Bactopia Tool - genotyphi

The genotyphi module uses GenoTyphi to call Typhi lineages, AMR determinants, and plasmid markers in Salmonella Typhi samples. Samples are first processed by Mykrobe using mykrobe predict with typhi specified as the species. Then the Mykrobe results are then processed by the parse_typhi_mykrobe.py script available from GenoTyphi.

Example Usage

bactopia --wf genotyphi \
  --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.

Extension	Description
.begin	An empty file used to designate the process started
.err	Contains STDERR outputs from the process
.log	Contains both STDERR and STDOUT outputs from the process
.out	Contains STDOUT outputs from the process
.run	The script Nextflow uses to stage/unstage files and queue processes based on given profile
.sh	The script executed by bash for the process
.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
genotyphi-dag.dot	The Nextflow DAG visualisation
genotyphi-report.html	The Nextflow Execution Report
genotyphi-timeline.html	The Nextflow Timeline Report
genotyphi-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
