This document describes the output produced by the assembleBAC-ONT
pipeline. The directories listed below will be created in the results directory after the pipeline has finished. All paths are relative to the top-level results directory.
The pipeline is built using Nextflow and processes data using the following steps:
- Aggregate pre-demultiplexed reads from MinKNOW/Guppy
- Filter long reads
- Read subsampling
- Remove adapter sequences
- de novo genome assembly
- Sequence Type assignment
- Genome annotation
- Genome completeness
- Assembly metrics
- MultiQC
- Pipeline information
artic guppyplex is used to perform length filtering of the demultiplexed Nanopore reads obtained per barcode.
Output files
guppyplex/
*.fastq.gz
files generated by aggregate pre-demultiplexed reads from MinKNOW/Guppy. These files are not saved by default but can be via a custom config file such as the one below.
Filtlong is used to filter short reads from Oxford Nanopore FASTQ files.
Output files
filtlong/
*.log
log files generated by Filtlong.
rasusa is used to subsample reads to a depth cutoff of a default of 100.
Output files
rasusa/
*.fastq.gz
subsampled fastq files
(Porechop
) is used to remove adapter sequences from Oxford Nanopore reads.
Output files
porechop/
*.trim.fastq.gz
adapter trimmed fastq files
Flye assembles bacterial isolate genomes from Oxford Nanopore reads.
Output files
flye/
*_log
: Flye log files
mlst is used to assign Sequence Types (STs) to bacterial isolate genomes.
Output files
mlst/
*.tsv
: MLST calls in tsv format
metadata/
mlst_summary.tsv
: mlst summary in tsv format
Bakta is used for the annotation of bacterial genomes (isolates, MAGs) and plasmids.
Output files
bakta/
*.gff3
: Annotations & sequences in GFF3 format
CheckM2 is used for the rapid assessment of genome bin quality using machine learning
Output files
checkm2/
*.tsv
: CheckM2 output in tsv format
metadata/
checkm2_summary.tsv
: CheckM2 summary in tsv format
Quast is a quality assessment tool for genome assemblies.
Output files
metadata/
transposed_report.tsv
: Quast summary in tsv format
MultiQC is a visualization tool that generates a single HTML report summarising all samples in your project. Most of the pipeline QC results are visualised in the report and further statistics are available in the report data directory.
Output files
multiqc/
multiqc_report.html
: a standalone HTML file that can be viewed in your web browser.multiqc_data/
: directory containing parsed statistics from the different tools used in the pipeline.multiqc_plots/
: directory containing static images from the report in various formats.

- Reports generated by Nextflow:
Nextflow provides excellent functionality for generating various reports relevant to the running and execution of the pipeline. This will allow you to troubleshoot errors with the running of the pipeline, and also provide you with other information such as launch commands, run times and resource usage.
