[1.12.0] - 2024-02-29
- The Aspera CLI was recently added to Bioconda and we have added it as another way of downloading FastQ files in addition to the existing FTP and sra-tools support. In our limited benchmarks on all public Clouds we found ~50% speed-up in download times compared to FTP! FTP downloads will still be the default download method (i.e.
--download_method ftp
) but you can choose to use sra-tools or Aspera using--download_method sratools
or--download_method aspera
, respectively. We would love to have your feedback! - The
--force_sratools_download
parameter has been deprecated in favour of using--download_method <method>
to explicitly specify the download method; available options areftp
,sratools
oraspera
. - Support for Synapse ids has been dropped in this release. We haven't had any feedback from users whether it is being used or not. Users can run earlier versions of the pipeline if required.
- We have significantly refactored and standardised the way we are using nf-test within this pipeline. This pipeline is now the current, best-practice implementation for nf-test usage on nf-core. We required a number of features to be added to nf-test and a huge shoutout to Lukas Forer for entertaining our requests and implementing them within upstream ❤️!

- Updated pipeline template to nf-core/tools 2.7.2
- Added support for generating nf-core/atacseq compatible samplesheets
- Added

parameter to specify value forstrandedness
entry added to samplesheet created when using--nf_core_pipeline rnaseq
. The default isauto
which can be used with nf-core/rnaseq v3.10 onwards to auto-detect strandedness during the pipeline execution.

SRR
andDRR
metadata from ENA API instead of NCBI API to bypass frequent breaking changes - Updated pipeline template to nf-core/tools 2.6
[1.7] - 2022-07-01
Support for GEO ids has been dropped in this release due to breaking changes introduced in the NCBI API. For more detailed information please see this PR.
As a workaround, if you have a GEO accession you can directly download a text file containing the appropriate SRA ids to pass to the pipeline:
- Search for your GEO accession on GEO
- Click
SRA Run Selector
at the bottom of the GEO accession page - Select the desired samples in the
SRA Run Selector
and then download theAccession List
This downloads a text file called SRR_Acc_List.txt
that can be directly provided to the pipeline e.g. --input SRR_Acc_List.txt
.
- #97 - Add support for generating nf-core/taxprofiler compatible samplesheets.
- #99 - SRA_IDS_TO_RUNINFO fails due to bad request
- Add
enum
field for--nf_core_pipeline
to parameter schema so only accept supported pipelines are accepted

- #57 - fetchngs fails if FTP is blocked
- #89 - Improve detection and usage of the NCBI user settings by using the standardized sra-tools modules from nf-core.
- #93 - Adjust modules configuration to respect the
publish_dir_mode
parameter. - [nf-core/rnaseq#764] - Test fails when using GCP due to missing tools in the basic biocontainer

[1.5] - 2021-12-01
- Finish porting the pipeline to the updated Nextflow DSL2 syntax adopted on nf-core/modules
- Bump minimum Nextflow version from

- Bump minimum Nextflow version from
[1.4] - 2021-11-09
- Convert pipeline to updated Nextflow DSL2 syntax for future adoption across nf-core
- Added a workflow to download FastQ files and to create samplesheets for ids from the Synapse platform hosted by Sage Bionetworks.
- SRA identifiers not available for direct download via the ENA FTP will now be downloaded via
sra-tools
. - Added
--force_sratools_download
parameter to preferentially download all FastQ files viasra-tools
instead of ENA FTP. - Correctly handle errors from SRA identifiers that do not return metadata, for example, due to being private.
- Retry an error in prefetch via bash script in order to allow it to resume interrupted downloads.
- Name output FastQ files by
{EXP_ACC}_{RUN_ACC}*fastq.gz
instead of{EXP_ACC}_{T*}*fastq.gz
for run id provenance - [#46] - Bug in sra_ids_to_runinfo.py
- Added support for DDBJ ids. See examples below:

[1.0] - 2021-06-08
Initial release of nf-core/fetchngs, created with the nf-core template.
Via a single file of ids, provided one-per-line the pipeline performs the following steps:
- Resolve database ids back to appropriate experiment-level ids and to be compatible with the ENA API
- Fetch extensive id metadata including direct download links to FastQ files via ENA API
- Download FastQ files in parallel via
curl
and performmd5sum
check - Collate id metadata and paths to FastQ files in a single samplesheet
Currently, the following types of example identifiers are supported:
SRA |
ENA |
GEO |
