using this pipeline, you need to setup the required environment by installing the following software, if they are not already installed:
+- [conda](https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/index.html) 
+- [mamba](https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mamba-installation.html#mamba-install) in conda base environment
+- Create the environment named `medaka`
+- [flye 2.9.2-b1786 or above](https://github.com/fenderglass/Flye) (To be installed with conda)
+- [medaka 1.8.0 or above](https://anaconda.org/bioconda/medaka) (To be installed with conda)
+
+### Run fastqpipeline
+
+To run this pipeline, kindly follow this instructions in your terminal from your home directory:
+
+```bash
+# To get the pipeline source code on your laptop
+git clone https://github.com/AlbertRockG/fast5toGenome
+
+# To add fastqpipeline to the PATH if using bash shell
+echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/fast5Genome" >> .bashrc
+source .bashrc
+
+# To activate the medaka environment, if using conda
+conda activate medaka
+
+# Example of running
+fastqpipeline -i data/IN_DIR \\
+                -o data/OUT_DIR \\
+                -m r941_min_hac_g507 \\
+                -v
+```
