Getting started
Data import and export
Most data import and export is performed using the tools included in the CLC Genomics Workbench.
Prepare raw data
The first thing to do after data import is to check the quality of the sequencing reads and perform the necessary trimming. Note that the CLC Workbench is able to trim automatically read-through adapters, but if you are not sure you have read-through reads, you will need to provide a Trim Adapter List.
See the Prepare Raw Data template workflow for preparing the raw reads.
Batching workflows
Batch processing refers to running an analysis multiple times, using different inputs for each analysis run. For example, if you have 10 sequence lists and wish to run 10 mapping analyses, one per sequence list, then these 10 analyses could be launched by setting up one batch job. When a job is run in batch mode, parameter settings stay the same for each run. It is just the inputs that are changed.
For launching a workflow with more than one input, where the contents of more than one input should change in each batch, see Batching workflows with more than one input changing per run.
