Define where the pipeline should find input data and save output data.
Path to comma-separated file containing information about the samples in the experiment.
string^\S+\.csv$You will need to create a design file with information about the reference genomes you wish to build into a metagenomic profiling database. Use this parameter to specify its location. It has to be a comma-separated file with 4 columns, and a header row. See usage docs.
The output directory where the results will be saved. You have to use absolute paths to storage on Cloud infrastructure.
stringEmail address for completion summary.
string^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)\.([a-zA-Z]{2,5})$Set this parameter to your e-mail address to get a summary e-mail with details of the run sent to you when the workflow exits. If set in your user config file (~/.nextflow/config) then you don't need to specify this on the command line for every run.
MultiQC report title. Printed as page header, used for filename if not otherwise specified.
stringSpecify name that resulting databases will be prefixed with.
stringNCBI-style four-column accession to taxonomy ID map file
stringAn NCBI four column file tab-separated file with accession, accession.version, taxid and gi number. The first refers to an accession ID in each FASTA entry header. The second refers to the accession ID but with the accession version number appended to the end (e.g. .1). The third refers to the taxonomy ID of the organism the sequence belongs to, as listed in nodes.dmp. The fourth refers to the old-style NCBI gi number of the sequence.
If building with typical NCBI data, the most typical file is the nucl_gb.accession2taxid file from the [NCBI taxonomy FTP server](https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/taxonomy/accession2taxid/.
Two column protein sequence accession ID to taxonomy map file.
stringA two column file tab-separated file with accession.version and taxid. The first refers to an accession ID in each FASTA entry header. The second refers to the taxonomy ID of the organism the sequence belongs to, as listed in nodes.dmp.
Two column nucleotide sequence accession ID to taxonomy map file.
stringA two column file tab-separated file with accession.version and taxid. The first refers to an accession ID in each FASTA entry header. The second refers to the taxonomy ID of the organism the sequence belongs to, as listed in nodes.dmp.
Path to NCBI-style taxonomy node dmp file.
stringA tab/pipe/tab separated table file. See nodes.dmp section of NCBI taxdump README for column file structure.
Path to NCBI-style taxonomy names dmp file.
stringA tab/pipe/tab separated table file. See names.dmp section of NCBI taxdump README for column file structure.
Path to MEGAN6/MALT mapping db file
stringA mapping DB file containing taxonomy information for building MALT databases. This file can be downloaded from the MEGAN6 website. Can be zipped (the pipeline will unzip this for you if necessary). Typically the megan-nucl-Feb2022.db.zip is used with MALT.
Save concatenated input FASTAs
booleanSome tools require a single input FASTA of all reference genomes. The pipeline will do this concatenation for you, and by supplying this flag you can save the resulting single fasta for you in the results directory under cat/.
Turn on extending of Kraken2 database to include Bracken files. Requires nucleotide FASTA File input.
booleanBracken2 databases are simply just a Kraken2 database with two additional files.
Note however this requires a Kraken2 database with intermediate files still in it, thus can result in large database directories.
Specify parameters being given to bracken build. Must be wrapped in single and double quotes: --bracken_build_params "'--your_param'"
stringParameters must be wrapped in both single and then double quotes outside these, to ensure the parameters are interpreted as a string for internal use rather than interpreted by the terminal as a pipeline-level parameter.

booleanSpecify parameters being given to centrifuge-build. Must be wrapped in single and double quotes: --centrifuge_build_params "'--your_param'"
stringParameters must be wrapped in both single and then double quotes outside these, to ensure the parameters are interpreted as a string for internal use rather than interpreted by the terminal as a pipeline-level parameter.

stringhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/nf-core/configs/masterIf you're running offline, Nextflow will not be able to fetch the institutional config files from the internet.
