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.
