The file or directory to be indexed. COBS can read:

1. FASTA files (*.fa, *.fasta, *.fna, *.ffn, *.faa, *.frn, *.fa.gz, *.fasta.gz, *.fna.gz, *.ffn.gz, *.faa.gz, *.frn.gz),
2. FASTQ files (*.fq, *.fastq, *.fq.gz., *.fastq.gz),
3. “Multi-FASTA” and “Multi-FASTQ” files (*.mfasta, *.mfastq),
4. McCortex files (*.ctx),
5. or text files (*.txt). You can either recursively scan a directory for all files matching any of these files, or pass a *.list file which lists all paths COBS should index.
