Find antimicrobial resistance genes and point mutations.

This subworkflow uses AMRFinderPlus to identify acquired antimicrobial resistance genes and some point mutations in protein or assembled nucleotide sequences.

Take

fasta: Channel<Record>
FieldDescription
metaGroovy Record containing sample information
genesNucleotide sequences of genes in FASTA format
proteinsOptional amino acid sequences of proteins in FASTA format (Path?)
gffOptional GFF3 annotation file (Path?)
db: Path
NameTypeDescription
dbPathPath to the AMRFinderPlus database directory containing reference data for AMR gene detection.

Emit

Published

The sample_outputs and run_outputs emissions are aggregates of output files that will be published in the entry workflow.

sample_outputs

OutputDescription
reportA tab-delimited report of identified AMR genes and virulence factors
mutation_reportOrganism-specific point mutations associated with antimicrobial resistance

run_outputs

OutputDescription
csvA merged TSV file with AMRFinder+ results from all samples
