Description

From the QIIME home page: QIIME stands for Quantitative Insights Into Microbial Ecology. QIIME is an open source software package for comparison and analysis of microbial communities, primarily based on high-throughput amplicon sequencing data (such as SSU rRNA) generated on a variety of platforms, but also supporting analysis of other types of data (such as shotgun metagenomic data). QIIME takes users from their raw sequencing output through initial analyses such as OTU picking, taxonomic assignment, and construction of phylogenetic trees from representative sequences of OTUs, and through downstream statistical analysis, visualization, and production of publication-quality graphics.

Version

  • 1.9.1

Authorized Users

  • CIRCE account holders
  • RRA account holders
  • SC account holders

Platforms

  • CIRCE cluster
  • RRA cluster
  • SC cluster

Modules

QIIME requires the following module file to run:

  • apps/qiime/1.9.1

Running Jobs on the Cluster

The QIIME user guide is essential to understanding the application and making the most of it. The guide and this page should help you to get started with your simulations. Please refer to the Documentation section for a link to the guide.

  • Note on CIRCE: Make sure to run your jobs from your $WORK directory!
  • Note: Scripts are provided as examples only. Your SLURM executables, tools, and options may vary from the example below. For help on submitting jobs to the queue, see our SLURM User’s Guide.

How to Submit Jobs

Use a submit script like the following to run QIIME:

#!/bin/sh
#
#SBATCH --job-name=qiime-test
#SBATCH --time=01:00:00
#SBATCH --ntasks=8
#SBATCH --output=output.%j.NAMD-test

#### SLURM 8 processor QIIME test to run for 1 hour.

module purge
module load apps/qiime/1.9.1

mpirun parallel_align_seqs_pynast.py  -i INPUT_FASTA_FP -o OUTPUT_DIR

 
Next, you can change to your job’s directory, and run the sbatch command to submit the job:

[user@login0 ~]$ cd my/jobdir
[user@login0 jobdir]$ sbatch ./qiime-test.sh
  • You can view the status of your job with the “squeue -u <username>” command
  • Your submit scripts will vary depending on your individual needs. QIIME consists of many different python scripts. Additionally, using the “-h” flag after the script name will provide some information about it’s use. Only scripts with the “parallel_” prefix can be used with more than 1 processor. For all other scripts, the “mpirun” command can be removed from the above example.
