Nextflow Workflow/Process: Build Search Database

[kenibrewer]

DIMPL requires a search database that consists of a large collection of bacterial genomes that have had all their protein-coding regions stripped out. In the current version of DIMPL, a fixed search database is provided via GLOBUS-FTP.

DIMPL v2 should support the building of custom search databases based on a collection of genome fastas and annotation files. This should be implemented via a Nextflow workflow that processes a samplesheet consisting of genome annotation file pairs and runs those files through an extract IGR process.
