Recursively search for fast5 file #30

Closed DidiCi closed 1 year ago

DidiCi commented 1 year ago

Good morning, I wanted to know if there is a way to recursively search for fast5 files when creating the index. Also, just for info, the index function seems not to work when the first column of the sequencing_summary reports the fastq and not the fast5. Thank you in advance Diletta

DNAscent index should search recursively for any file with the fast5 extension already, so you can just point it to the top-level directory with your fast5 files in it. The problem with the columns stems from devices (like the GridION) with built-in basecalling producing a sequencing summary file with a slightly different format compared to the one produced by the downloadable version of Guppy. You should be able to fix that by adding the --GridION flag to the DNAscent index command, which will shift the columns appropriately. Closing for now, but reopen if that doesn't fix it.
