**nf-core/taxprofiler** is a bioinformatics best-practice analysis pipeline for taxonomic profiling of shotgun metagenomic data. It allows for in-parallel profiling with multiple profiling tools against multiple databases, produces standardised output tables. **nf-core/taxprofiler** is a bioinformatics best-practice analysis pipeline for taxonomic classification and profiling of shotgun metagenomic data. It allows for in-parallel taxonomic identification of reads or taxonomic abundance estimation with multiple classification and profiling tools against multiple databases, produces standardised output tables.
The pipeline is built using [Nextflow](https://www.nextflow.io), a workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It uses Docker/Singularity containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible. The [Nextflow DSL2](https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/dsl2.html) implementation of this pipeline uses one container per process which makes it much easier to maintain and update software dependencies. Where possible, these processes have been submitted to and installed from [nf-core/modules](https://github.com/nf-core/modules) in order to make them available to all nf-core pipelines, and to everyone within the Nextflow community!

## Introduction ## Introduction
<!-- TODO nf-core: Add documentation about anything specific to running your pipeline. For general topics, please point to (and add to) the main nf-core website. --> nf-core/taxprofiler is a pipeline for highly-parallelised taxonomic classification and profiling of shotgun metagenomic data across multiple tools simultaneously. In addition to multiple classification and profiling tools, at the same time it allows you to performing taxonomic classification and profiling across multiple databases and settings per tool, as well as produces standardised output tables to allow immediate cross comparison of results between tools.
To run nf-core/taxprofiler, at a minimum two you require two inputs:
- a sequencing read samplesheet
- a database samplesheet
Both contain metadata and paths to the data of your input samples and databases.
When running nf-core/taxprofiler, every step and tool is 'opt in'. To run a given classifier or profiler you must make sure to supply both a database in your `<database>.csv` and supply `--run_<profiler>` flag to your command. Omitting either will result in the profiling tool not executing.
nf-core/profiler also includes optional pre-processing (adapter clipping, merge running etc.) or post-processing (visualisation) steps. These are also opt in with a `--perform_<step>` flag. In some cases, the pre- and post-processing steps may also require additional files. Please check the parameters tab of this documentation for more information.
Please see the rest of this page for information about how to prepare input samplesheets and databases and how to run Nextflow pipelines. See the [parameters](https://nf-co.re/taxprofiler/parameters) documentation for more information about specific options the pipeline also offers.
## Samplesheet inputs ## Samplesheet inputs

Raw sequencing read processing in the form of adapter clipping and paired-end read merging can be activated via the `--perform_shortread_qc` or `--perform_longread_qc` flags.
It is highly recommended to run this on raw reads to remove artifacts from sequencing that can cause false positive identification of taxa (e.g. contaminated reference genomes) and/or skews in taxonomic abundance profiles. If you have public data, normally these should have been corrected for however you should still check this is the case.

By default, paired-end merging is not activated. In this case paired-end 'alignment' against the reference databases is performed where supported, and if not, supported pairs will be independently profiled. If paired-end merging is activated you can also specify whether to include unmerged reads in the reads sent for profiling (`--shortread_qc_mergepairs` and `--shortread_qc_includeunmerged`). By default, paired-end merging is not activated. In this case paired-end 'alignment' against the reference databases is performed where supported, and if not, supported pairs will be independently classified/profiled. If paired-end merging is activated you can also specify whether to include unmerged reads in the reads sent for classification/profiling (`--shortread_qc_mergepairs` and `--shortread_qc_includeunmerged`).
You can also turn off clipping and only perform paired-end merging, if requested. This can be useful when processing data downloaded from the ENA, SRA, or DDBJ (`--shortread_qc_skipadaptertrim`). You can also turn off clipping and only perform paired-end merging, if requested. This can be useful when processing data downloaded from the ENA, SRA, or DDBJ (`--shortread_qc_skipadaptertrim`).
Both tools support length filtering of reads and can be tuned with `--shortread_qc_minlength`. Performing length filtering can be useful to remove short (often low sequencing complexity) sequences that result in unspecific classification and therefore slow down runtime during profiling, with minimal gain.

Complexity filtering is primarily a run-time optimisation step. It is not necessary for accurate taxonomic profiling, however it can speed up run-time of each tool by removing reads with low-diversity of nucleotides (e.g. with mono-nucleotide - `AAAAAAAA`, or di-nucleotide repeats `GAGAGAGAGAGAGAG`) that have a low-chance of giving an informative taxonomic ID as they can be associated with many different taxa. Removing these reads therefore saves computational time and resources. Complexity filtering is primarily a run-time optimisation step.

nf-core/taxprofiler currently offers host-removal via alignment against a reference genome with Bowtie2, and the use of the unaligned reads for downstream profiling. nf-core/taxprofiler currently offers host-removal via alignment against a reference genome with Bowtie2 for short reads and minimap2 for long reads, and the use of the unaligned reads for downstream classification/profiling.
You can supply your reference genome in FASTA format with `--hostremoval_reference`. You can also optionally supply a directory containing pre-indexed Bowtie2 index files with `--shortread_hostremoval_index` or a minimap2 `.mmi` file for `--longread_hostremoval_index`, however nf-core/taxprofiler will generate these for you if necessary. Pre-supplying the index directory or files can greatly speed up the process, and these can be re-used. You can supply your reference genome in FASTA format with `--hostremoval_reference`.

#### Profiling #### Classification and Profiling
The following suggestion gives you some tips and suggestions regarding running some of the different tools specifically _within the pipeline_. For advice as to which tool to run in your context, please see the documentation of each tool. The following sections provide tips and suggestions for running the different taxonomic classification and profiling tools _within the pipeline_. For advice and/or guidance whether you should run a particular tool on your specific data, please see the documentation of each tool!
###### Bracken An important distinction between the different tools in included in the pipeline is classification versus profiling. Taxonomic _classification_ is concerned with simply detecting the presence of species in a given sample. Taxonomic _profiling_ involves additionally estimating the _abundance_ of each species.
It is unclear whether Bracken is suitable for running long reads, as it makes certain assumptions about read lengths. Furthemore, during testing we found issues where Bracken would fail on the long-read test data. Therefore nf-core/taxprofiler does not run Bracken on data specified as being sequenced with `OXFORD_NANOPORE` in the input samplesheet. If you would like to change this behaviour, please contact us on the nf-core slack and we can discuss this. Note that not all taxonomic classification tools (e.g. Kraken, MALT, Kaiju) performs _profiling_, but all taxonomic profilers (e.g. MetaPhlAn, mOTUs, Bracken) must perform some form of _classification_ prior to profiling.
###### Centrifuge For advice as to which tool to run in your context, please see the documentation of each tool.
> 🖊️ If you would like to change this behaviour, please contact us on the [nf-core slack](https://nf-co.re/join) and we can discuss this.
Not all tools currently have dedicated tips, suggestions and/or recommendations, however we welcome further contributions for existing and additional tools via pull requests to the [nf-core/taxprofiler repository](https://github.com/nf-core/taxprofiler)!

#### Post Processing
##### Visualisation
nf-core/taxprofiler supports generation of Krona interactive pie chart plots for the following compatible tools.
- Kraken2
- Centrifuge
- Kaiju
- MALT
> ⚠️ MALT KRONA plots cannot be generated automatically, you must also specify a Krona taxonomy directory with `--krona_taxonomy_directory` if you wish to generate these.
##### Multi-Table Generation
In addition to per-sample profiles, the pipeline also supports generation of 'native' multi-sample taxonomic profiles (i.e., those generated by the taxonomic profiling tools themselves or additional utility scripts provided by the tool authors).
These are executed on a per-database level. I.e., you will get a multi-sample taxon table for each database you provide for each tool and will be placed in the same directory as the directories containing the per-sample profiles.
The following tools will produce multi-sample taxon tables:
- **Bracken** (via bracken's `combine_bracken_outputs.py` script)
- **Centrifuge** (via KrakenTools' `combine_kreports.py` script)
- **Kaiju** (via Kaiju's `kaiju2table` tool)
- **Kraken2** (via KrakenTools' `combine_kreports.py` script)
- **MetaPhlAn3** (via MetaPhlAn's `merge_metaphlan_tables.py` script)
- **mOTUs** (via the `motus merge` command)
Note that the multi-sample tables from these folders are not inter-operable with each other as they can have different formats.
