GAMBIT_Query_PHB

The GAMBIT_Query_PHB workflow performs taxon assignment of a genome assembly using the GAMBIT task.

Inputs

Terra Task Name Variable Type Description Default Value Terra Status
gambit_query assembly_fasta File Assembly file in FASTA format Required
gambit_query samplename String Sample name Required
gambit cpu Int Number of CPUs to allocate to the task 8 Optional
gambit disk_size Int Amount of storage (in GB) to allocate to the task 100 Optional
gambit memory Int Amount of memory/RAM (in GB) to allocate to the task 16 Optional
gambit docker String The Docker container to use for the task "us-docker.pkg.dev/general-theiagen/staphb/gambit:1.0.0" Optional
gambit gambit_db_genomes File Database of metadata for assembled query genomes; requires complementary signatures file. If not provided, uses default database "/gambit-db" "gs://gambit-databases-rp/2.0.0/gambit-metadata-2.0.0-20240628.gdb" Optional
gambit gambit_db_signatures File Signatures file; requires complementary genomes file. If not specified, the file from the docker container will be used. "gs://gambit-databases-rp/2.0.0/gambit-signatures-2.0.0-20240628.gs" Optional

Workflow Tasks

GAMBIT determines the taxon of the genome assembly using a k-mer based approach to match the assembly sequence to the closest complete genome in a database, thereby predicting its identity. Sometimes, GAMBIT can confidently designate the organism to the species level. Other times, it is more conservative and assigns it to a higher taxonomic rank.

For additional details regarding the GAMBIT tool and a list of available GAMBIT databases for analysis, please consult the GAMBIT tool documentation.
