tbprofiler

Tags: mycobacterium-tuberculosis resistance lineage typing tb bactopia-tool

Detection of antimicrobial resistance and lineage typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

This Bactopia Tool uses TBProfiler to profile Mycobacterium tuberculosis genomes for resistance mutations and strain typing. The workflow processes sequencing reads to identify resistance-conferring variants and determine the lineage of each TB isolate.

Usage

Bactopia CLI:

bactopia --wf tbprofiler \
--bactopia /path/to/your/bactopia/results

Nextflow:

nextflow run bactopia/bactopia/workflows/bactopia-tools/tbprofiler/main.nf \
--bactopia /path/to/your/bactopia/results

Audit Trail

Below are files that can assist you in understanding which parameters and program versions were used.

Logs

Each process that is executed will have a folder named logs. In this folder are helpful files for you to review if the need ever arises.

ExtensionDescription
.beginAn empty file used to designate the process started
.errContains STDERR outputs from the process
.logContains both STDERR and STDOUT outputs from the process
.outContains STDOUT outputs from the process
.runThe script Nextflow uses to stage/unstage files and queue processes based on given profile
.shThe script executed by bash for the process
.traceThe Nextflow trace report for the process
versions.ymlA YAML formatted file with program versions

Nextflow Reports

These Nextflow reports provide great a great summary of your run. These can be used to optimize resource usage and estimate expected costs if using cloud platforms.

FilenameDescription
tbprofiler-dag.dotThe Nextflow DAG visualization
tbprofiler-report.htmlThe Nextflow Execution Report
tbprofiler-timeline.htmlThe Nextflow Timeline Report
tbprofiler-trace.txtThe Nextflow Trace report
