    Regulation (CRG) Bio in Docker Symposium - 9 Nov 2015, London Reproducible computational pipelines with Docker and Nextflow
  2. WHAT THINGS MOST FRUSTRATE YOU OR LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO

    CARRY OUT BIOINFORMATICS ANALYSIS?* • Ability to compile/run the average software suite. • Diversity and complexity of software deployments. • Poor and/or incomplete documentation. • Installation of different software, packages,... and getting them to work on different platforms. • Lack of truly standard file formats. • Time installing software. • Lack of computing resources (cpus, memory, storage, etc). * available at https://goo.gl/TF9TMj
  3. COMPLEXITY • Dozens of dependencies (binary tools, compilers, libraries, system

    tools, etc) • Experimental nature of academic SW tends to be difficult to install, configure and deploy • Heterogeneous executing platforms and system architecture (laptop→supercomputer)
  4. BENEFITS • Smaller images (~100MB) • Fast instantiation time (~1sec)

    • Almost native performance • Easy to build, publish, share and deploy • Transparent build process
  5. Host PACKAGING A WORKFLOW Docker image Binary tools Workflow scripts

    Config file Compilers Libraries Environment
  6. PROS • Dead easy deployment procedure • Self-contained and precise

    controlled runtime • Rapidly reproduce any former configuration • Consistent results over time and across different platforms
  7. BENCHMARK* * Di Tommaso P, Palumbo E, Chatzou M, Prieto

    P, Heuer ML, Notredame C. (2015) 
 The impact of Docker containers on the performance of genomic pipelines. PeerJ 3:e1273 
 https://dx.doi.org/10.7717/peerj.1273
  8. • DSL (domain specify lang.) on top of JVM •

    High-level parallelisation model • Configurable executors target multiple platforms
  9. RATIONALE • Make workflows portable across different computational environments •

    Simplify deployment and enable reproducibility • Reuse any existing piece of SW (tools, scripts, etc)
  10. process  foo  {   !      input:    

       val  str  from  'Hello'   !      output:        file  'my_file'  into  result   !      script:        """        echo  $str  world!  >  my_file        """   }   ! PROCESS DEFINITION
  11. WHAT A SCRIPT LOOKS LIKE ! sequences  =  Channel.fromPath("/data/sample.fasta")  

                            process  blast  {   input:     file  'in.fasta'  from  sequences   output:   file  'out.txt'  into  blast_result   ! """   blastp  -­‐query  in.fasta  -­‐outfmt  6  |  cut  -­‐f  2  |  \   blastdbcmd  -­‐entry_batch  -­‐  >  out.txt   """   }     ! process  align  {   input:     file  all_seqs  from  blast_result   output:     file  align_result   ! """   t_coffee  $all_seqs  2>&-­‐  |  tee  align_result
 """   }   ! blast_result.collectFile(name:  'final_alignment')    
  12. IMPLICIT PARALLELISM ! sequences  =  Channel.fromPath("/data/*.fasta")        

                      process  blast  {   input:     file  'in.fasta'  from  sequences   output:   file  'out.txt'  into  blast_result   ! """   blastp  -­‐query  in.fasta  -­‐outfmt  6  |  cut  -­‐f  2  |  \   blastdbcmd  -­‐entry_batch  -­‐  >  out.txt   """   }     ! process  align  {   input:     file  all_seqs  from  blast_result   output:     file  align_result   ! """   t_coffee  $all_seqs  2>&-­‐  |  tee  align_result
 """   }   ! blast_result.collectFile(name:  'final_alignment')    
  13. BENEFITS • High-level declarative parallelisation model • Portable across different

    platforms • Isolates task dependencies with Docker containers
  14. CONFIGURATION FILE ! process  {
    container  =  'your/image:latest'  


       executor  =  'sge'    
    queue  =  'cn-­‐el6'
    memory  =  '10GB'
    cpus  =  8
    time  =  '2h'
 }  
  15. DEPLOYMENT MODES • Local execution • Grid engine / batch

    scheduler • Distributed execution (embedded cluster) • Managed cloud (ClusterK, DNAnexus) • AWS cloud platform
  16. GRID ENGINE nextflow login node NFS cluster node cluster node

    cluster node cluster node batch scheduler submit tasks cluster node
  17. DISTRIBUTED MODE Login node NFS/Lustre Job request cluster node cluster

  20. WHO IS USING NEXTFLOW? • Campagne Lab, Weill Medical College

    of Cornell University • Center for Biotechnology, Bielefeld University • Genetic Cancer group, International Agency Cancer Research • Guigo Lab, Center for Genomic Regulation • Medical genetics diagnostic, Oslo University Hospital • National Marrow Donor Program • Parasite Genomics, Sanger Institute • Sabeti Lab, Broad Institute • Veracyte Inc
  21. FUTURE WORK Short term • Investigate support for Bioboxes •

    Support for Git LFS (large file storage) • Version 1.0 (first half 2016) Long term • Enhance processing capabilities with distributed caching and data affinity. • Interoperability with YARN / Spark clusters / Common WL
  22. CONCLUSION • Docker is a game-changer for workflows packaging and

    deployment • Nextflow is a streaming oriented framework for computational workflows. • Docker + Nextflow = Reproducible self- contained pipelines.
