QIIME2 on Biowulf
QIIME 2 is a powerful, extensible, and decentralized microbiome analysis package with a focus on data and analysis transparency. QIIME 2 enables researchers to start an analysis with raw DNA sequence data and finish with publication-quality figures and statistical results.

Interactive job
Interactive jobs should be used for debugging, graphics, or applications that cannot be run as batch jobs.
Allocate an interactive session and run the program. Sample session:
[user@biowulf]$ sinteractive salloc.exe: Pending job allocation 46116226 salloc.exe: job 46116226 queued and waiting for resources salloc.exe: job 46116226 has been allocated resources salloc.exe: Granted job allocation 46116226 salloc.exe: Waiting for resource configuration salloc.exe: Nodes cn3144 are ready for job [user@cn3144 ~]$ module load QIIME [user@cn3144 ~]$ cp -R $QIIME_EXAMPLES/qiime2-moving-pictures-tutorial .

Batch job
Most jobs should be run as batch jobs.
Create a batch input file (e.g. QIIME.sh). For example:
#!/bin/bash module load QIIME cp -R $QIIME_EXAMPLES/qiime2-atacama-tutorial . cd qiime2-atacama-tutorial qiime tools import \ --type EMPPairedEndSequences \ --input-path emp-paired-end-sequences \ --output-path emp-paired-end-sequences.qza qiime demux emp-paired \ --verbose \ --m-barcodes-file sample-metadata.tsv \ --m-barcodes-category BarcodeSequence \ --i-seqs emp-paired-end-sequences.qza \ --o-per-sample-sequences demux \ --p-rev-comp-mapping-barcodes qiime demux summarize \ --verbose \ --i-data demux.qza \ --o-visualization demux.qzv qiime dada2 denoise-paired \ --verbose \ --p-n-threads $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK \ --i-demultiplexed-seqs demux.qza \ --o-table table \ --o-representative-sequences rep-seqs \ --p-trim-left-f 13 \ --p-trim-left-r 13 \ --p-trunc-len-f 150 \ --p-trunc-len-r 150 qiime feature-table summarize \ --verbose \ --i-table table.qza \ --o-visualization table.qzv \ --m-sample-metadata-file sample-metadata.tsv qiime feature-table tabulate-seqs \ --verbose \ --i-data rep-seqs.qza \ --o-visualization rep-seqs.qzv
Submit this job using the Slurm sbatch command.
sbatch --cpus-per-task=8 --mem=20g --gres:lscratch:20 --time=4:00:00 QIIME.sh
Swarm of Jobs
A swarm of jobs is an easy way to submit set of independent commands requiring identical resources.
Create a swarmfile (e.g. QIIME.swarm). For example:
qiime dada2 denoise-single \ --p-n-threads $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK \ --p-trim-left 13 \ --p-trunc-len 150 \ --i-demultiplexed-seqs fmt-tutorial-demux-1.qza \ --o-representative-sequences rep-seqs-1.qza \ --o-table table-1.qza qiime dada2 denoise-single \ --p-n-threads $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK \ --p-trim-left 13 \ --p-trunc-len 150 \ --i-demultiplexed-seqs fmt-tutorial-demux-2.qza \ --o-representative-sequences rep-seqs-2.qza \ --o-table table-2.qza qiime dada2 denoise-single \ --p-n-threads $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK \ --p-trim-left 13 \ --p-trunc-len 150 \ --i-demultiplexed-seqs fmt-tutorial-demux-3.qza \ --o-representative-sequences rep-seqs-3.qza \ --o-table table-3.qza qiime dada2 denoise-single \ --p-n-threads $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK \ --p-trim-left 13 \ --p-trunc-len 150 \ --i-demultiplexed-seqs fmt-tutorial-demux-4.qza \ --o-representative-sequences rep-seqs-4.qza \ --o-table table-4.qza
Submit this job using the swarm command.
swarm -f QIIME.swarm -g 10 -t 8 --module QIIMEwhere
| -g # | Number of Gigabytes of memory required for each process (1 line in the swarm command file) |
| -t # | Number of threads/CPUs required for each process (1 line in the swarm command file). |
| --module QIIME | Loads the QIIME module for each subjob in the swarm |
