Can provide

external-genomes internal-genomes

Can consume

contigs-db profile-db collection

Usage

This script can automatically generate an external or internal genomes file.

Generating an external genomes file

If you provide an input directory and a name for the output file, then every contigs-db in that directory will get a line in the resulting external-genomes file:

anvi-script-gen-genomes-file --input-dir path/to/dir -e external_genomes.txt

The name of each database will be whatever string is in front of the *.db extension, and the contigs_db_path column will contain absolute paths.

Generating an internal genomes file

To get an internal-genomes file containing all bins from a collection, provide a profile-db, its corresponding contigs-db, and the collection name:

anvi-script-gen-genomes-file -i internal_genomes.txt -c CONTIGS.db -p PROFILE.db -C default

The name of each internal genome will be the same as the bin name, and the path columns will contain absolute paths.
