Description

MetaPhlAn is a tool for profiling the composition of microbial communities from metagenomic shotgun sequencing data.

Input

name:type

pattern

meta:map

Groovy Map containing sample information e.g. [ id:‘test’, single_end:false ]

input:file

Metaphlan 3.0 can classify the metagenome from a variety of input data types, including FASTQ files (single-end and paired-end), FASTA, bowtie2-produced SAM files (produced from alignments to the MetaPHlAn marker database) and intermediate bowtie2 alignment files (bowtie2out)

*.{fastq.gz, fasta, fasta.gz, sam, bowtie2out.txt}

metaphlan_db:file

Directory containing pre-downloaded and uncompressed MetaPhlAn3 database downloaded from: http://cmprod1.cibio.unitn.it/biobakery3/metaphlan_databases/. Note that you will also need to specify --index and the database version name (e.g. ‘mpa_v31_CHOCOPhlAn_201901’) in your module.conf ext.args for METAPHLAN3_METAPHLAN3!
