 ## Introduction
 
-nf-core/taxprofiler is a pipeline for highly-parallelised taxonomic profiling of shotgun metagenomic data across multiple tools simultaneously. In addition to multiple profiling tools, at the same time it allows you to performing profiling across multiple databases and settings per tool, as well as produces standardised output tables to allow immediate cross comparison of results between tools.

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:
 
-- an sequenceing read samplesheet
+- a sequencing read samplesheet
 - a database samplesheet
 
-Both contain metadata and paths to the data of your input samples and database.

 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.

 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.
