+## Workflow modification
+
+* git_dir and data_dir/result_dir in every config file
+
+## How to run snakemake
+
+Running snakemake: download -> preprocessing -> methods -> metrics
+
+* dry run: `snakemake -s <process>.smk -nf`
+
+* actual run `snakemake -s <process>.smk --cores <n_of_cores> --use-conda --ri`
+     * `ri`: in case you use keyboard interruption to quit the previous job. This will make sure snakemake rereun those incomplete job.
+
+* Try not to kill snakemake when it's installing conda packages.
