Process Details

  • Name: Overall Summary
  • Process UUID: 17fc60dc-e169-11e9-be30-e0aab38271b1
  • Process Group: Misc.

Overview

This process aggregates summary information from multiple analysis steps and creates a comprehensive summary table. It is designed to collect and merge statistical data from various bioinformatics pipeline outputs, providing researchers with a consolidated view of their analysis results across different processing stages.

This process is implemented in Perl.

Key Functionality

  • File Discovery and Ordering: Automatically identifies TSV summary files and orders them according to typical bioinformatics pipeline workflow (adapter removal, trimming, alignment, quantification, etc.)
  • Data Aggregation: Merges summary statistics from multiple analysis steps while preserving sample identifiers and avoiding data duplication
  • Consolidated Output: Generates a single comprehensive summary table containing all relevant metrics from the analysis pipeline
