Merge ORF Seqs Specifications
Process Details
- Name:
merge_orf_seqs - Process UUID:
f931fck8ej78421wm3cslesj6g8cav - Process Group:
Annotation
Overview
This process merges Open Reading Frame (ORF) sequences from multiple samples into a single consolidated file. This is typically performed as a preparatory step before downstream annotation or comparative analysis, allowing all ORF sequences to be processed together in subsequent workflows.
This process is implemented in Bash.
Key Functionality
- File Concatenation: Combines multiple FASTA files containing ORF sequences into a single output file
- Directory Organization: Creates a structured output directory (
bakta/) for organized file management - Sequence Consolidation: Merges all input sequences while maintaining their individual identities and headers
