BEDboss-all pipeline

Bedboss run-all is intended to run on ONE sample (bed file) and run all bedboss pipelines: bedmaker (+ bedclassifier + bedqc) -> bedstat. After that optionally it can run bedbuncher, qdrant indexing and upload metadata to PEPhub.

First you have to install bedboss and check if all requirements are satisfied. To do so, you can run next command:

Terminal window
bedboss check-requirements

If requirements are not satisfied, you will see the list of missing packages.

To run bedboss, you need to create a bedconf.yaml file with configuration. Detail instructions are in the configuration section.

To run bedboss, you need to run the next command:

Terminal window
bedboss all \
--bedbase-config bedconf.yaml \
--input-file path/to/bedfile.bed \
--outfolder path/to/output/dir \
--input-type bed \
--genome hg38 \

Above command will run bedboss on the bed file and create a bedstat file in the output directory. It contains only required parameters. For more details, please check the usage section.

By default, results will be uploaded only to the PostgreSQL database.

  • To upload results to PEPhub, you need to make the databio org available on GitHub, then login to PEPhub, and add the --upload-pephub flag to the command.
  • To upload results to Qdrant, you need to add the --upload-qdrant flag to the command.
  • To upload actual files to S3, you need to add the --upload-s3 flag to the command, and before uploading, you have to set up all necessary environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and AWS_ENDPOINT_URL.
  • To ignore errors and continue processing, you need to add the --no-fail flag to the command.

To run bedboss all from within Python, instead of using the command line in the step #3, you can use the following code:

from bedboss import bedboss
bedboss.run_all(
name="sample1",
input_file="path/to/bedfile.bed",
input_type="bed",
outfolder="path/to/output/dir",
genome="hg38",
bedbase_config="bedconf.yaml",
other_metadata=None, # optional
upload_pephub=True, # optional
upload_qdrant=True, # optional
upload_s3=True, # optional
)
