Bactopia Tool - `rgi`¶

The rgi module uses Resistance Gene Identifier (RGI) to identify antibiotic resistance genes in assemblies.

Example Usage¶

bactopia --wf rgi \
  --bactopia /path/to/your/bactopia/results \ 
  --include includes.txt

Below is the default output structure for the rgi tool. Where possible the file descriptions below were modified from a tools description.

Results¶

Top Level¶

Below are results that are in the base directory.

Filename	Description
rgi-20.{csv,eps,png}	Heatmap representations as text and images, see RGI - Heatmap for more details
rgi.tsv	A merged TSV file with `rgi` results from all samples

rgi¶

Below is a description of the per-sample results from RGI.

Filename	Description
<SAMPLE_NAME>.json	A JSON file with `rgi` results
<SAMPLE_NAME>.txt	A tab-delimited file with `egi` results, see RGI - Output Details for more details

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 logs folder containing helpful files for you to review if the need ever arises.

Filename	Description
nf-<PROCESS_NAME>.begin	An empty file used to designate the process started
nf-<PROCESS_NAME>.err	Contains STDERR outputs from the process
nf-<PROCESS_NAME>.log	Contains both STDERR and STDOUT outputs from the process
nf-<PROCESS_NAME>.out	Contains STDOUT outputs from the process
nf-<PROCESS_NAME>.run	The script Nextflow uses to stage/unstage files and queue processes based on given profile
nf-<PROCESS_NAME>.sh	The script executed by bash for the process
nf-<PROCESS_NAME>.trace	The Nextflow Trace report for the process
versions.yml	A 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.

Filename	Description
rgi-dag.dot	The Nextflow DAG visualisation
rgi-report.html	The Nextflow Execution Report
rgi-timeline.html	The Nextflow Timeline Report
rgi-trace.txt	The Nextflow Trace report

Program Versions¶

At the end of each run, each of the versions.yml files are merged into the files below.

Filename	Description
software_versions.yml	A complete list of programs and versions used by each process
software_versions_mqc.yml	A complete list of programs and versions formatted for MultiQC

Parameters¶

Required Parameters¶
