Process
Name BIGSLICE
Input 3 channels
#1 tuple
meta map

Groovy Map containing sample information e.g. [ id:'sample1' ]

bgc file

List of GenBank (.gbk) files containing genomic region annotations for BiG-SLiCE input. Each file represents a BGC region. The module internally organises them into the required BiG-SLiCE input folder structure (datasets.tsv and taxonomy TSV).

*.gbk
hmmdb directory

Path to the BiG-SLiCE HMM database folder containing biosynthetic and sub Pfams for annotation, in the required BiG-SLiCE format. An example directory in compressed archive format can be found here: https://github.com/medema-group/bigslice/releases/download/v2.0.0rc/bigslice-models.2022-11-30.tar.gz

export_tsv boolean

If true, runs a second BiG-SLiCE invocation to export all results from the SQLite database to TSV files under tsv_export/. Additional arguments for this step can be passed via task.ext.args2.

Output 3 channels
#1 tsv tuple
meta map

Groovy Map containing sample/dataset information

${prefix}/result/tsv_export directory

Directory containing TSV exports of all parsed BGC metadata, vectorized features and clustering results. Only present when export_tsv input is set to true.

tsv_export
#2 output tuple
meta map

Groovy Map containing sample/dataset information

${prefix}/result directory

BiG-SLiCE result directory containing the SQLite database (data.db), predicted feature FASTA files (tmp/**/*.fa), and optionally TSV exports (tsv_export/) when export_tsv is true.
