Tags: eggnog database download annotation functional orthology sample-scope

Download the eggNOG database for functional annotation.

Fetches the pre-computed orthology data and Diamond database required by eggNOG-mapper. This includes the massive protein database and taxonomic information needed for accurate ortholog assignment.

Internet & Storage Required

This process requires an active internet connection and significant disk space (often >50GB) to store the uncompressed database files.

Outputs

record (
db: Path?,
db_tarball: Path?,
logs: Set<Path?>
)
FieldTypeDescription
dbPath?The eggNOG database directory (Diamond database and taxonomy info)
db_tarballPath?A compressed tarball of the database (if requested via parameters)
logsSet<Path?>Optional program specific log files
