Download the latest version of the iPool-Seq pipeline, and unzip it. On a linux terminal, this is achieved with
VER=latest-release
URL=http://github.com/Cibiv/ipoolseq-pipeline/archive
curl -L -O $URL/$VER.tar.gz
tar xzf $VER.tar.gz
cd ipoolseq-pipeline-$VER
Instead, the desired release
can of course also be downloaded and unpacked manually, or cloned using git clone.
In that case, all further commands must be entered in a terminal windows whose current
directory is the root directory of the pipeline.
The file "environment.yaml" defines a Conda (https://conda.io) environment that provides all programs necessary for running the iPool-Seq analysis pipeline. To ensure reproducibility of that environment even if Conda packages are replaced and removed, our source code repository also contains "environment.tar.gz", a conda-pack archive of that environent. To unpack that environment into "./environment" and make it usable, run
./install-environment.sh
Note: The script "install-environment.sh" will download "environment.tar.gz" from GitHub if necessary - as a git LFS object, pristine checkouts or sourcecode archives from GitHub may contain a pointer file instead of the actual archive. If the download should fail, you can also manually download environment.tar.gz and place it in the root directory of the pipeline before running "install-environment.sh"
Remember that (as all conda environments), this environment must, before it can be used, be activated for the current terminal session by doing
source ./environment/bin/activate
This step must be repeated for each new terminal session
The following command downloads the raw sequencing reads for the 12 (2 experiments, 3 replicates for each, each replicate consists of an input and an output pool) libraries from Uhse et al., removes read-throughs and technical sequences from the reads, maps them to the U. maydis genome, and counts the number of UMIs per insertional knockout. The number of cores (8) should be adjusted to the number of cores available.

See http://www.cibiv.at/software/ipoolseq-pipeline, and our publication (Uhse et al., 2019) in Current Protocols in Plant Biology that describes both the web-lab and the data-analysis parts of iPool-Seq in detail, and include a step-by-step description of how to use this pipeline.
