 ## Installation
-Start with installing all dependencies listed above (Nextflow, conda, MEME-Suite) and downloading all files from the [GitHub repository](https://github.molgen.mpg.de/loosolab/masterJLU2018).
-It is required to set the [enviroment paths for meme-suite](http://meme-suite.org/doc/install.html?man_type=web#installingtar).
+1. Start with installing all dependencies listed above (Nextflow, conda, MEME-Suite) and downloading all files from the [GitHub repository](https://github.molgen.mpg.de/loosolab/masterJLU2018).
+2. It is required to set the [environment paths for meme-suite](http://meme-suite.org/doc/install.html?man_type=web#installingtar).
 this can be done with following commands:
 ```
 export PATH=[meme-suite instalation path]/libexec/meme-[meme-suite version]:$PATH
 export PATH=[meme-suite instalation path]/bin:$PATH
 ```
 
-Every other dependency will be automatically  installed by Nextflow using conda. For that a new conda enviroment will be created, which can be found in the from Nextflow created work directory after the first pipeline run.
-It is **not** required to create and activate the enviroment from the yaml-file beforehand.
+3. Every other dependency will be automatically installed using conda. For that a conda environment has to be created from the yaml-file given in this repository.
+It is required to create and activate the environment from the yaml-file beforehand.
+This can be done with following commands:
+```condsole
+conda env create -f masterenv.yml
+conda activate masterenv
+```
+
 
 **Important Note:** For conda the channel bioconda needs to be set as highest priority! This is required due to two different packages with the same name in different channels. For the pipeline the package jellyfish from the channel bioconda is needed and **NOT** the jellyfish package from the channel conda-forge!

 ## Quick Start
 ```console
-nextflow run pipeline.nf --bigwig [BigWig-file] --bed [BED-file] --genome_fasta [FASTA-file] --motif_db [MEME-file] --config [UROPA-config-file]
+nextflow run pipeline.nf --bigwig [BigWig-file] --bed [BED-file] --genome_fasta [FASTA-file] --motif_db [MEME-file] --organism [mm10|mm9|hg19|hg38]
 ```
+
+### Demo run
+There are files provided inside  ./demo/ for a demo run.
+Go to the main directory and run following command:
+```
+nextflow run pipeline.nf --bigwig ./demo/buenrostro50k_chr1_fp.bw --bed ./demo/buenrostro50k_chr1_peaks.bed --genome_fasta ./demo/hg38/hg38_chr1.fa --motif_db ./demo/motif_database/jaspar_vertebrates.meme --out ./demo/buenrostro50k_chr1_out/ --create_known_tfbs_path ./demo/known_tfbs_hg38_chr1/ --organism hg38

 ## Known issues
-The Nextflow-script needs a conda environment to run. Nextflow creates the needed environment from the given yaml-file.
-On some systems Nextflow exits the run with following error:
-```
-Caused by:
-  Failed to create Conda environment
-  command: conda env create --prefix  --file env.yml
-  status : 143
-  message:
+
+For unknown reasons, the tool [MOODS](https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/group/pssmfind/), which is called by the tfbsscan, rarely returns empty bedfiles, the problem is probably with the function _pfm_to_log_odds_. If MOODS does not work as expected and has problems with this function, you will see following error message:
 ```
-If this error occurs you have to create the environment before starting the pipeline.
-To create this environment you need the yml-file from the repository.
-Run the following commands to create the environment:
-```console
-path=[Path to given masterenv.yml file]
-conda env create --name masterenv -f $path
+ERROR
+All motiffiles have less than 2 lines!
+Fix motiffiles and try again.
 ```
-When the environment is created, set the variable 'path_env' in the configuration file as the path to it.
+There is no known fix so far. As a workaround either restart the pipeline in some hours with the same parameters or change the parameter tfbsscan_method to _fimo_ which forces the tfbsscan to use [fimo](http://meme-suite.org/doc/fimo.html). This methods takes longer but will cause no known error with empty bed files.
